The other 10 % of the blend is Semillon grapes which were grown in the Knotting Hill Vineyard in the Margaret River wine region, which has similar soils to the Whicher Ridge vineyard

Our 2022 Odyssey Garden Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is a blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Semillon. The addition of Semillon adds extra weight and richness to the mouthfeel of the wine, as well as lemongrass and citrusy flavours. The grapes are harvested when the flavours are in the pear, lemongrass, white peach, sweet lemon spectrum. This wine is fermented in tank, with a small number of French oak lightly toasted boards, to add an extra layer of flavours and to give the wine a better length and longer flavour finish. The Semillon is blended in with the Sauvignon Blanc at the end of fermentation. The wine is matured in tank for up to 4 months with the oak boards and the yeast lees. The yeast lees are mixed up into the wine every 2 weeks which gives the SBS a lovely creamy, and softer mouthfeel, which balances the crips acidity level.
