The colour is light, bright and glistening. The wine displays powerful aromatics of gooseberries and tropical fruit. The palate shows a nice approachable mouth feel which lingers to a refreshing dry finish and a subtle flinty minerality.

2021 delivered strong growing conditions in the Great Southern, with winter and spring being reasonably dry and summer holding slightly cooler temperatures which allowed for flavours to develop while retaining natural acidity. From selected Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon vineyards in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. Picked to produce a fresh, dry, aromatic blend that showcases the varietal characteristics of this classic Western Australian blend.

Both the Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc were picked before dawn on 12th March 2021. The varieties were gently de-stemmed and crushed immediately. Light pressing followed with the free run juice separated and fermentation taking place in stainless steel tank. The parcels of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc were kept separate throughout. The fermentation was carried out at 15 degrees for 20 days. At completion, the wines were racked off their lees. Blending trials were carried out to produce what we considered to be the best possible Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc blend.

Our goal is to produce a dry, fresh and aromatic styled wine with structure and length of flavour. The final blend being 62% Semillon and 38% 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.

Singlefile Wines takes its name from the resident geese, who parade gracefully in single file each day at dusk en route to the lake below the vineyards.

The crest on the Singlefile Wines label articulates the family’s international heritage. The springbok is the national animal for South Africa and appears on that country’s coat of arms. The stag is the emblem of County Clare in Ireland, where Patrick was born. Most importantly, the Singlefile moniker represents the drive to craft exceptional Great Southern wines.
