Driftwood Artifacts Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2024

From Margaret River, this was once known as a ‘classic dry white’ blend for those in the West. The category was largely washed away by the Kiwi Sauvalanche of recent years, but you can’t keep a good wine down and we are seeing more and more examples making a comeback, providing interesting and enjoyable drinking. The colour is a pale lemon, while the nose is very much redolent of lemons and limes, along with a hint of the tropical. This is an exuberant and generous style, with a minerally backing and crunchy acidity with focus and good length. This is an impressive example and hopefully we’ll see more and more of these. For drinking over the next four to six years.
