Reviews:

Juniper Crossing Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Highly aromatic passionfruit, citrus, lychee and ripe apple aromas; a delicate but long palate; clean finish. Screcap. 13° alc. Rating 92 To 2010
James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2009

Another of those attractive blends that have become synonymous with Margaret River. Magical citrus/tropical flavours provide the very essence of enjoyment.
John Fordham, The Sunday Telegraph, 30 March 2008

An intriguing mix of tropical fruits, hard to pin down; belongs in the pineapple, guava spectrum hints of apple and nettle. Grandiose on the palate, fruit flavours well-followed from the aroma; fleshy.
Jason Boudville. Spice Magazine, Autumn 08

Classy expression of pure Margaret River fruit. It’s quite light and fragrant but with good length and intensity. Lifted herbal characters with some light herbaceousness.

This picked up a couple of trophies at the 2007 Royal Perth Wine Show, one for Best Dry White Table Wine (Blends) and the other for Best 2007 Vintage Dry White Wine and a very good wine it is too.
Bright and quite pungent with a mix of nettles, citrus and tropical fruits. On the palate it’s really perky and zesty with passionfruit, pineapple and citrus fruit, sweet nettle and capsicum spice - a burst of Passiona® style flavour. It has balanced acidity which is slightly bitey and perhaps a little loose on the palate, but certainly easy to drink. Closes with a good dry Gin and Tonic flavoured finish. A really tasty wine that drinks like a champion. Rated : 92 Points
