About this Wine

APPEARANCE
Pale yellow with a green and bronze tinge.

NOSE
Pretty floral notes and enticing tropical fruits are layered with savoury, earthy complexity, signalling a distinctive and alternative style of Sauvignon Blanc. Notes of frangipani, lantana, blackcurrant, feijoa and the savoury tones of dried shitake, sandalwood and chicory coffee.

PALATE
A pure, softly textured palate, creamy yet fresh and crunchy. Durian fruit softness with feijoa, blackcurrant, mango and tarragon. The finish is lightly tannic and dry, reminiscent of pear skin, with a lingering subtle hint of exotic sandalwood incense.

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.
