Waverley Hills Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc 2008

This organic blend of dry white wines is low in alcohol and has aromas of white pear, citrus and fresh passion fruit. The wine has a smooth entry and is well-balanced on the palate with aftertastes of lime and fresh grass. The wood component is very subtle and well-integrated.

This fresh easy drinking wine compliments a healthy wine philosophy and is perfect for light organic salads with fresh herbs and spices and seafood.
