CAPE MENTELLE - Sauvignon Semillon 2008 75cl Bottle

Heady aromas of passionfruit, orange blossom, ripe lemons and notes of tarragon mingle with a waft of vanilla derived from barrel fermentation. The palate is creamy and textural, with vibrant, flamboyant citrus flavours that finish crisp and clean, with great length and focus. Half of the grapes are sourced from estate vineyards and the other half from contract growers in the Margaret River region. Gravel laterite soils predominate in most of the best vineyards with some sandy loam soils in others. A range of canopy management strategies are employed, all with the objective of maximising sunlight into the fruiting zone. The most favoured technique is vertical shoot positioning with leaf removal which improves sunlight exposure, enhancing flavour development and providing a balanced leaf to fruit ratio for even ripening. Irrigation is used judiciously to maintain balanced vine growth and a steady rate of ripening.
