About This Wine

The Suckfizzle Sauvignon Blanc Semillon has long been a benchmark for the region, showing a distinctive cool-climate profile. The 2022 vintage continues this legacy with impressive precision and texture, benefiting from meticulous oak fermentation and maturation.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of lemongrass, tatami mat, straw, green apple, celery, brine, and crushed rocks lead into a palate that carries all of these elements, wrapped in subtle nutmeg and clove oak spice. The wine has a firm phenolic backbone and a layered mouthfeel, supported by vibrant acidity. Complex and refined, it promises excellent aging potential.
