Pale straw colour. The nose is a complex mix of green bean and grassy notes with a touch of capsicum. The use of the Stelvin closure ensures that these characters are retained and are free of any cork related off odours. The palate has a medium weight with flavours of snow peas, capsicum and cut grass. The finish is clean with a crisp acidity.

Why Sabbatical?
The 2007 growing season in McLaren Vale was amongst the driest on record and in spite of careful supplementary watering, crops were down dramatically. But every dark cloud has a silver lining. Semillon is so often the prefect partner to Sauvignon Blanc and when blended together these intensely flavoured berries produced a wonderful wine with crisp mouth filing flavour ensuring great summer drinking. We III Associates invite you inside to enjoy a wine that will reward you… Sabbatical.
