MIKE’S WINE NOTES:
Mike Davies – Wine Maker – Founder Greenskin Wine
We’re excited to present our new 2024 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, crafted by the masterful winemaking duo Dukes & Guise from Naturaliste Vintners. This vintage, the earliest on record due to an exceptionally warm and dry lead-up period, demanded precise timing for grape picking. Thanks to their expertise, Bruce Dukes and Remi Guise have created a seamless and sophisticated blend that perfectly marries these two varietals.
In this wine, Semillon provides the structural backbone, while Sauvignon Blanc adds vibrant fruitiness and refreshing zest, infusing the blend with lively flavours and aromatic notes. The result is a classic, impeccably balanced blend that showcases the best of both grapes.
- Colour: Pale Straw with hints of green
- Nose: Lifted floral and tropical characters with some hints of blackcurrant and guava.
- Palate: Medium weight with crispy crunchy green fruit characters supported by fuller honeyed and musk notes leading to a well-rounded and complete wine
Expect a harmonious interplay of fresh citrus, tropical fruits, and a subtle minerality that makes each sip delightful!
HUON’S WINE NOTES:
Huon Hooke is a leading Australian wine writer, critic, educator and show judge, best known for his columns in Sydney Morning Herald Good Food and Good Weekend.
Very light yellow hue; intense and quite pungent on the nose with guava, pawpaw, tropical fruit aromas. Palate is clean and intense, with a flick of tannin adding grip and texture, the finish drying and firm.
88/100 points – Bronze Medal Winner.
Greenskin Wine just got Greener with new Packaging!
We’re proud to prioritise environmental sustainability by making the switch to brown cardboard packaging for our all of our new wines launched.
Not only does it reduce the demand for virgin resources, but it also minimises chemical usage and promotes easier recyclability, helping us all sip more sustainably!

Just wanted to say how happy with our delivery
The ordering and delivery process is exceptional.
The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is fabulous, thoroughly enjoying it.
The packaging is ideal for storage and transporting on our caravan trips
The people that I have shown the wine to are “gobsmacked” with the concept
Thank you, looking forward to more great wines for our next trip away, and at home.

Great tasing wine and loved the convenience of the pouches when travelling. So much easier than carting bottles and the easy post pack for returning the empties makes it even better. Will definitely buy these wines again.
