Sauvignon Blanc / Semillion
Sauternes, Barsac and Beyond
A match made in heaven, this magnificent blend produces white wines in both sweet and dry styles. Sauvignon Blanc lends acidity and aromatic freshness to the blend, often with distinctly fruity, herbaceous and floral aromas. Sémillon meanwhile adds beautiful body, texture and ageabilty. France, Australia and South Africa are your go-to countries in this instance. In France, the region of Bordeaux sees top dry white blends from Château Haut Brion and Clos Cantenac. Sweet wines take centre stage on the shelves at Hedonism with the huge vintage library of Sauternes and Barsac from world-acclaimed Châteaux Yquem, Rieussec and Doisy Daëne. Margaret River producer Cullen Vineyard are making magnificent Sauvignon Blanc-Sémillon blends in Australia, whilst Duncan Savage offers up intense and concentrated white blends hailing from the Western Cape of South Africa.
