The region has established an excellent reputation for this blend,
and it’s not hard to see why. The full-bodied semillon component
gives structure and weight to the fresh fruit characters of the
sauvignon, which produces a rounded flavoursome wine of great
charm.
An ideal food wine, that with bottle age, develops into something
quite special.
Reviews: 2000: "Nice complexity to the aroma, with appealing barrel-ferment notes complementing ripe melon fruits.
A complex fume style with well matched fruit and oak and "good honest flavour" - Winestate Magazine March / April 2006.
A very full-bodied and mouthfilling style that has real weight
partly derived from the oak maturation. As a youngster it goes
with anything, although with some bottle age, demands fuller flavoured
dishes such as poultry and pork and rich vegetable dishes.
