Ray Jordan

A style that stretches back to the earliest wines made here. Bright, lively, and abundantly fruited, with a crisp, zesty thread through to the finish. Clean, pure, and delightful for current drinking.

Classic indeed. 63% Semillon, 37% Sauvignon Blanc. This hits the brief of drink and don’t think. Clean and zingy aromas of lemongrass, lemon pith, cantaloupe, and hints of papaya make up a fresh and profile. The palate is expectedly fruit forward with zesty fruit supported by grassy and herbaceous notes. Green mango, lemon, lime pith, and hints of green pineapple with some tangy acidity in tow. This won’t move you, and nor should it, but it’ll slake your thirst without need for food nor pomp.

Semillon and sauvignon blanc form the basis of this uncomplicated drink full of good fruit. Tangy and juicy, with no overt flavours, as in too tropical, just some Chinese gooseberries. There’s grapefruit and pith, lime zest, crunchy acidity and a juiciness throughout.

Interesting to note that the wine hasn’t really shifted RRP since 2009 reviews as per here. It may have moved since its first release in 1987, but I was more into lemon, lime and bitters back then. It is semillon and sauvignon blanc. It kind of set up a style guide for Margaret River dry white wine of those varieties, in some respects. It’s crisp and clean, it drinks with charm. It doesn’t raise the pulse, but it should work on board your yacht or eating prawns with legs dangling in a swimming pool. It’s all lime and green melon and cut grass and just-ripe pineapple. It has a pleasing juiciness and a neat, dry, bony and zingy finish. Drink out of an ice bucket at the Country Club while playing KENO. I’d go a very cold glass in that kind of groove.
