Description

Winemaker Notes:
Lifted aromas of sweet citrus fruit mingle with tropical notes of banana, passionfruit, and guava. A vibrant blend with fresh, crunchy flavors of tropical and citrus fruits. A small component of barrel fermentation and some lees contact offer additional complexity and texture to the palate, finishing with a clean, crisp natural acidity. p>Great as an aperitif. Enjoy with fresh goat's cheese, light crustacean or fish entrées.

Critical Acclaim: 91 Wine Enthusiast
No other wine quite compares to a Margaret River SBS and Voyager?s version perfectly encapsulates this unique style. A 68% and 32% blend, this wine is aromatic and vegetal without veering into canned string-bean territory. Gentle notes of tomato leaf and green bell pepper walk alongside tropical and stone fruits, wet stone minerality, and slightly reductive white-spice and salt characters. On the palate, the Semillon gets its chance to shine, chalky in texture yet prickly from the acidity. If you?ve never tried an Aussie SBS, this is the perfect place to start.
