Nose: Intense and pungent nose, combining the aromatic quince and lemons of Semillon with the vibrant gooseberry and herbaceous snow pea of cool climate Sauvignon Blanc.
Palate: The intensity of the nose is reflected in the seamless purity of the palate. Mouthwatering citrus fruits are balanced by hints of more tropical passion fruit. An underlying flinty complexity is complemented by the subtle texture of French oak.Pungently grassy, with a quenching core of gooseberry and passionfruit. This is moreish. The oak is seamlessly countersunk into the concentrated fruit. A very impressive wine, especially for the price.
90 pts - Angus Hughson (Vinous)This aged release 2019 Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc Reserve is an attractively complex wine, offering layered aromas of passionfruit, honey and melon with a touch of gunflint supported by a gentle spicy oak frame. Dry with a creamy texture, the retreating acidity and toasty development illustrate a wine at the peak of its power and probably best enjoyed over the next two years.
