Winemaker's Notes
|
| Delicate aromas of citrus blossom and freshly cut herbs. It has pure-fruit impact, crisp acidity and bright quenching flavours of lime and lemon, finishing with a sense of savouriness. Refined, succulent, fresh and clean, it will reward immediate consumption. |

| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Pemberton, located in Western Australia, is another of the country’s up-and-coming cool-climate zones situated about 200 miles south of Perth. Fruit expressiveness, consequently, is intense and pure. In this wine, a medium-bodied dry white wine with a pale greenish yellow color, aromas of tropical fruit—star fruit or carambola—announce the presence of Sauvignon Blanc, which constitutes 50% of the blend along with Semillon (45%) and Chardonnay (5%). Fresh cut herbs, lime and lemon make a refreshing palate impression, while good acidity keeps the flavors crisp and lively through the long finish. Gentle alcohol, 12%. A portioni of each grape type spent some time in oak, but the fruit comes booming through. This is not a keeper wine, but one to be enjoyed young at cool temperatures, about 55ºF/13ºF. Serve with seafood: crab cakes, poached, chilled scallops; shrimp salad or steamed mussels with lemon grass, baked mild fish with cream and fresh herbs; also cocktail potatoes stuffed with cream cheese and fresh herbs; goat cheese.
