Bordeaux White Blends from Barossa Valley, Australia: St. Hallett Poachers Blend 2007


The Poacher's Blend is a classic Australian medium dry white made for immediate enjoyment.

Blended from Chenin Blanc, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes picked in the cool of night it is a crisp, clean wine that is an easy drinking delight. Full flavored with lifted tropical, lime and citrus flavors St. Hallett has created this wine to marry with the freshwater crustaceans and fish that are regularly "poached" from the creeks and waterways of landowners in the country and believed to be a legitimate, heritage pastime in Australia.

Alternately as an aperitif, or with a variety of fish and seafoods the Poacher's Blend is a bright enticing mouthful of Barossa flavor.
