Reviews and Ratings

Julian Park rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Collusion is a blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc/ 40% Semillon and is a new release for 2015 . The grapes for the blend come from Road 20 in Oliver on the west side of the valley. This block is ideally located for morning sun which helped to mitigate the aggressive ripening seen in the 2015 vintage. The Semillon was aged in a new French oak puncheon for 4 months to give it some creaminess on the texture to soften the Sauvignon Blanc. The Sauvignon Blanc was tank fermented and aged. This elegant creamy white has good acid levels for food with a crisp orange blossom, caramelised citrus and grapefruit, a beautiful fragrance, medium to full body and nicely integrated oak. Alcohol 14.1% Residual Suger 5.7 g/L The 2015 Collusion was released in May.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
