Nose
Fresh and vibrant with clean and pure aromas of lime, thyme, snowpea
and nettle with underlying riper fruit characters of guava, passionfruit
and lychee.
Palate
Long, plump and textured palate with nettle, snow pea, thyme,
passionfruit and lychee. The wine has a firm finish with lingering guava
and herbaceous characters.
Growing Conditions
Fruit is sourced from neighboring properties in the northern Yallingup
sub-region of Margaret River. Direct input from Forester’s viticulturist
ensures well balanced canopies and crops are grown for the ripe style
desired. The 2017 vintage was a cooler year for white grapes in Margaret
River, allowing plenty of time during February and March to ripen the
fruit to our specification
Bottling
Bottled under screwcap into a burgundy bottle.
Winemaking
Modern white winemaking techniques are employed in the production
of the Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, with temperature control considered
critical from the moment the fruit reaches the winery. The fruit is
destemmed and crushed, then must chilled and pressed off skins in a very
short space of time. The clarified juice is then racked to a fermentation
tank. A range of specially selected yeasts are employed on different
parcels of fruit and the resulting dry tanks of wine are carefully blended
to maintain the Forester Style.
Appearance
Pale green/straw.
Food Pairing
A range of light dining cuisine, an everyday wine for all occasions.
