Details
Semillon is more of a co-host grape in Margaret River, so often paired up with Sauvignon Blanc. But here, Semillon gets its own show, and it's a really interesting wine. Matured in oak barrels and clay vessels, this thoughtful white is medium-bodied, tangy and taut with a creamy edge and all sorts of lightly herbal and creamy contrasts.

Talk about contrasts. As you drive down Caves Road in Margaret River, on one side of the road, you pass the cheesy fun of the Yallingup farm and mini golf (with a full 18 holes!), and on the other, the engrossing biodiverse beauty of the Windows Estate. As custodians of this property, Chris Davies and his wife Jo believe this unique place isn't just a vineyard, it's a living, breathing organism. Two natural springs rise on the property, feeding five different plots and three completely different soil types. It's a grapegrowing kaleidoscope, farmed organically with minimal additions, no irrigation, and everything done by hand (right down to whipper snippering the weeds rather than using sprays). And the wines? Well, they're just as considered, with moderation, savouriness, and the sort of detail that you would normally see in much fancier wines from much more far-flung places. The only challenge is about volume. With just 9 hectares of vines, the Windows Estate releases are among the most sought-after 'wines you'll never know about' in the country. We're stoked to have some at GPD finally!

Pairing guide
The 2022 Petit Lot Semillon is bright, taut, and bursting with citrus, lemongrass, and a whisper of lanolin. It loves zesty, herbaceous, and slightly oily dishes—think Thai fish cakes, grilled sardines, or a crunchy green papaya salad. It’s also a dream with goat cheese tarts, asparagus risotto, or classic fish and chips. This wine’s acidity cuts through fat like a laser, while its subtle savoury edge plays well with aromatic herbs. It's fresh, clean, and made for sunny lunches or seafood spreads by the coast. Serve chilled, and let the crisp vibes flow.
