Wills Domain Mystic Spring Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2022

The fruit for this blend, the famous ‘classic dry white’ from the West, comes from various selected vineyards in the Margaret River region. While the focus is obviously on retaining freshness, there is also a nod to the complexity that these blends can achieve. This is a gleaming pale yellow. The fork in the road for these wines takes some to the exuberant, tropical realm while others follow the path to a leaner, perhaps greener style. Both are equally legitimate – it is simply a matter of personal preference. This wine has taken the road to a leaner style. We have hints of nettles, grassy touches, citrus and good minerality, but there are slight notes of the tropical here, which provide a lovely contrast. With a soft finish, decent length and vibrant acidity, this offers attractive drinking now and for the next two to three years.
