Product Notes

Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc - Semillon wine is a vibrant and lively Australian blend from Margaret River, Western Australia. This impressive wine effortlessly marries the tropical flavours of Sauvignon Blanc with the crisp citrus notes of Semillon. Displaying a lovely straw-like hue, it offers an invigorating aromatic profile of lemon zest, passionfruit and freshly cut grass. On the palate, a medley of tart citrus flavours is balanced by hints of ripe melon and a soft ever-so-subtle hint of oak. With lively acidity and a refreshing finish, it pairs beautifully with seafood or a simple goat cheese salad.

Tasting Notes

APPEARANCE - A bright pale straw colour with brilliant green edges. NOSE - This wine displays aromas of green apple skin, lifted orange blossom and green papaya, with hints of passionfruit, white peach and nectarine. There are notes of rose petal and honeysuckle, with subtle honeydew melon and grapefruit elements. PALATE - On the palate intense flavours of ripe apple, juicy lemon, and lemon curd tart provide good weight and length with a creamy texture showing ample width. This well-framed wine displays hints of ginger and honey, plus honeydew melon notes with a green line of refreshing acidity running the length of the palate.
