Wine Makers Notes
| Tasting Notes | |
|---|---|
| Colour | Lively green-gold appearance |
| Bouquet | Initial herbal aromas of Semillon interlace with subtle oak. |
| Palate | The palate is serious, yet retains a vibrant acidity which, combined with fresh Sauvignon flavours and creamy richness from lees contact in barrel makes for a mouth watering, complex wine. |
