Product Notes

Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc - Semillon is a refreshing, Western Australian white wine with a reputation forged on fresh, tropical vibrancy. This well-crafted fusion combines the crisp citrus notes of Sauvignon Blanc with the rounded mellow tones of Semillon, producing an incredibly balanced taste. The wine exhibits bright straw and lime hues, and the nose offers appetising scents of exotic fruits and herbs. The texture is smooth, the palate full and rich with a tantalisingly long finish. Ideal for summer gatherings, this delicate blend pairs perfectly with a range of seafood and salads. A pinnacle of New World sophistication.

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.
