The 2024 Lenton Brae Semillon Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant and beautifully polished Margaret River white blend that highlights the freshness and coastal elegance the region is famous for. Produced from estate-grown Semillon and cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc sourced from Wilyabrup and Karridale, the wine combines stainless steel winemaking with partial oak fermentation to add subtle texture and complexity. Lenton Brae has long been regarded as one of Margaret River’s benchmark producers of this classic Western Australian style, and the excellent 2024 vintage delivered bright aromatics, crisp acidity and impressive purity.
The nose reveals lime zest, passionfruit and gooseberry layered with lemongrass, jasmine and delicate herbal notes. On the palate, it is fresh and lively with vibrant citrus fruit, pink grapefruit and green apple carried by crisp acidity and a subtle mineral edge. Gentle hints of cashew and toast from partial oak fermentation add texture and depth, finishing long, clean and refreshing with excellent balance and drinkability. Critics praised the wine’s vibrancy and finesse, with Winepilot highlighting its freshness and bright aromatic profile.
