2021 Ivory Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

colour

Very pale in colour with brilliant green hues.

aroma

An expressive and vibrant nose exhibiting aromas of lemon blossom and passionfruit.

palate

Intense, juicy lemon and lime flavours instantly fill the mouth. A fresh, crisp acidity provides balance and a lovely freshness, drawing the fruit flavours long on the palate.

cellaring

Best enjoyed in the first two years from vintage so as to capture the freshness and vibrancy of the wine.

winemaking

This wine comprises Semillon from the northern part of the region where it achieved full ripeness, and Sauvignon Blanc from the very southern part of Margaret River where the most exuberant fruit was found.

Royal Adelaide Wine Awards 2021

James Halliday Top 100 White Wines 2021

This wine would be my $15 steed for a joust with sauvignon blanc or sauvignon blanc blends from Marlborough and anywhere else on this side of the ditch, its tapestry of citrus and passionfruit challenging most contenders at prices soaring above $20.

James Halliday - 93 Points

Ray Jordan Top 100 Whites 2021

Has just crept up in price to this higher price category, but somehow still makes it as a fresh, crunchy, ready-to-drink blend. A squeeze of passionfruit pulp and a lift of citrus and there you have it — total enjoyment
