The blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Semillon is harvested in the cool of the night and fermented at low temperature in stainless steel to maintain freshness, acidity, and aromatics. Pale straw yellow in appearance with aromatics, floral notes of lilies and white flowers, and white peach, green pineapple and lychee. Round and balanced with excellent freshness and crispness on the finish. Brilliant on its own as an aperitif, or with fish, oysters, and white meats.
Clairault Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
A lovely blend - citrus blossom aromas and tropical fruits, with a crisp and zingy finish.
Capel Vale Debut Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
This attractive blend displays lively aromas of freshly cut grass, grapefruit, passionfruit and gooseberries. The primary fruit complexity on the mid palate maintains interest from start to finish.
Château Cos D'Estournel Blanc Saint-Estèphe
A blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon from Chateau Cos d''Estournel, the landmark producer from Medoc. Sourced from their vineyards in the south of St-Estephe, this detailed and gloriously textured white wine displays the complexities requisite of cellarable Bordeaux blanc wines. The wine is drinkable immediately, but will also reward those considering some mellowing and honeyed complexity that comes with cellaring.
Chateau dYquem 1er Cru Superieur Sauternes Sauvignon Blanc Semillion
Intense aromas of crème brûlée, dried pineapple, and botrytis-kissed apricot fill the senses, accented by a hint of vanilla and blossom. The taste is profoundly rich and full-bodied, yet exquisitely fresh, delivering layers of honeyed pear, sweet spices, and a mineral complexity that extends into a seemingly endless, harmonious finish.
Hubert de Bouard Sauvignon Blanc
Starting with the 2016 vintage, Hubert de Boüard-de-Laforêt, winegrower since 1956, co-owner of Château Angelus - Saint-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé A, Oenologist consultant in more than 80 properties around the world, is producing a range of varietals grown on his own plots and labelled under his own name.

Barrel-ageing - 1/3 acacia 2/3 French oak
Château Mouton Rothschild Pauillac
Château Mouton Rothschild is the work of one man, the legendary Baron Philippe, who is solely responsible for this giant of Bordeaux. Taking charge in 1923 until his death in 1988, he created something the world will always be in debt for. He also started the tradition of getting an artist to design a label for every vintage, a tradition that continues to this day. In 2009, the wine almost transcends perfection. A quite low alcohol percentage given the ripeness of the fruit, the bouquet is reminiscent of cigar box and graphite with violets and cassis playing a part. The palate is both restrained and concentrated, a impressive result indeed. The structure of the wine is hidden somewhat by the exuberant fruit, yet it is that structure that will see this extraordinary wine cellar for the good part of half a century!
Chateau Clos Haut-Peyraguey Sauternes
Few places seem to posses the divinely ordained right to produce Bordeaux’s other iconic export, Sauternes, quite like Clos Haut-Peyaguey. Across 12 hectares of plateau-topping Premier Cru Classé vineyard, Semillon (and a smidge of Sauvignon) grapes patiently wait out summer for the noble rot to set in. We’re talking about botrytis, of course. Once it does, the sweetest grapes are handpicked for vinification before being sent for a French oak siesta. The result is one of the world’s most revered sweet white wines. Unctuous and syrypy; floral and fruity; jammy and spicy: trés magnifique!
Margan Semillon
An outstanding Hunter Semillon with citrus and lemongrass on the nose and a full rich middle palate with a long crisp finish. Enjoy it now while young or cellar for a more rounded complex style.
Pepper Tree Semillon Sauvignon Blanc
A multi-national blend of Hunter Valley and Marlborough, it is a classically expressive blend combining the tropical high notes of Sauvignon Blanc with the wonderful length and definition of Semillon. A vibrant and lively well balanced palate with a long and crisp finish.
