Margaret River, South West Australia, Western Australia, Australia
I like this MR blend that mimics the Bordeaux Blanc one.
This is less austere, more direct and more fun
Mind i am not saying better, but different in the result not in the varieties used
I personally love this expression of Margaret River, i am sorry that Aussies find it a bit outdated, but i reckon they will reconsider it in the future; it definitely has a far greater reason to exist at the moment that a lot of labels made out of European indigenous variety planted not long ago.
These are all grape sourced from the Luminosa vineyard, uncertified but fully organic since day 1.
About 60% sem and the rest sauvignon blanc
It has freshness to sell, it is altogether simple for now,but i bet it will get so much better with time.
It would be a top match with any fish cooked pretty simply on a barbie.

Herbaceous notes dominate the nose at first. Fuller weight and texture than the Skuttlebutt. The tropical notes are there and balanced. Nice length, very respectable.

I picked up a couple of bottles of the Stella Bella (which means 'beautiful star') 2014 SSB from my local Cellarbrations for $23 a pop for some mid-week wine drinking last week and here's what I thought..
Hay colour on the eye. Lovely vegetal aromas of asparagus and capsicum with a whiff of gooseberries and citrus. Smooth, fresh palate with a lovely acidic kick. In terms of flavours, it's like a pineapple, dragon fruit and mango sorbet smoothie to me. Very tasty and of course very good for you 😜
