Margan usually turn out a softer, more fruity Semillon that’s quite approachable as a young wine and this is no exception, although this looks perhaps a little more serious than usual. It certainly looked good after being open for a few days.

Nice and juicy offering a mix of fruit including ripe citrus and apple with a bit of struck match and dried herb. On the palate crunchy and fairly dry with citrus and some fruit veering towards the tropical spectrum. It has plenty of flavour, an acid balance offering good cut but nothing overbearing and a clean dry finish. All very enjoyable - either now or later.
