Happs Semillon | Margaret River
A moderate aroma of lemon butter, fresh cut grass, honey suckle and brioche with notes of rockmelon, straw and tinned peach. The palate is soft, creamy and textural rather than crisp and acidic as is often seen with this variety. The flavors are of citrus, fig, quince paste and lemon tart with hints of pastry and compote. The flavor is long with a subtle minerality and a soft acidity that makes for a very particular style.
