This wine strikes a remarkable balance, with the Semillon’s suppleness imparting an almost oily texture, though not heavy. The Sauvignon Blanc contributes to a lean and firm structure rather than distinct varietal flavour, featuring undertones of lemon zest, hints of honey, pears, and white flowers. While it may lack some freshness, the finish is memorable, marked by a slight and intriguing bitterness reminiscent of orange zest.
