Pepper Tree Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2014

A blend of Hunter Semillon and Tasmanian Sauvignon Blanc. Unusual, but theoretically interesting, combo.

Green apple citrus, largely derived from the Semillon, the palate light and short, finishing with a twang of quite soft acidity. It’s a simple crisp white wine with little beyond that.

Ultimately boring. Clearly well made and fresh, but dull.

Wine

Andrew Graham
Almost 25 years ago I started working in a small bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. There, I met my first two loves - wine and craft beer, and they took over my life. Two decades later and I spend my days as a journalist, buyer, wine show judge, marketer and drinks industry consultant.
