Reviews

Semillon / Sauvignon Blanc 2007

James Halliday, Weekend Australian Newspaper 100 Top Wines, November 10-11, 2007 – 95 Points

"Here fragrant citrus and passionfruit bouquet leads in to a long palate with perfect clarity and intensity and lingering aftertaste."

Semillon / Sauvignon Blanc 2005

James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2007 – 93 Points
“Clean and correct; a light-bodied, fresh and lively herbaceous, passionfruit, apple mix. 90/100

Peter Forrestal –Sunday Times Magazine
“The 2005 is pristine with powerful green bean characters and racy acidity.”

Semillon / Sauvignon Blan 2003

Jeff Collerson, Sydney Daily Telegraph, September 2003
“Bargain Buy White: A snappy, racy West Australian blend of Semillon from the maritime climate of Margaret River and sauvignon blanc from the cooler Pemberton region. Its lovely lifted aromas, fresh lemongrass flavours, and an enticing blend of soft acid and clean sparkling fruit, place it above the pack.”

Scoop Magazine – Summer Tasting 2003/2004 – 12 of the Best
“Wise has lifted the bar in recent vintages. This is by far the best I have seen of this wine. It shows a delightful assembly of tinned fruit and spicy herbal aromas, with plenty of fruit on the palate that is right in tune with complementing acidity and zing on the finish. As Bruce Dukes suggests, ‘bring me a fire-grilled chorizo and a glass of this wine any time!” David Pike, WA Business News Favourite Blended Whites: Wise Classic White 2003
