A Bordeaux Blend in probably the most premium site for it in Australia: Margaret River. However you “Aussiefy” the name: Sem -Sav…Sav-Sem….SBS… it’s a fresher style that Australia has nailed over its traditional home in France.
Howard Park, Miamup, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Margaret River, 2022
Pale lemon with green highlights. Punchy and aromatic Sauv Blanc notes of bramble leaf, gooseberry, fresh basil and green melon intertwine neatly with citrus driven Semillon: Lemongrass, lime pips and lemon verbena. Focused and uplifted while chalky textural structure underpins a zesty and driving palate. A balanced and nuanced release.
