The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is a crisp flavoursome wine with great minerality. Aromas of limes, elderflower, curry leaves and flint lead to a supple medium-bodied palate with more limey fruits and herbs. With equal proportions of the two grape varieties, Sauvignon Blanc was tank fermented while the Semillon element was barrel fermented using 28% new oak. The Smuggler’s Boot range of wines is named after an era when grape growers would smuggle cuttings into the country by concealing them in their wellies – trade embargoes prevented them from bringing them in any other way.
