Arlewood Semillon / Sauvignon Blanc, Margaret River

Description

Arlewood Semillon / Sauvignon Blanc is a labelled as a Semillon / Sauvignon Blanc although the blend is actually 60% Sauvignon and 40% Semillon. Arlewood Estate was established by Garry Gosatti in 1999 in the Wilybrup Valley, Margaret River, Western Australia. Situtated a few miles from the Indian Ocean and bounded by it on three sides, Arlewood benefits from the best of the region’s landscape and climate. In 2009 Arlewood acquired an established vineyard in Forest Grove, Witchcliffe, ten minutes south of the town of Margaret River, and made the move from Wilyabrup. The Forest Grove Estate is now Arlewood HQ. This area is much cooler and offers more freshness to the fruit. The fruit for this wine is sourced from Arlewood Estate’s Forest Grove vinryards. The Sauvignon Blanc is tank fermented whilst the 20% of the Semillon is aged for 2 months in new French oak barriques.
