Discover our NEW Bayley & Sage Sauvignon Blanc Semillon Blend.
It hails from a single vineyard on the iconic Margaret River, one of Australia’s most celebrated wine districts. They pick the fruit during the cool hours of the night, and then the whole berries are pressed and transferred to a combination of stainless-steel tanks and large wooden casks. This allows for extra texture and aromatic complexity.
Virginia, our in-house Bayley & Sage sommelier, has offered up tasting notes and pairing recommendations. Everything can be found at Bayley & Sage!
TASTING NOTES
It’s light in body, with a high acidity. The wine features bright flavours – green apple, elderflower, grapefruit, citrus, orange blossom, fresh herbs (rosemary and oregano), green bell pepper, asparagus and grass. It has a delicacy to it, with a beautiful mineral aftertaste. It’s quite complex in fruits, flowers and veg. There is a nice persistency on the palate and it’s very clean, I could feel all of the flavours one after the other.
