2025 Mystery Geographe Sauvignon Blanc Semillon Deal No. 5895

92 POINTS

Ray Jordan

A neat little current drinking wine that combines freshness and flavour with a crunchy, lively palate. Typical of the year, there's a degree of delicacy with a melony citrus character that opens on the nose and then threads through to a palate where a crunchy citrus, lemony zip adds to the very subtle tropical passionfruit nuance. It's a lighter-bodied example with some restraint, but excellent current drinking.

The 2025 Dragonfly Sauvignon Blanc Semillon hails from the picturesque Geographe region in Western Australia (on the way down to Margaret River from Perth, for those that have made the trip), and it is a region that benefits from hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters. It has a higher diurnal range than Margaret River, but it also benefits from the ocean breezes rolling up the Darling scarp, though what time of day this hits is very vineyard specific. It's a region well suited to premium Mediterranean varieties, and I look forward to watching this evolve over the coming years. This is a region absolutely brimming with potential. Anyway, to this wine. The 2025 Dragonfly Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is juicy, fruit-driven and uncomplicated, with an attractive chalky texture and a light, breezy finish. Willow Bridge is the largest winery in this region; winemaker Kym Horton has been at the helm for years, quietly going about his business, making incredibly reliable, well-made wines, and this is no exception. 12.8% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Crisp and waxy textured at the same time. A cavalcade of tropical fruits in the perfume; a slosh of citrus, green pear, cut grass to taste. It feels quite edgy, a little grippy and gritty through the short finish, sherbety, too. In all this, a lively, simple, summery dry white.
