The wine is pale with green hues. The aroma is typical Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc Semillon; passionfruit, guava, lemon and bay leaf/herbal characters with some smoky barrel ferment complexity. The barrel fermentation also adds a creamy, waxy middle palate texture and the citrus edge to the acidity keeps the wine balanced. The finish is long and clean with lingering lemon curd and guava characters.
This youthful wine is designed to be an antidote the NZ Sauvignon Blanc style: it has weight and texture due to fruit weight not sugar and acid. Thus it will suit a range of moderately flavoured foods, especially shellfish and Asian flavours. Try with your next dim sum.
