and the steep

The palate is finally detailed a generous core of powerful fruit is complemented by a velvet line of tannin

The tannins are a real hoot – so fine and chocolatey

the wines are always on lees and malolactic fermentation is partially completed (around 60-70% on average)

Picardy Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2023 cotes-de-provence-rose-aoc and the steepThis is a wonderful example of this classic WA blend. The cooler climes of Pemberton and this great vintage have combined to produce such vibrant high energy fruit. Beautifully balanced and presented blend of 85% sauvignon blanc and 15% semillon. Lip smacking flavours of citrus and guava with a crunchy tart pear edge on the finish. With all the hype about the pinots and chardonnays of Picardy this cracking wine sometimes slips by. It shouldnt.
