The grapes

Sauvignon Blanc

Best known in Loire Valley, Marlborough, Bordeaux

Zesty, aromatic and refreshing. Grapefruit, gooseberry, cut grass and passion fruit, with crisp acidity. Mineral and restrained in Sancerre and the Loire, punchy and tropical in Marlborough, and blended with Sémillon in Bordeaux.

Sémillon

Best known in Bordeaux, Hunter Valley

A rich white grape with a waxy texture. Lemon, honey and lanolin, gaining toasty complexity with age. It is key to sweet Sauternes and dry white Bordeaux, and in the Hunter Valley makes light, lemony whites that age remarkably well.

Where it's from

Western Cape

South Africa

South Africa's wine heartland, encompassing everything from the cool coastal valleys to the warmer inland sites. Extraordinarily diverse in climate and soil: a single appellation that contains multitudes — from delicate Elgin Pinot to muscular Swartland reds.
