2022 Lenton Brae Semillon Sauvignon Blanc
One of the earliest examples of this now famous Margaret River blend and it is still one of the best. Oodles of punchy tropical fruit with a lash of citrus and a sprinkle of herbs. There’s passionfruit and a subtle creamy mid-palate texture that lifts this blend from the humdrum. These wines have tended to age really well in the medium term. Excellent. Read more

A straightforward sauvignon blanc with melon, lemon rind and crushed stone character. Medium body. Crisp acidity and a bright finish. Drink now. Screw cap.

Tasting Notes
Hints of cashew and toastiness sit alongside citrus, lime zest, and pawpaw to lift out of the glass. 30% oak fermentation adds a layer of complexity over this celebrated varietal union. Hints of cashew and toastiness sit alongside citrus, lime zest, and pawpaw to lift out of the glass. The palate is medium to full bodied with a delightful complex and inviting front palate. Flavours of lime and pink grapefruit abound with a nuanced acidity running along the backbone of the wine to give length and zestiness.
Winemakers Note
A family-owned winery, Lenton Brae was established in 1982. Recent renovations have rejuvenated the site, showcasing the splendour of this region. Large bay windows overlook our lake, adorned with ducks and native birds. Outdoor shaded tables are perfect in the summer months and cosy fireplaces in winter. Situated just north of Margaret River, Lenton Brae is nestled into the hills of the premium Wilyabrup region. Here, loamy gravel soils provide excellent constitution and drainage. A stone’s throw (around 3.5kms) from the Indian Ocean, our vines benefit from a mild and consistent Mediterranean climate.
