Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2011
Cape Mentelle takes a minimal approach towards this classic Margaret River blend. The aim is to preserve as much fruit intensity and regional character as possible, whilst providing a full flavoured distinctive white wine. The style accentuates the fresh fruit characters of both varieties with the added complexity and palate weight offered by a small portion of barrel fermentation.
Appearance: Pale straw with lime green hues.
Nose: Punchy lifted aromatics of lemon blossom, blackcurrant and papaya with subtle hints of fresh thyme and cordite.
Palate: Medium to full flavoured with a fine texture. Limes, apples, lychee and honeydew melon characterise the fruit flavours which are framed by juicy acidity, providing great length of flavour.
Food Pairing: Freshly caught and grilled King George whiting served with a zesty tartare sauce.
Cellaring: Drink young and fresh.
