Cassegrain Edition Noir Semillon (Formerly Semillon) 2005
Rather angular and herbaceous, this early-drinking semillon reveals citrusy aromas of passionfruit, apricot and tropical fruits. Its juicy, tropical and candied palate quickly broadens out towards a syrupy and ill-defined finish that lacks shape and tightness.

Winery
Cassegrain
Cassegrain has steadily expanded from its original base around Port Macquarie to become an active participant in a number of cooler New South Wales regions, from which it regularly changes the fruit sources of some of its wines, including those featured here. There's a complex and sophisticated, savoury stamp about these wines that stands them apart from the Australian mainstream. Cassegrain's reds tend to lack genuine conviction and ripeness.
