Grace Farm Sauv Blanc Semillon 2015

Still more satisfaction in Margaret River Sauv Sem styles than straight Sauv. Yet the single varietal wine sells more. Ugh..

Green straw coloured, this is slightly muted to start before a little Sauv herb kicks in. Palate varies between crunchy green citrus and riper passionfruit before slightly gritty, sharper acidity.

This has flow, if not quite perfectly together – acid hasn’t integrated yet. Still entirely drinkable and varietal (and refreshing), with some welcome textural breadth (I’m guessing a little barrel work here to help with that). Best drinking: 2016-2017. 17/20, 90/100. 13%, $25.
