2021 'Valley's End' Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
A vibrant showing of tropical fruits, including ripe passionfruit and lychee. Even though the palate is bursting with sweet flavours, the tight line of acidity keeps everything in check, and it finishes deliciously dry with hints of minerality.
The 2021 Valley’s End shows its sense of place in a truly delicious manner. Well suited to any seafood, Thai style salt and pepper squid matches exceptionally well.

Winemaker's Note:
Good winter rain allowed soil profiles to be full, giving the vines a great start to the growing season. A remarkably cool summer followed, providing perfect conditions for healthy vines to produce fruit with high natural acidity and concentrated flavours. One of the better vintages of the last decade.
Our Sauvignon Blanc tends to be a little more restrained that other regions, so the Semillon contributes more than its share would imply. If it were not for the dominance of Riesling; Semillon could well have been the region’s best white variety. We’ve been making this blend since the late 80’s, and it continues to prove it is worthy of its inclusion.Â
