Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Pale quartz with straw hue. This crisp white wine exhibits zesty fresh lemon rind and citrus fruits balanced with passionfruit and ripe peach. The palate delivers vibrant melon and tropical fruit flavours of Sauvignon Blanc and the citrus notes of the Semillon provide an extremely delightful depth of flavour, leading to a clean crisp finish.
Vineyard Notes
In 1985 Bob and Maryanne McLeish planted out 1.75ha of Semillon named block 2 and block 4. The vineyard is hand harvest, fruit is sorted and allocated based on quality.
The Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from Orange NSW, where the vines enjoy some two degrees cooler daytime temperatures and even cooler nights than the Vale itself. The Sauvignon Blanc is the only varietal sourced from outside of the Hunter Valley.
Production Notes
Each varietal is fermented to dryness separately before being blended.
The blend is Semillon 50% and Sauvignon Blanc 50%
Food Pairing Notes
Chicken and goats cheese salad
