James Halliday
"90 pts ... A bright and fragrant bouquet is a promising start, and the citrus and tropical palate does not disappoint; finishes with refreshing lemony acidity. Drink through 2011." -- 11/09 Winemaker's Notes
"Fragrant lemon grass and gooseberry notes with pronounced citrus blossom and lemon rind overtones. A supple juicy mid palate, delicious racy lemon and grapefruit flavours with a minerally counterpoint. Lovely balance, harmonious and round but finishing with crisp clean finish and lovely long flavours. Drink now to enjoy its freshness. 13% alc." Technical Notes
" The blend is 68% Sauvignon, 28% Semillon and a splash of Riesling. The quintessential Western Australian blended white with a nod to that classic Bordeaux blend. This blend delivers due to the complimentary flavours, with the lemon notes of Semillon lifted by the grassy gooseberry notes of Sauvignon while the palate weight of Semillon is enhanced by the tighter linear structure of Sauvignon, proving that old adage, a blend is better than the parts allowing us to produce a wine with lovely aromatics, balance, length and focus." | |
