‘Best Value Buy’ The exact grape varieties aren’t disclosed but this Margaret River blend tastes like a worthy example of the local workhorse, semillon sauvignon blanc. Clean, ripe, tangyand nicely perfumed, it’s simple but intense and finishes cleanly.

WINESTATE GAVE THIS WINE FOUR STARS

May/June 2009 Winestate Magazine Very skillfully made wine with pretty orange blossom/floral fruitand perhaps a dash of oak? Has length and poise and is very polished.

PALATE
A balanced wine with nice structure and a full seamless palate. Melons and peaches combine with nice racy acid to produce a flavour sensation. A superb Margaret River classic with great weight and length to finish.

FOOD
Perfect with Whiting and Lemon Dill Sauce.

CELLARING
This style is intended to be enjoyed without delay to maximise its freshness, so less than 2 years bottle aging is suggested. Stored under a screw cap this wine will deliver that vibrancy that is the south of Margaret River.

VINTAGE NOTES
A combination of the three white varieties grown on the Chalice Bridge single vineyard, Chardonnay, Semillon & Sauvignon Blanc. Picked at night the fruit was crushed and skin contacted for 6 hrs at 10 degrees C and fermented in stainless steel. Wines were kept on fine lees and stirred to build mid palate. This wine was bottled 3 months after fermentation and stored under screw cap to capture and retain freshness. - Bob Cartwright (Consultant Winemaker)
