Cape Mentelle Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc 2016

The Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon blend is a fine and elegant white wine, with the aromatics and finesse that reminds one of a Right Bank Bordeaux Blanc, but with the fruit that only Australia can bring.

Since 1970, the iconic Western Australian estate, Cape Mentelle, has taken no shortcuts in the pursuit of excellence. They have old vines here, rooted in mineral, gravelly soil. There is never a question of ripeness with plenty of that Southern Hemisphere sun. But when the growing season is long, ripeness is tempered by cooling breezes from the Indian and Pacific oceans. The end result is concentrated wines with great aromatic complexity and length.
