Australian White Blends > Chardonnay Semillon Sauvignon Blanc
The multi blend of Chardonnay Semillon Sauvignon Blanc gives the blend an absolute unique flavour. The Chardonnay more than almost any other grape Chardonnay responds to different climatic conditions and to the winemaker's art. This, plus the relative ease with which it can be grown, accounts for the marked gradation of flavours and styles, from steely, cool climate austerity to almost tropical lusciousness. The relatively sharp end of the spectrum is one of the best choices for simple fish dishes, most Chardonnays are superb with roast chicken or other white meat, the really full, rich, New World blockbusters need rich fish and seafood dishes. Oaky Chardonnays are good choice for smoked fish. Chardonnay grows very well in most regions of Australia.
While the Semillon Sauvignon Blanc is a grape that contains one of the most pungent and powerful of aromas in wine. Flavours of passion fruit, gooseberry, lantana, tomcat, asparagus, tomato bush and tinned peas are possible, followed on the palate by very zingy crisp acid. Sauvignon Blanc grape makes wines with enough bite and sharpness to accompany quite rich fish dishes, while the Semillon is equal to spicy food and rich sauces, often going even better with meat than with fish, sweet Semillon can partner many puddings, especially rich, creamy ones. Semillon also goes well with many cheeses, and Sauternes with Roquefort is a classic combination.
| Carlei Tre Signature Blends -Tre Bianchi 2005 - Cardinia Ranges 750ml x 12 : Carlei Tre Signature Blends -Tre Bianchi 2005... The pale lemon gold colour belies the intensity of flavour with this wine. The nose sees slate like minerals with a slight nutty overtone. In the mix there is some citrus fruit, cool white peach with a hint of grapefruit in fact. At the back palate there is gentle but firm acidity, which is well integrated with the other omponents, resulting in a balanced complex blend that finishes with a savoury note. This wine is as much about texture as it is flavour and will continue to improve with further bottle age
