Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc

One of Australia’s most revered wine critics, James Halliday awarded this full-flavored, citrusy white wine 92 points. It has a silky texture, fresh, crisp palate and deliciously long finish. A hard-to-find gem made in small batches, it’s a favorite of white wine lovers and reserved here exclusively for Firstleaf members.

Wine Region

Australia

The Land Down Under is famous for taking well-known European grapes and giving them a new personality. From bold, jammy Shiraz to creamy oak-tinged Chardonnay, herbaceous Sémillon to distinctively citrusy Riesling, when it comes to quality, Australian wine can be breathtaking. This is thanks to its variety of climates and terroirs. Australia is roughly the same size as the continental United States, with temperatures ranging from searingly hot to moderately cool. The best regions have warm days and cool nights, tempered by breezes from the Southern and Indian Oceans.
