Winemaker Notes

A classic example of what this variety can achieve in a warm maritime climate.Made in an unwooded style to retain and enhance varietal fruit freshness. Staggeredharvesting of fruit from a combination of estate sites and trellising systems allowsexpression of a spectrum of aromas and flavours from sweet grassiness to punchyripe citrus in the finished wine. This complexity also provides exceptional structureand palate weight with considerable ageing potential. Cellaring for five or moreyears is rewarded with rich complex nut, straw and toast characters in harmony withripe lemon and sweet grassy nuances while still retaining a pleasantly surprisinglevel of freshness, vibrancy and length.

Sémillon has the power to create wines with considerable structure, depth and length that will improve for several decades. It is the perfect partner to the vivdly aromatic Sauvignon Blanc. Sémillon especially shines in the Bordeaux region of Sauternes, which produces some of the world’s greatest sweet wines. Somm Secret—Sémillon was so common in South Africa in the 1820s, covering 93% of the country’s vineyard area, it was simply referred to as Wyndruif, or “wine grape.”

Home to some of Australia’s most elegant and long-lived red and white wines, Margaret River is situated in the farthest reaches of Western Australia. Relatively warm and dry, the region is cooled by breezes from the Indian Ocean. Margaret River takes some inspiration from Bordeaux, producing top-quality Cabernet Sauvignons and Bordeaux Blends with firm structure, mouthwatering acidity, balanced alcohol and notes of herbs and spice. For white wines, refreshing blends of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon as well as complex, age-worthy Chardonnays are regional specialties.
