About This Wine
'Comprised of two-thirds sauvignon blanc, one-third semillon, one-third of the blend fermented and aged for 2 months on lees in seasoned French oak. Cool, green-tinged fruit, richer tropical characters and minerality all play a part here, which is exactly as the winemaker intended, and it's an excellent result. There's freshness and complexity, attractive mouthfeel and length of flavour, and most importantly an easy, satisfying drinkability. Expertly made.'

Margaret River Wine
In the southwest of Western Australia, the Margaret River wine region is unique in that it is the most maritime-influenced region in all of Australia. The cool Indian ocean breezes come in through the summer to keep the temperatures around the vines steady resulting in an unusually even accumulation of warmth in the growing season. It is also quite dry as interestingly less than 20% of the annual rainfall occurs as the grapes are growing. The region’s climatic factors have been compared to what Bordeaux would be like in a dry season. While the region’s total production is relatively small (3% of Australia’s total wine production), it is responsible for 20% of our premium wine market.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz as well as Bordeaux blends are all very popular red wine options in the region.
For whites, refreshing blends of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon as well as complex, age worthy Chardonnays are the specialties.
