The colour is light, bright and glistening. The wine displays powerful aromatics of gooseberries and tropical fruit with some subtle minerality. The palate shows a nice approachable mouth feel with a gooseberry and citrus flavour profile. The flavours linger and the wine has a refreshing, dry, long finish.

The 2022 growing season delivered ideal conditions for growing cool climate semillon and sauvignon blanc in the Great Southern region. There was good rainfall over winter. Spring was reasonably dry and summer held slightly cooler temperatures which allowed for flavours to develop while retaining natural acidity. The fruit, from selected sauvignon blanc and semillon vineyards in the Great Southern region, was picked to produce a fresh and aromatic blend that showcases the best varietal characteristics of this classic Western Australian blend.

Both the semillon and the sauvignon blanc were picked before dawn on 22nd March 2022. Both of the varieties were gently de-stemmed and crushed. A light pressing followed with the free run juice separated and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The parcels of semillon and sauvignon blanc were kept separate throughout. The fermentation was carried out at 15°C for 15 days. On 16th April the wines were racked off their lees and blending trials were carried out to produce what we considered to be the best possible semillon and sauvignon blanc blend. With the goal of producing a dry, fresh styled wine with good structure and a nice length of flavour, the final blend was 51% semillon and 49% sauvignon blanc.

About Singlefile Wines

Singlefile Wines represents our family’s pursuit of excellence. Every wine in our range embodies a drive to craft wines of exceptional quality from Western Australia’s Great Southern wine region.

At Singlefile we strive to excel in every task that comes before us. From rigorously analysing soil composition and climatic variations through to vigour in the winery, Singlefile’s approach to winemaking is nothing short of singular.

Singlefile’s wines are expressions of the unique terroir of the Great Southern wine region, which imparts distinctive attributes to the parcels of fruit that alight in our winery. We hand pick sites that best suit each of our varieties. Invariably, these sites are premium cool-climate settings, boasting supreme conditions to grow grapes of outstanding quality.

Singlefile fruit is treated as naturally as possible, allowing the beauty of the grape to shine in the final wine. In the winery, we also embrace the “less is more” practice, where wines are allowed to develop with minimal intervention.
