Parterre Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2022
A lovely pale straw-green colour in the glass. Cumquat, Green Pineapple, Lemon Thyme, Lemon Curd and Pastry on the nose. A lovely lemon-lime citrus freshness in the mouth and a hint of Thyme. The creamy vanilla texture from extended barrel maturation gives the wine a long chalky textural finish to soften the acidity a touch. Quite salivating.
A wine to cellar for the long term.
Reviews
"A bright, gently flinty and nutty white showing complex notes of flint, grapefruit, hazelnuts and lemongrass on the nose. Medium-bodied, compact and full of flavor and tension."

"Very light straw-yellow hue; creamy yeast lees and dried-herb aromas, plus a gentle spicy/nutty/toasty barrel influence. The wine is intense and crisply dry, refreshing to finish and there's a richness and texture that owes something to barrel work. A smart wine that would repay some cellar time."
