2024 McHenry Hohnen Rocky Road Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

The 2024 McHenry Hohnen Rocky Road Semillon Sauvignon Blanc is a fresh yet textural Margaret River white blend, combining 78% Sauvignon Blanc and 22% Semillon from the Calgardup Brook Vineyard. Fermented in a mix of stainless steel and large-format oak before extended lees ageing, it offers a more complex interpretation of this regional classic. The nose is vibrant with aromas of guava, honeydew melon and lime zest, complemented by subtle cask-ferment notes and hints of fresh herbs.

On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with lively natural acidity and a creamy, well-rounded texture. Flavours of passionfruit, loquat, citrus and grapefruit are layered with a fine mineral edge, while lees maturation adds depth without compromising freshness. The finish is long, savoury and refreshing, making it an ideal wine to enjoy over the next 2–4 years.

Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy modern Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc Semillon with vibrant fruit, subtle texture and crisp minerality. Pair it with freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, seafood linguine, roast chicken or soft goat's cheese. Serve well chilled and enjoy now while its freshness and bright fruit are at their best.
