Geoffrey Binder, JJ Buckley, April 2012

65% semillon, 35% sauvignon blanc. Fermented in barrel, then aged in 40% new oak. Planted on large gravel soils. A lovely mix of lemon rind, grapefruit, and other bright citrus aromas, balanced with deeper notes of orange marmalade, quince, and a touch of beeswax. This is deliciously fresh and wonderfully focused, with loads of grapefruit, passion fruit, and citrus. Medium to full in body, with a long, mineral-laden finish that gains verve from persistent and lively acidity. Enjoy upon release and over the following 10 years.

Vivid straw-green. Bright orchard fruits and flowers on the nose, complicated by a fresh herb element. Then slightly austere and more herbal on the palate, showing intense flavors of lemon zest, tequila and winter melon. The finish features rising tannins and hints of rosemary and sage. A slight green streak at the back lowered my score just a little, but I doubt this will be noticeable when the wine is served with food.

This wine is tight and taut, with minerality. Its fruit is heavily citrusy, with a character that cuts like steel through the nervy texture. This shows aging potential.
