2023 Ivory Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

colour

Translucent straw with a brilliant lime green hue.

aroma

An expressive and vibrant nose with exuberant lemon drops, pea shoots and passionfruit pulp. 

palate

Intense, juicy lemon pith bursts onto the palate alongside fresh green herbs. A crunchy acidity provides balance and freshness, highlighting the grassy, tropical and citrus flavours on the finish.

cellaring

Best enjoyed within two years to capture the freshness and vibrancy of the wine.

vintage

We had a mild spring with adequate soil moisture, resulting in a slightly later season. A moderate summer led to ideal ripening conditions with little pressure in the vineyard and a lack of any major rain events during the ripening season. Consistently warm days and cool evenings made for great retention of acid within the grapes, whilst achieving optimal fruit expression.

winemaking

Semillon was sourced from the northern Margaret River where it achieved full ripeness imparting richness to the wine. The Sauvignon Blanc fruit was sourced from the southern-most part of Margaret River, where the most vibrant fruit is found, lending a linear acidity to the blend.

Winemaking techniques enhanced fruit purity through the use of neutral stainless-steel tanks and an aromatic yeast strain for fermentation.
