Grosset Semillon Sauvignon Blanc
The Grosset Semillon Sauvignon Blanc is a classic blend that, with its vibrant fruit flavours and trademark dry finish, is a very appealing accompaniment to a range of foods.
Grosset Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2010
This is the nineteenth vintage of the unique Grosset blend of estate grown Clare Valley semillon (60%) and Adelaide Hills sauvignon blanc (40%). It continues to be regarded by critics as the best, or among the best, expressions of the style produced in this country. Grosset felt that 2008 was the best vintage yet. He hadn’t expected the next two vintages of the wine.
The 2010 Grosset Semillon Sauvignon Blanc is still a touch reserved because of its tightness and extreme youth but has delightful nectarine and tangerine perfumes, a vibrant palate with fresh, pristine and intense cool tropical flavours – guava, nectarine, grapefruit, lime – held together by a tight, taut structure that zings, zips and powers ahead. As with previous vintages, it builds in the glass. There’s intensity, finesse and marvellous line and length leading to tangy natural acidity that cleanses and refreshes.
Cellaring Guide: Up to 5 years, more a ‘drink-now’ style of wine.
