52% Sauvignon Blanc, 48% Semillon

Individual night harvests were crushed, chilled and pressed into tank for a 3-4 day settling period. Batches were then racked and warmed before either going into barrel (stainless or oak) to be inoculated using selected yeast strains. 10% of juice was fermented with grape solids in new Bordeaux coopered French oak.

The lees were stirred weekly for 10 weeks and then racked on light lees for a further 1-2 months whilst receiving first sulphur additions. The time on lees work has resulted in some lovely textural elements that perfectly complement the citrus fruit flavours.

The nose shows the strength of the Semillon in 2024, loads of lemon, lime, herbs, jalapeno and grapefruit. The Sauvignon Blanc displays classic Margaret River guava, lemongrass, lychee and elderflower.

The lychee notes and white nectarine provide a burst of flavour on the palate whilst the grape solids and barrel ferment add complex savoury notes and minerality. Powerful grape fruit and jalapeno notes come through on the palate showing the strength of Semillon in 2024.

This wine is textured and powerful but still displays fine acidity. The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon will drink well over the warmer months with or without food and provide some short term reward for cellaring up to 2-3 years.
