Semillon from Margaret River, Australia: Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2008


Pale straw with hints of green. Aromas of zesty lime and pawpaw fruits, fresh snowpeas and fragrant citrus blossom are overlayed with hints of blackcurrant. The foreground features lively lemon and lime zest, with crunchy sugar snap pea and wheat grass. Generous texture and fruit weight is well balanced by long and even citrus acidity.

Pair with salt and pepper tofu with shiitake broth. Drink young and fresh.
