Rosily Estate Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2025

A traditional West Aussie Sem Savvy blend, but there is a dollop of Muscadelle as well, a la Sauternes, though we have not travelled down that sweet road here. 20% of the wine spends two months maturing in new French oak. The colour is a shimmering lemon. The wine is beautifully fresh, elegant and balanced. Very much a cut above the usual ‘classic dry whites’ with notes of freshly cut flowers, gentle lemon, grapefruit pith, beeswax and white jasmine, with just a whiff of grassy hints. The balance really is immaculate, the texture seductive and the palate seamless. A fine line of acidity and very good length tie this most attractive package together. Will go for another eight to ten years, if you must.
