Over two days. Really quite interesting. Excellent varietal balance, with Sauvignon Blanc in the lead position, delightfully accentuated by all of the elements that make Sémillon my second favorite white variety, after Riesling. Piercing, energetic, and long. 90-91.

Pale lemon/green colour. Aromatic nose. Herbaceous and green. Grass, green pepper and some white flowers with some wet stone aromas. The palate is great. Crisp acidity and great body (almost 50% semillon doing its wonders). Slightly creamy lees thing going on, and some nice tight tart lemon flavours with green pepper still. Short ish finish but very well balanced. Crisp and refreshing with a good body.

Mmmm nope! So green, oh so green it felt like I was drinking a bell pepper. Not my thing.

Very good value for the price. Med(-) body that adds some flesh with airtime. The Semillon softens the cut of the Sauvignon Blanc, though there's still good lift, and it's nicely food friendly. I've been drinking, and enjoying, these for 15+ years, and the price, and quality have disappointed maybe once. Good mineral, sea breeze, with white, golden fruits; dry, medium finish. Drink now. recommended+

Though leaning modern in style, correct and appealing. A wine of substance, well structured and balanced.
