Sémillon - Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting profile

Structure: light-bodied, high acidity, dry

The classic Bordeaux white partnership made in the Canberra District, where altitude and cold nights give both varieties unusual definition. Sauvignon Blanc supplies citrus, gooseberry and a cut-grass snap; Sémillon adds lemony weight and a waxy texture underneath that stops the wine being merely sharp. Unoaked, light-bodied and bone dry, with high acidity and a clean finish. The blend is more complete than either grape alone manages here.
