Sauvignon Semillon, Fonty's Pool, 2009

Established in 1989, Fonty's Pool is a contemporary Pemberton winery producing consistently exceptional wines at an affordable price. Premium sites within the original vineyard have been selected to create wines which emphasise their regional characteristics. The grapes are vinified under the direction of experienced winemaker Bernie Stanlake and Melanie Bowater who craft these signature wines to make Fonty's Pool one of Western Australia's most distinctive wineries.The name 'Fonty's Pool' comes from an early settler to the region. In 1907 Archie Fontanini began farming on the property where the 110 hectares of vines are now laid. He built an irrigation dam which was known as Fonty's Pool, as it became a popular place for locals and tourists to swim. Fonty's Pool is located just outside the Pemberton township, set against an idyllic landscape of lush karri forests.

This is a fruit-driven, crisp, refreshing and clean wine to be drunk young.
