This delightful single vineyard SBS is dominated ever so slightly by the Sauvignon Blanc with plenty of passionfruit and blackcurrant notes before the Semillon takes over with some lemongrass and thin vein of acid.

Origin: Probably Bordeaux, in Eastern France. But now found most places. Mainly Grown In: Definitely Bordeaux, but also Margaret River and the Riverland. Key Facts: Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc are like two peas in a pod... a wine pod. They're like twins who shine individually, but put 'em together and they make a pretty fine pair. They have complementary fruit characteristics, and their acid structure (pretty intense in both cases!) also seems to match up. The fruit spectrum is moderately tropical, with grassy overtones and plenty of zing. Look out for kiwi fruit, green apple and a touch of herbal flavours. In France this blend is often lightly oaked, which certainly boosts the complexity of the wine, but in the new world the 'purer' version seems to be preferred. Fun Fact: Like goats’ cheese? Perfect. This is a classic to pair with a Sauv Sem! And if you like your greens too, it’s the perfect cheese to toss in the mix with this wine poured on the side.
