2023 Rocky Road by McHenry Hohnen Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, Margaret River

This 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon blend is quite classic but with an injection of class from the team at McHenry Hohnen. It offers up appealing aromas of melon and guava with touches of green herbs and hay, a hint of barrel also on display. Juicy and bright, there is impressive intensity of citrus flavour, well-proportioned old oak providing gentle grip and length to finish.

78% sauvignon blanc, 22% semillon.

Sourced entirely from the certified biodynamic Calgardup Vineyard. Some skin contact prior to whole-berry pressing, fermentation in both stainless steel and large oak casks. Matured on fine lees.

On the nose pungent aromatics of guava, lime zest and honeydew are balanced by cask fermentation elements providing layers of complexity. Extended maturation on fine lees gives texture and creaminess to the palate whilst the fresh, natural acidity of the vintage makes for a bright and mineral finish. A full flavoured, balanced, and complex interpretation of a Margaret River stalwart.
