The nose displays lifted citrus, passion fruit and grassy aromas, complemented by flinty and nutty characters. On the palate this wine exhibits a complex creamy texture with a lingering crisp finish.
This Sauvignon Blanc, produced for Watershed’s Senses range, has 50% barrel fermentation in French oak, with the balance fermented in tank.
Fruit and regional identity. Sense of place: Margaret River. The wines are a good example of typical Margaret River characters. More concentration and complexity through extended maturation and barrel fermentation.

Ray Jordan 2017 West Australian Wine Guide
“When you start fiddling with oak and sav blanc you can easily wreck the fruit with heavy handedness. Winemaker Severine Logan uses a dab hand to avoid any sense of that in making this wonderful expression of augmented sav blanc sing around 50% barrel fermentation to bring just the right amount of texture and nutty richness to the naturally grassy tropical characters of the savvy. Alway an excellent wine. Cellar: 5 years”
91 Points James Halliday Wine Companion
Excellent intensity. Lemongrass and ripe stone fruit flavours meet gravel and sweat. Super fresh and lively. Textural finish.
