Routinely one of the great sauvignon blends of the region, and 2021 is no exception. This is intensely concentrated in the mouth; finger lime, banana, guava, red apples, pink grapefruit, peach ... the parade marches on. This feels marginally more tropical and opulent than years gone by; no bad thing. The 2021 seems built on pleasure. Suffice to say, another excellent release.

I did a vertical tasting of this wine and discovered that my cellaring dates were way off the mark. It ages a lot more than I thought. So, here's the deal- drink it now while its still fresh and delicious, but hold some back for at least 10 years when a glorious rich and complex wine awaits

Mike Pertikin produced the first Semillon Sauvignon Blanc in Margaret River in 1979 when he was making wine for Kevin and Di Cullen. That wine was labelled Semillon Sauvignon Blanc and sold as such. Dr Peterkin never claimed any originality for the idea, he simply borrowed it from the French. What he did do was create a new style which emphasized aroma, freshness and fruit character. He believes that this was the first Semillon Sauvignon Blanc produced in Australia.
