Product reviewed: Suckfizzle Sauvignon Semillon 2009
A clean, fresh and elegant Sauvignon, Semillon blend - full of delicious tropical fruit flavours. Brilliant pale lemon shot through with green highlights. The bouquet is a lifted cornucopia of quince, gooseberry, feijoa, lime marmalade, torn herbs, lantana and lemon myrtle, made more complex by mineral notes, hints of struck match and wax, all overlaid with a gloss of spicy oak. Medium bodied in the mouth and tighter than the 2008. The palate has a creamy texture and shows assertive, powerful flavours of gooseberry, nectarine and toasty oak with savoury notes that give it great sapidity. The flavours are mouth-filling yet corseted by defined lemon sherbet acidity. The weight, intensity, texture and balance of the wine all work together effortlessly - there is nothing forced or contrived - and the persistence of flavour is astonishing.
Score: 96/100

Product reviewed: Suckfizzle Sauvignon Semillon 2009
A 60/40% blend barrel-fermented and matured in French oak (50% new) for 3 months. At the top end of Margaret River white Bordeaux blends, it has a compelling palate of finesse and richness of flavour, all the components seamlessly fused, with grapefruit, peach and fig caressed by high quality oak
Score: 96/100
