Semillon Sauvignon Blanc
| McHenry Hohnen's 2011 Semillion Sauvignon Blanc is a 60/40 blend and, for the first time, is made entirely from the family's own vineyards. Semillon came from the in-laws on the east side of Margaret River town, sauvignon blanc from the Burnside vineyard and a little bit of both varieties from the Calgardup Brook vineyard. This gave an eclectic mixture of fruit that shows firmly in the bottle. In another first, 5% of each variety was put into French oak barrels for a natural yeast fermentation. | |

| Tasting note |
This is a succulent and delicious wine, with attractive tropical aromas of passionfruit and lychee held in check by the delicate notes of blossom nectar. The palate is fleshy, with flavours of apple, lemon zest and dried pear. It finishes firm and fresh with lingering yellow citrus.

Sarah Ahmed, www.thewinedetective.co.uk, 19 Sep 2012Classic Margaret River, with a ripe herbaceous and zesty lemon nose and palate. Fresh, tight acidity makes for a mouthwatering, zingy, flavoursome wine. So much more interesting than straight Sauvignon. 92 points, James Halliday, January 2012A big personality wine, with pungent cut grass, gooseberry and smoky tomato on the bouquet; the palate is rich for the style, with excellent concentration and even a bit of grip; serious and deeply fruited. |
