McHenry Hohnen, Rocky Road, Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2023
DESCRIPTION
Barrel fermentation, followed by maturation on fine lees, gives this wine texture and smoothness, as well as a slight flinty complexity. On the nose, notes of honeydew melon, fresh-cut grass and lime zest are balanced by tropical aromas of lychee and guava. The palate is bursting with medlar and passion fruit, while the fresh, natural acidity of the vintage allows for a bright, mineral finish. This Sauvignon/Semillon blend is perfect for a grapefruit and prawn salad, a seafood platter, or spicy Indian and Thaï dishes.
REGION
Margaret River
Australia
Margaret River, in the southwest of Australia, is one of the country's wine jewels. Known for its elegant Chardonnays with intense citrus notes and its refined Cabernet Sauvignons, it enjoys a temperate maritime climate close to that of Bordeaux. This unique terroir gives wines in a more European style, combining freshness, precision and ageing potential.
Today, the region also wins people over with expressive blends and small, precise cuvées.
