2025 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
Geographe, Western Australia
Intense aromatics, passionfruit, key lime, green apple and scented blossom.
Description
Barrel fermenting and maturing in oak enhances the aromatic profile of these two varieties, adding an intrinsic layer of texture and mouthfeel which provides depth and intrigue. Complex amalgam of lime zest and grapefruit with gentle nuances of French oak. Full-bodied blend, pithy citrus fruit and grilled nuts to the fore, textural and long, with a long, zesty finish.

- Vintage Notes
After a hot South Western Australia vintage in 2024, it has been great to experience a return to the more usual seasonal conditions of moderate day time temperatures and cooler relief at night. A true return to the long Indian summers which the South West of Western Australia is loved for. The season has looked well set up from the get go, with abundant winter rainfall (922mm) and a milder end to Spring into Summer. White varieties exhibited generous flavours at lower Baumes, whilst retaining a beautiful long line of ripe acidity, whilst reds have wonderful concentration, intensity and ripe tannin.
- Tasting Notes
Bright colour, green hues. Intense aromatics, passionfruit, key lime, green apple and scented blossom. A textural palate, river stones and Summer fruits, soft and fresh with minerality on the finish.
- Peak Drinking / Cellaring Potential
Will evolve over the next 4 to 6 years
