Wine By Nine

White Wine by Cape Mentelle from Margaret River, Australia. Cape Mentelle takes a minimalist approach toward this classic Margaret River blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. The aim is to preserve as much fruit intensity and regional character as possible, while also providing a full flavored distinctive white wine. The style accentuates the fresh fruit characters of both varieties with the added complexity and palate weight offered by a small portion of barrel fermentation. Appearance: Pale straw with green hues. Nose: Aromas of citrus blossom and lemon myrtle with hints of snowpea, gun smoke and passionfruit. Palate: The fruit flavors are vibrant and fresh, with white peach, lychee and fresh lemongrass. The middle palate is juicy with a creamy texture and a crisp, lively finish. Food pairing: Seafood platter with natural oysters, crisp baked sardines, tempura prawns and calamari served with lemon herb a?oli.
