2016 Howard Park Miamup Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, Margaret River

The silvery, green new wine colour implies vitality and youth. Primary fruit aromas of fresh and lightly poached citrus are gently spiced with vanilla bean and perfumed with lemon myrtle and black currant. The palate’s meld of many fruit flavours is enriched with a lemon curd richness and textured with a lime zest and chalk like minerality to finish. Drink it nor or over next 2 years with Poached salmon drizzled with a caper and lemon.

95 points – James Halliday

A blend of 87% sauvignon Blanc and 13% Semillon that was fermented  in a combination of both stainless steel and oak, this has some ripe fresh tropical fruit notes that are balanced by fine thread of acidity that runs through a wine that is simultaneously vibrant, fresh, textured and long. $28/13%/2021
