Sorrenberg Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2023

The wine is Sorrenberg Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2023 and it is Australia's most unique and dare I say, best Sauvignon Blanc Semillon.   In the past, Mike Bennie has described this wine as "Australia’s answer to, and many respects usurper, of high end Bordeaux Blanc. Indeed, why ape the benchmark when you can be the benchmark?  One of Australia's great, great wines"

The tour de force now. It’s in the groove, all elements finding harmony and the complex, textural-medium white wine is on show. The savouriness and briny minerality sits under the more inherent ‘SBS characters’ with subtle inflection of nuttiness, sour dough, brine and crushed rock minerality with an invigorating snap of preserved lime acidity to finish. It’s a more gentle expression than some years, and one that feels like it needs to be coaxed out of its shell, but my oh my, with patience, this shows its mettle. Complex, energetic, so beautiful, classy and delicious. Drink: 2024-2030; Rated: 96 Points; Mike Bennie; The Wine Front
