The Hidden Cave Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2019
Overview
Overview
Deep in the south of Margaret River, beyond where most tourists venture, stand towering Karri forests, protecting a hidden cave they call the Devil’s Lair. It’s after this unassuming and somewhat shy cave – one of Australia’s most significant archaeological sites – that Devil’s Lair is named.
The Hidden Cave take on this quintessential Margaret River blend is refreshing and clean, with punchy acidity and a touch of spice.

Flavours and Palate
Zesty Sauvignon blanc explodes at first taste with nettles, lemon peel, kiwi fruit and subtle passionfruit. This initial explosion is supported with a juicy textural core of lime and passionfruit provided by Semillon.

Margaret River, Western Australia
Margaret River’s jarrah and marri forests give way to sun, surf, sand – and since the 1970s, some of the most powerful, yet elegant Cabernets and Chardonnays around. It’s also famed for sumptuous Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blends.
