2015 Howard Park Sauvignon Blanc Semillon Miamup Western Australia

Description

Distributor’s Notes: The temperate maritime region of Margaret River stretches a north to south distance of 100kms, and is bound by oceans on three sides. Along this substantial stretch of land, subtle climatic differences exist over the five physiographic regions and fifteen diverse land form systems of the Leeuwin Naturaliste area. Such diversity of sites has produced an extensive array of varietal expressions in both Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. From this treasure trove of diversity and choice, the region’s signature blend has evolved. Each individual vineyard block that contributes to the Miamup Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is vinified separately. Most batches are cool fermented in stainless steel to maximize varietal character and fruit flavour. Special batches are hand picked, whole fruit pressed and fermented in oak to add complexity and texture. The wine is bottled in June of the vintage year, in time for a spring release.

Tasting Notes:
Sparkling lemon and lime hues in appearance with a poached citrus and marmalade, spiced with lemon verbena and vanilla pod aroma. The palate is ruby grapefruit, finger lime, custard apple, gooseberry and quince with lemon curd and citrus oil adding texture and richness.

Food Pairing:
Perfect alongside a Persian fetta, zucchini and mint tart.
