The 2014 Margaret River Si. Vinters is a
Semillon-Chardonnay blend. Given the varieties, it's a distinct gold in
colour. It has a honeyed perfume. And while it retains the studied severity of
Semillon, that is softened by the Chardy. Si. Vinters has reinvigorated my
appreciation for this blend, because, as one website says, they're 'easy
bedfellows' for 'complexity, ready consumption and interest'. Of note is that
part of its fermentation took place in that alternative and newly revived
container, concrete eggs related to ancient fermentation vessels, and it is an
unfined, unfiltered wine.
