Margan See Saw 2009 (Semillon, Chardonnay, Verdelho)

88 pts Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar - A spicy orange rind note builds on the vibrant, nicely persistent finish.

Tasting Notes

Considered an ideal match because one completes the other. Semillon provides the texture, body and richness, while Chardonnay offers the structure, raciness and backbone. The result is fresh and lively, combining lime and citrus characters with a hint of passionfruit. Producing a style that offers genuine wine complexity with pure and simple drinking enjoyment.
(85% Semmillon, 10% Chardonnay, 5% Verdelho)

88 pts Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar Sept. 2011 (JR)
Light yellow. Beeswax, pear skin and lemon zest on the nose. Waxy orchard fruit and citrus flavors gain power and weight with air, along with a tangy mineral quality. A spicy orange rind note builds on the vibrant, nicely persistent finish.

88 pts Wine & Spirits Magazine June 2011 Top 100 Values of the Year A clean, fragrant white with cool scents of lime blossom and apple, this ends with a pine-like acidity to balance the broad, buttered toast flavors of the lees. For grilled fish with tropical salsa.

Winemaker Notes

Winemakers, Andrew Margan & Hamish MacGowan have united to create the perfect balancing act named See Saw. Inspired by the opportunity to bring together two iconic regions, the winemaking focus for See Saw is all about cold ferments, modern stainless steel tanks and carefully selected yeast strains to bring out the best of these two varieties.
