Tasting Notes
I adore this wine. It speaks of nothing else but the high elevation vineyards of Eden Valley where the wines are more elegant than the neighbouring Barossa, yet still have power and strength. Intricate dark fruits, Syrah spice and an iron-like meatiness. Tightly structured and willing to be cellared for 20ish years if you have the patience. Brilliant. - Chris L
Brett Grocke is a 6th generation Barossan who believes in 'wines built from the dirt up'. This Magnolia Blanc (100% Semillon) is exactly that. The fruit comes off three organically-farmed sites planted on the granitic sands below Mengler's Hill in the Barossa. There is a beautiful and elegant extraction of apricot-like flavour from the skins of the Semillon which sits long on your palate. It also has a great line and freshness, which is reminiscent of oyster shells. It is delicious and one of the most interesting wines you'll have for the money. Let it open your mind about what Semillon can be. Stunning wine!
