Ballandean Estate SSB 2012

A very impressive Semillon Sauvignon Blanc here which could easily be mistaken for a classic SSB from Western Australia.

Ballandean's fruit comes from a vineyard 850 metres above sea level on Queensland's Granite Belt.

Pale appearance, grassy, leafy, cut herb, lemon rind and citrus aromas are abundant. The palate is zippy and racy with these characters also highlighting a refreshing and clean drop. A super bargain for $18!

Simple and clean packaging presents well. The addition of the QR code on the back is a neat touch from a winery seeking modern appeal.

Perfect for a warm day shared with good friends.

Available from cellar door or online.
