Semillon Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2005

1st Ever Rosiliy Vineyard Reserve Wine

The style of the reserve is vastly and deliberately different to that of our traditional Semillon / Sauvignon Blanc. The objective with this blend was to layer the varietal characters that Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc produce with the richness and complexity derived from French oak maturation.
