Australian White Wines > Sauvignon Blanc Semillon Viognier
Australian Sauvignon Blanc Semillon and Viognier blends are becoming more evident in recent times. Depending on the Australian region the Sauvignon Blanc seems to do best from the Adelaide Hills and Southern area's of Western Australia with this difficult grape. Western Australia region Margaret River's 'sem-sav' style, which can be either Semillon - or sauvignon-dominant, has become a classic blend , highly popular with local and overseas drinkers. The good ones have distinctive varietal character that tends more to more the tropical -fruit spectrum rather than the herbaceous aroma, flimsy palate style of the past.While the Viognier has a discreet not pungent type flavour, with a oily texture of pleasant softness and weight. There are creamy aromas and just a faint hint of dried apricot.
