2017 Rocky Road Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

On the nose honeydew melon, lime zest and fresh cut grass notes are balanced by tropical aromas of lychee and guava.

Palate

Cask and barrel fermentation followed by maturation on fine lees provide texture and creaminess to this wine and a light flinty complexity. The palate abounds with generous loquat fruit and passionfruit, whilst the fresh, natural acidity of the vintage makes for a bright and mineral finish. A full flavoured, balanced and complex interpretation of a Margaret River stalwart.

Winemaking

The fruit was picked in the cool hours of the night, whole berry pressed and transferred to a combination of stainless steel tanks and large wood casks for extra texture and aromatic complexity. After fermentation the wine was left on fine lees until Spring.
