Altus/ Rise Wildlight Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2019
A Margaret River blend of 75% SB / 25% Semillon.
Skewing toward the fresher and more tropical side of the blend, a classic example of a regional style: Passionfruit, lychee, hints of kaffir and lemongrass.
More of the same on the palate, a roundness to it, giving some volume as you naturally roll it across the palate, as if to contemplate: what next?
Subtle rasp and herbal twitch across the finish. It's certainly fresh and on a stinker of a Brisbane day certainly did what was asked of it. I'd originally identified this as something to pair with a crispy skinned snapper fillet and mango Salsa. Except it's seemingly hard to find skin on. At least the wine did not fail to deliver. 89
