Hay Shed Hill Block 1 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2023 Margaret River - 6 Bottles

TASTING NOTES:

Only the best ‘free run’ component of the juice was used resulting in the finest and brightest fruit expression with the least amount of phenolic impact. The juice was fermented in French oak barrels, no new oak was used so as to ensure that oak flavours and aromas were not dominant characters in the wine. The wine was matured in barrel for 8 months before clarification and bottling. Pale straw colour with fresh green tinges. The bouquet is fresh and clean with classic grassy elements typical of this region but with a lemony minerality distinctive to this block. The nose is more complex than most Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blends with an underlying toasty nuance. The palate is bright and fresh with vibrant citric, gooseberry and lychee-like flavours, all at a level of intensity greater than expected. The oak is almost impossible to detect other than it adds a textural dimension to what is normally a simple fresh and lively wine style. The Block 1 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc has an amazing palate extension with the flavour lingering to a clean ultra dry finish.
