WINE DESCRIPTION

Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc - Sémillon is a refreshing and elegant white wine produced by Cape Mentelle, a renowned winery located in the Margaret River region of Western Australia. This wine is a blend of two classic grape varieties, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, which are grown in the winery's vineyards that benefit from the region's maritime climate and gravelly soils. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's natural freshness and fruitiness. The resulting wine is a perfect balance of citrus and tropical fruit flavors, with a crisp acidity and a long, clean finish. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with seafood, salads, and light dishes, and is perfect for any occasion.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc - Sémillon is a vibrant and zesty white with a refreshing nose of citrus, grapefruit and lemon zest. On the palate, it is crisp and light-bodied with a juicy acidity and a minerally finish.Notes of white peach, honeydew melon, and passion fruit make for a complex and flavorful experience. An excellent choice for a summer afternoon.
