The Accomplice Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Region: Riverina

Vintage: Current vintage

Winery: De Bortoli

Colour: Pale straw in colour with fresh green hues.

Aroma: The nose is clean and grassy with tropical aromas.

Palate: The palate is soft and fresh with balanced acidity.

Vintage Conditions: 2012 saw moderate rainfall in spring and early summer followed by mild summer temperatures. Cooler than usual temperatures during harvest resulted in good natural acidity and some of the best flavour we’ve seen for many years in the Riverina. Yields were also slightly down which saw great varietal intensity.

Winemaking: Semillon and Sauvignon blanc from select vineyards in the Riverina were chosen for their intense varietal characters. The juice was fermented cold to retain fruit flavour and freshness before being clarified and bottled.
