McHenry Hohnen Sauvignon Blanc Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc Case - 3 bottles each:, 2023

Rocky Road by McHenry Hohnen Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, Margaret River
Pale lemon colour and very obvious nose that skilfully combines the aromatic, grassy notes of Sauvignon with the waxy character of Sémillon. There's more, too, with passion fruit, dried honey, gooseberry, fennel, wet stone and elderflower. On the palate, it seems just off dry with the fruit easing in to centre stage. The acidity is a lively counterfoil, and the alcohol does not dominate with a fruit-driven, lingering palate. Drink 2024-2027–MP

McHenry Hohnen Sauvignon Blanc, Margaret River
Pale lemon colour and an intense, waxy nose of ripe stone fruit including melon, peach, nectarine and passion fruit – plus a discreet touch of oak. The palate is reminiscent of a California Fumé Blanc revealing an agreeable weight and rounded fruit character: white melon, ripe peach, tropical fruit and more weight. The light oak influence makes for a compelling, nuanced finish. Drink now.–MP
