Tasting profile
Structure: light-bodied, high acidity, dry
The classic Bordeaux white partnership, made in the cool Canberra District — Sauvignon Blanc supplying citrus, gooseberry and a cut-grass snap, Sémillon adding lemony weight and a waxy texture beneath it. Unoaked and light-bodied, with high acidity and a clean, dry finish. The blend is more interesting than either grape alone here: the Sémillon stops the Sauvignon being merely sharp, and the Sauvignon keeps the Sémillon lively.
