The 2008 Siblings Sauvignon Blanc (51%)-Semillon (49%) was fermented in stainless steel and oak and then spent 3 months in seasoned French oak. It offers up a grassy, herbaceous, pungent perfume leading to a ripe, savory, full-flavored wine that may well evolve for 1-2 years. Drink this concentrated offering from 2011 to 2016.
Leeuwin Estate is one of the icon wineries of Western Australia and their Artist Series Chardonnay is an annual contender for Australia’s best.
