Moss Wood Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2016
This wine shows the benefits of this traditional blend because it combines fresh, crisp acidity of Sauvignon Blanc with the rich textural experience of Semillon. The result is complimentary flavours of lemon zest and gooseberry that linger over!
Winemaker Notes
Lively fruit aromas of sauvignon blanc - This variety is harvested early to maximise its potential in the Semillon blend. The fruit is destemmed into the press, in a similar fashion to the Moss Wood Semillon, drained and pressed and then settled in stainless steel tanks. It is then racked and fermented in stainless steel at 15°C. There is no lees stirring post-fermentation for the Sauvignon Blanc. It should retain its freshest, most lifted aromas of leaf, grass and lychee. The lively fruit aromas of sauvignon blanc - herbaceous and tropical notes like guava and loquat combine with semillon apple and fig characters, to create a medium to full body wine with fresh acidity, soft tannins and a clean finish.
