Appearance: pale straw. Aroma: Elder flowers, black currants and gooseberries with nettles and sweet herbs, yellow and pink citrus zest and just a dash of vanilla pod spice.

Drink: Now and over the next 2 years as the Semillon contribution allows this regional blend to blossom. The temperate maritime region that is Margaret River stretches a north south distance of 100kms. Vineyard: Several vineyard sites are included in the making of this blended wine. All the Sauvignon Blanc sites are located in the southern part of the region in order to capture strong varietal intensity and high natural acidity. The Semillon is more broadly sourced from the south and centre of the region to include the full spectrum of Semillon's varietal characteristics.It is important to indulge Semillon with soils of high natural moisture retention to ensure ripeness. The 2008 season: A dry and warm spring / summer and an autumn harvest period of continue warmth presented near perfect vintage conditions. The resulting white wines show an abundant array of varietal expressions which are both complex and pure. Subtle climatic changes and soil diversity along this substantial stretch of coastal land, allows for an extensive array of varietal expressions in both Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. It is the region's climatic ability to fully ripen Semillon that sets this regional blend apart. From this treasure trove of choice the region's signature blend has evolved.

Remarkably floral this Pinot Gris is very aromatic with hints of lovely autumn fruits. Delicious ripe quince and pears combined with a hint of peaches and cream derived from the malolactic influence. 100% Pinot Gris.

Bright, very pale lemon in colour, the 2010 Pinot Grigio/Chardonnay is clean and zesty, with a lemon/lime freshness offset by the freshly baked bread character of the Pinot Grigio and a touch of butter from the Chardonnay. Vivacious and crisp to the finish. 55% Pinot Grigio. 45% Chardonnay.
