Winemaker Notes
An inviting and incredibly buoyant palate bursts with energy and fruit concentration. A myriad of lime zest, citrus, lemon sherbet and lychees offer direction, and combined with laced acidity, create the corridor with gentle layers on the mid-palate. The lingering finish is encased with delicate textures.

Very minerally and aromatic, with candied lemon zest, guavas and gun smoke on the nose. The palate is light- to medium-bodied with electric acidity, underlying power and notes of fresh pineapple, lemon peel and river stones. Fresh and energetic.
Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.
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.
