Description
Tasting Notes
This Saxenburg Private Collection Sauvignon Blanc – Semillon Blend 2021 has a wonderful quartz-like minerality on the nose and opens to aromas of white peach, litchi, gooseberry, and lemongrass. The palate, while full and textured, is balanced by a lingering acidity.
Food Pairing
It goes well with salads, lighter summer dishes and seafood.
Winemaker’s Comments
Made in limited quantities, this wine is meant to push the boundaries a bit, while still staying true to Saxenburg. This wine has a larger percentage of Semillon than what is typical for these types of blends, but the freshness and minerality of the Sauvignon Blanc beautifully balance the richness of the Semillon. With 25% of the wine having completed malolactic fermentation and having spent 10 months in barrel, on lees, this wine is very much about texture and mouthfeel.
