Product Notes

From the acclaimed Ghost Corner vineyard emerges The Bowline, a stellar blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. This gold-tinted wine swirls with tropical passionfruit, white peach, and lime zest aromas, well-matched by intriguing, flinty undertones. On the palate, a delightfully crisp acidity is harmonised with a lush, full-bodied sweetness, showing remarkable complexity and depth. Despite its fruit-forward style, there's a distinct minerality that pays homage to the vineyard's unique terroir. Elegant and persistent, the finish is impressively long. The Bowline is a sublime accompaniment to seafood dishes or enjoyed alone for a leisurely encounter.

Tasting Notes

Sailors call the bowline the ‘king of knots’- a knot that symbolises union, completion and eternal devotion. This blend ‘ties the knot’ between Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Ripe asparagus notes from the Sauvignon Blanc complements the green fig elements from the Semillon. A complex wine with well-balanced oak and a refreshing, smooth finish.
