Brash Higgins, R/SM, Riesling Semillon 2021
DESCRIPTION
Unusual bedmates make for a pretty stellar wine. Take the mineral, flinty vibes of a Riesling and add them to the lemony flesh of a Semillon, and voilà! The bouquet is filled to the brim with notes of lemon zet, moss, peach kernel and tea rose. On the palate, sea spray, fresh lime and juicy white peaches burst with mouthwatering abundance. The finish is overwhelmingly mineral, combining crushed stone, iodine, alkali and salts. A true coastal white, this is perfect for summer drinking. Enjoy this baby with a seafood platter - and especially fresh oysters!
REGION
McLaren Vale
Australia
The McLaren Vale wine region, located just south of Adelaide, is very highly regarded throughout both Australia and the world. Shiraz leads the region's list of award-winning wines, making McLaren Vale a favorite location to grow this grape. Cabernet Sauvignon is another prominent grape variety, along with Grenache and Mourvedre which, together with Shiraz, make up some of the most acclaimed GSM blends here. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominate McLaren Vale's white grape varieties, with a plethora of other regional and international specialties such as Merlot, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Viognier also making their mark.
What doesn't resemble each other ends up blending well together. This blend brings complexity and freshness. Citrus notes with beautiful minerality. An original wine for aperitifs.
