Winery Review: "A wildly aromatic blend of Verdelho, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay and Semillon. The fruit is sourced from McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills and Langhorne Creek, fermented in stainless steel and bottled fresh and young for immediate enjoyment. It's a lush blend showing juicy, tropical flavors, exotic perfume and a refreshing, structured palate."
My Review: This wine was surprising, but I didn't really like it. The nose was oddly "red" with a lot of dirt, cigar box, leather, and gasoline scents. Then the taste had some of the dirt, but a lot of mineral notes and a heck of a lot of alcohol. 13.5% for a white is beyond me. All that alcohol brought the heat and the firm tannins couldn't remedy it.
