The blend began in Bordeaux, where Semillon-led whites have always been made to age, and in Australia its home is Margaret River – yet most Australian SBS is made to be drunk within a year or two of vintage. We make ours the Bordeaux way, then hold bottles back so you can drink the blend at ten and twenty years old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Sauvignon Blanc was planted in 1987 and our Semillon in 1997, with the Sauvignon Blanc parcel at 130 metres above sea level – among the highest plantings in Margaret River. 2005 was our first vintage, and Charmaine, our principal, has made every vintage since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ===== BLOCKS B–H — BELOW THE PRODUCT GRID ===== --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSSB or SBS wine?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two acronyms are often used interchangeably, but they describe different blends.

Our 2005 is 65% Semillon and 35% Sauvignon Blanc, which makes it an SSB. Our 2016 and 2007 are both Sauvignon Blanc-led, which makes them SBS – the 2007 is 67% Sauvignon Blanc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the full explanation, read our guide to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.umamuestate.com\/blogs\/our-go-tos-for-balance-contentment\/what-difference-between-sbs-ssb-white-wine-grapes\"\u003ethe difference between SBS and SSB\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat age does to Semillon Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoung Semillon Sauvignon Blanc is about freshness – citrus, herbs, cut grass. Given a decade or two in bottle, the blend becomes golden, waxy, toasty and honeyed, and holds its acidity through the change. Neither version is better. They suit different occasions, and the aged one is much harder to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur 2005 shows what that looks like. At twenty years old it won a Silver Medal with 90 points at the 2025 Endeavour Group Margaret River Wine Show, judged against current releases.

It started to rain the day I opted to pick. We had to pause, and resumed a few days later. Didn't make that costly double harvest error again. The upside is that we ended up with two levels of ripeness and hence character in the fruit and a considerably more interesting wine for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Charmaine, Principal, UMAMU Estate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe varieties were vinified separately, with an aromatic yeast selected for the Sauvignon Blanc and a textural yeast for the Semillon.
