Rocky Road Semillon / Sauvignon Blanc 2021, McHenry Hohnen 

Margaret River, Australia

Grape Variety: Semillon & Sauvignon Blanc

Alcohol: 12% ABV

The Story

The Rocky Road range is a playground where McHenry Hohnen push the stylistic boundaries with some of the region’s classical blends and varieties as well as some lesser-known ones - they often throw the textbook away with the goal of producing wines with personality that are vibrant and fresh.

Vineyard & Winemaking

100% Calgardup Brook Vineyard. This vineyard lies just inland from the coast. Its soils are well drained sandy and schisty. The climate of this vineyard is strongly influenced by its immediate vicinity to the Indian Ocean.
The fruit was picked in the cool hours of the night, whole berry pressed and transferred to a combination of stainless steel tanks and large wood casks for extra texture and aromatic complexity. After fermentation the wine was left on fine lees until Spring and bottled early to retain freshness and aromatic lift.

Tasting Notes:

On the nose honeydew melon, lime zest and fresh cut grass notes are balanced by tropical aromas of lychee and guava. Cask and barrel fermentation followed by maturation on fine lees provide texture and creaminess to this wine and a light flinty complexity.

The palate abounds with generous loquat fruit and passionfruit, whilst the fresh, natural acidity of the vintage makes for a bright and mineral finish. A full flavoured, balanced and complex interpretation of a Margaret River stalwart.
