This grape combo is a signature of Western Australia, and makes for zesty yet substantial whites. No exception here. It shows generous, quite complex aromas of green fig–pear, with lime, fresh mint and pepper, all set in a full (from the sémillon) yet crisp (from the sauvignon blanc) style. Mindful of a juicy gin and tonic. LCBO 588863
