"The vineyards providing the fruit for this blend were planted in 1987 for the Sauvignon Blanc and 1997 for the Semillon. There is a small percentage of the wine which has been fermented in French oak barrels in order to enhance the texture and complexity of the wine. A shining pale green/lemon hue here. There is a soft tropical nose with spices, herbs, peaches, passionfruit and mango. The extra time here has allowed the wine to soften and come together. A gentle texture here, but with a fine line of acidity. Guava notes emerge on the palate. A wine of medium length for enjoying over the next year or two."

"Vibrant thrust and acidity. Needed 6 months to settle down when tasted in Sept '19, then its longer-term prospects will have become evident. Alc 12%"

A complex spicy herbaceous nose with a lovely drive of lemon-like varietal fruit flavours just starting to develop honeyed toasty notes.

Dear UMAMU family,

We have recently released this Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc Semillon (Margaret River SBS), harvested in 2019.

Our Sauvignon Blanc parcel was planted in 1987, while our Semillon parcel was planted in 1997. Both vine canopies are well managed in order to improve light interception and hence development of flavours during ripening, while reducing any microclimate humidity. 

The Sauvignon Blanc parcel is located at 130 metres above sea level – one of the highest in the Margaret River wine region. A portion of this homegrown Australian SBS wine was fermented in French oak barrels to provide some background complexities and textures. 

Cheers!
