Blending on the fly and trying to recreate the magic of the first white drinking wine, the final blend was roughly for Express Winemakers Drinking Wine White 2021 vintage 55% Chardonnay, 30% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Semillon. All the fruit was organically farmed across the Express collection of Great Southern Vineyards. Ferment was wild at ambient temperatures, mostly in mature oak vessels of various sizes. Lemon curd and big yoghurty vibes meet generous weight and banging acid. 

Express Winemakers are about producing wines that are uniquely expressive of their origins. They currently lease and manage four small vineyards in the Mount Barker and Porongurup sub-regions of Western Australia’s Great Southern. The team feels that the cool climate and ancient decomposed granite soils of the Great Southern lends itself to low yielding vines producing high quality fruit, which is necessary to make expressive minimal intervention wines.
