Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc Semillon Blend
”cape mentelle takes a minimal approach towards this classic margaret river blend. The aim is to preserve as much fruit intensity and regional character as possible whilst providing a full flavoured distinctive white wine. The style accentuates the fresh fruit characters of both varieties with the added complexity and palate weight offered by a small portion of barrel fermentation. Tasting notes appearance: pale straw with green hues. Nose: delicate and lifted aromas of citrus blossum lime honeydew melon blackcurrant and a hint of chalk dust. Palate: juicy clean and fresh with pithy acidity and mineral character balanced by rich fruit flavours of limes passionfruit and pink grapefruit. The palate is bright elegant well balanced with a creamy texture and a long finish. Vineyard: the majority of the fruit came from the cooler southern half of the region including our crossroads and chapman vineyards. The typical soils of these vineyards are geologically ancient free draini
