This wine comprises of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon. Most of the Sauvignon Blanc fruit had 8 hours skin contact prior to pressing. The Semillon component is crushed and pressed immediately after picking. This wine was 100% barrel fermented with predominantly larger barrels used. All went through natural yeast fermentation. The extended lees contact helps fill out the middle palate and gives this wine the extra dimension it is known for.

 
Tasting Notes:
The bouquet of the 2011 Sauvignon Blanc/ Semillon shows good lifted tropical spice with citrus and pineapple overtones. This shines through on the palate combining with herbaceousness and sophisticated acidity. This wine has lovely lenghth and definition with a lingering finish and will blosssom with time. Cellaring potential 10 years.
