2021 Hillside Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

colour

Pale lemon.

aroma

Vibrant grassy and bell pepper aromas balanced with rich lime curd.

palate

This wine brims with a zippy acidity, sweet citrus fruits and herbaceous, grassy notes. This a refreshing wine with a long saline finish.

cellaring

This wine may be enjoyed on release but will find further complexity over the next two to three years.

vintage

The 2021 vintage featured a growing season with a warm, dry summer providing the perfect conditions for hallmark flavour intensity. Cool evenings ensured fruit retained natural acidity, producing wines that are expressive and beautifully balanced.

winemaking

The Sauvignon Blanc was sourced from Karridale and partially fermented in a combination of seasoned and new oak barrels, using only indigenous yeasts with no acid additions. The Semillon was sourced from the Yallingup Hills and fermented in neutral stainless-steel tanks to enhance aromatic freshness.

analysis

• Alcohol: 12.5%

Whiting fillets lightly pan-fried and served with fried capers and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion 2023

Texture, breadth, line, concentration, balance... all of it wrapped in a web of saline acid. Slam dunk.
