The 2022 Oates Ends The G.W.B. is an expressive Sauvignon Blanc Semillon blend from Wilyabrup in Margaret River. It shows grapefruit, lemon and lime alongside gooseberry, kiwi fruit and subtle tropical notes, with hints of toast, flint and spice adding complexity to the fresh fruit profile.
On the palate, it is vibrant and finely textured, with crunchy acidity driving citrus and exotic stone fruit flavours. Barrel fermentation and six months on lees bring additional texture and depth, while subtle oak and smoky notes complement rather than dominate the fruit. The finish is fresh, tangy and persistent, with citrus and savoury complexity lingering through the palate.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for drinkers looking for a more textured and complex take on the classic Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc Semillon blend. Its combination of vibrant citrus, crisp acidity and subtle barrel influence makes it particularly versatile with food. Ideal with grilled prawns, oysters, fish, roast chicken, fresh salads, goat’s cheese or light pasta dishes.
