Vintage Cellars. 2008 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc



General: Vintage Cellars is a chain of "fine wine" stores. Unusually for a chain, they have enthusiastic staff and give the impression of your local, upmarket wine store. Under their label they release a range of typical quality wines which I presume is for easy drinking.

Varieties: Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc

Region: Margaret River, WA

Alcohol: 12.3%

Bouquet: Passionfruit is central, hints of other tropical fruit

Flavour: A good crisp, dry wine with citrus flavours, more towards lemon than grapefruit. "Zesty"

Points: 82

Notes: A solid, straightforward good drinking wine. My brother found it too dry but that's a matter of taste. Undiscounted it is $14.00 (210 Kc) which is fine but there is a lot of choice in this range. Bought with a 30% discount for a six bottle buy.
