2009 ROCKFIELD ESTATE SEMILLON SAUVIGNON BLANC                                                                                                   

ALC/VOL: 12.5%         RESIDUAL SUGAR: Dry

WINEMAKING

The semillon fruit was picked in two parcels to ensure a balance of herbal and fruit characters, whilst the sauvignon blanc component was picked at an optimal ripeness to impart a combination of tropical and gooseberry flavours. Winemaking proceeded in two batches for each variety with partial barrel fermentation.  Excellent varietal and regional Margaret River characters feature in this wine. The blend is 52% Semillon to 48% Sauvignon Blanc.

TASTING NOTE

This vibrant wine shows gooseberry, guava, lime and nettle aromas with a long grapefruit palate and finish. Complexity is enhanced by partial barrel fermentation.

 
FOOD

Enjoy with white meats, warm salads and bbq seafood.
