Nose
This is a fresh, exuberant, premium Semillon driven example of the Bordeaux style white Margaret River is renowned for. Intensely aromatic, it exudes aromas of fresh meadow hay, lemon blossom and ripe pineapple, with a lovely coriander/lime zest.
Palate
The palate brims with fresh-cut pineapple, tropical fruits and lemon grass, with the tangy natural acidity delivering a crisp, dry ultra-refreshing finish.
Winemaking
2016 could well be the vintage of the decade for Margaret River aromatic whites, with Semillon’s star shinning brightly as the hero of this extraordinary white – wand the Savvy close behind. To capitalise, the premium Semillon and Sauvignon fruit was picked in the cool of night and then processed immediately on arrival at the winery to minimise unwanted oxidising and the need for rapid cooling prior to cold soaking. This maximised the extraordinary varietal characters. The blend was then leaned towards the Semillon reflecting the superb quality of the fruit and the increasing popularity of the classic Semillon led Bordeaux style, upon which Margaret River originally made its name.
