Description

The Voyager Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is a zesty, organically grown take on the Margaret River classic - built for easy, year-round enjoyment.

Sourced from gravelly loam soils across a handful of estate-grown blocks, the blend is 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Semillon, with a small portion of the Semillon fermented in old French oak. That extra touch brings savoury depth to what is otherwise a bright, lemony, stone-fruited white full of rosemary, flint and citrus zip.

Chief winemaker Tim Shand has brought texture and structure into focus here without compromising freshness. It’s got lift, mineral crunch and a clean, lemon thyme finish - just the thing for a zingy Thai prawn salad or chargrilled veg.

Classic style, modern precision, and great drinking now.

"You can’t go wrong with this blend from this producer. It hums with juicy fruit, all tropical and citrusy, plus loads of fresh herbs, too. Expect lime zest, passionfruit pith, basil with honeydew melon, starfruit and plenty of refreshing acidity."
- Jane Faulkner (Halliday Wine Companion)
