Wine of the Month

FEBRUARY 2024

THIS FEBRUARY, THE SPOTLIGHT IS ON CAPE MENTELLE SAUVIGNON BLANC SEMILLON



“Bright summer fruit flavours from the Sauvignon Blanc combine with generous texture from the Semillon - refreshing and generous.”

Cape Mentelle takes a non-interventionist approach towards this classic Margaret River blend allowing the region and varieties to speak with loud, clear voices, aiming to preserve fruit intensity and purity. The style accentuates the fresh, vibrant fruit characters of both varieties with the added complexity and palate weight offered through several months of aging on lees; the land and ocean vividly expressed.

APPEARANCE

A bright pale straw colour with brilliant green edges.

NOSE

This wine displays aromas of green apple skin, lifted orange blossom and green papaya, with hints of passionfruit, white peach and nectarine. There are notes of rose petal and honeysuckle, with subtle honeydew melon and grapefruit elements.

PALATE

On the palate intense flavours of ripe apple, juicy lemon, and lemon curd tart provide good weight and length with a creamy texture showing ample width. This well-framed wine displays hints of ginger and honey, plus honeydew melon notes with a green line of refreshing acidity running the length of the palate.

BLEND

Sauvignon Blanc 88%, Semillon 12%.

You won't be disappointed by this delicious Cape Mentelle favourite. Now pouring at Fitzy's Toowoomba.
