2022 Bel a Ciao Vin Orange, IGP Atlantique

Semillon/Sauvignon

It's Bordeaux Jim, but not as we know it! Outlandish winemaker Olivier Cazenave likes to do things a little differently and this Orange Bordeaux is testament to that.  Made with predominantly Semillon that spends two weeks on skins before being run off by gravity into a seperate tank for a further 6 months at 5 degrees Celcius until bottling.  A tiny amount of traditionally fermented Sauvignon and Muscadelle is added to add freshness and a floral edge.  No sulphur was used at harvest and is only used in the bottling process when absolutely necessary.

2023 Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon, Flametree, Margaret River

White Blend

The Flametree Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon blend is a delicious example of this Bordeaux style white blend.  Elegant citrus and stone fruit sit merrily alongside more exotic fruit notes such as lychee.  The maritime influence is clear in the fresh, zippy finish.  This wine is delicious now but will continue to evolve happily in bottle for a while yet.
