Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon, Margaret River

Name: Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon, Margaret River
SKU: 20835
Price: 16.45 GBP

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 wine is aged on lees (ferment solids) for an additional four months to add texture and richness before bottling. This wine exudes fresh green lime juice, white nectarine and Granny Smith apple skin, overlaid with crisp cucumber aromas with hints of fresh cut lemongrass, passionfruit and Meyer lemon peel with bright bracing acidity up front, finishing with lemon and lime fruit.
