Thompson Estate Margaret River Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Not just one, but two 95pt scores for this coveted Margaret River SSB

Margaret River’s 5 Red Star Thompson Estate boasts a state-of-the-art winery and vineyards first planted in 1997 by cardiologist Peter Thompson, inspired by visits to some of the world’s finest winemaking regions. The consistently high scoring wines are made by Bob Cartwright, formerly of Leeuwin Estate. <i>“This moves up and away from the Estate Sauvignon Blanc, with a 60/40% split, putting semillon in the driver’s seat, but we don’t know if two wild-fermented barrels were semillon or sauvignon blanc. Whichever, it’s a complex assembly of tastes and textures, Thompson Estate suggesting a 10+-year cellaring potential… 95pts. Great Value.”</i> (Halliday Wine Companion, James Halliday). To 2029.
