Sauvignon Blanc (65%)

Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant, aromatic white grape variety known for its zesty acidity, expressive character, and unmistakable freshness. Originating in the Loire Valley—home to benchmark wines like Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé—it has found success in regions around the world, from Marlborough in New Zealand to Bordeaux, California, Chile, and South Africa. Typically dry and unoaked, Sauvignon Blanc bursts with flavours of citrus, green apple, gooseberry, and tropical fruits, often layered with notes of cut grass, bell pepper, or flint, depending on the climate and soil. Cool-climate examples are lean and mineral, while warmer styles can be more generous and fruit-forward. Its crisp, mouth-watering profile makes it a natural partner for seafood, goat cheese, and fresh herbs. Whether sharp and steely or rounder with a touch of oak, Sauvignon Blanc remains a go-to choice for lovers of lively, expressive white wines.

Sémillon (35%)

Sémillon is one of Bordeaux’s classic white grape varieties, prized for the texture, richness and ageing potential it brings to a blend. Typically showing flavours of lemon curd, pear, peach and melon, it often develops notes of honey, beeswax and toasted nuts with age, adding complexity and depth. Naturally lower in acidity than Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon contributes weight, roundness and a smooth mouthfeel, making it an ideal partner in Bordeaux Blanc. While often blended, it can also produce outstanding single-varietal wines, ranging from dry, textured whites to some of the world's greatest sweet wines, particularly in regions such as Sauternes and Barsac. Its ability to combine richness with elegance makes it one of the unsung heroes of the wine world.

Bordeaux - located in southwest France, is one of the world’s most renowned and influential wine regions, celebrated for its historic châteaux, age-worthy wines, and unparalleled blending tradition. Divided by the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, Bordeaux is home to two stylistic pillars: the Left Bank, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, and the Right Bank, where Merlot takes the lead. The region’s moderate maritime climate, gravelly and clay-limestone soils, and long growing season provide ideal conditions for producing structured reds, elegant dry whites, and some of the world’s most famous sweet wines, notably from Sauternes. Bordeaux’s appellations—such as Pauillac, Saint-Émilion, Margaux, and Pessac-Léognan—are benchmarks for quality and expression. With centuries of winemaking tradition, strict classification systems, and a global reputation for excellence, Bordeaux continues to set the standard for fine wine around the world.
