Oates End The G.W.B. Sauvignon Blanc 2023 from Wilyabrup in Margaret River is a cracking “great white blend” – a vibrant mix of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and a cheeky splash of Chardonnay that feels coastal, energetic and properly moreish in the glass. It’s pale straw, super bright and built to refresh, with just enough winemaker craft to keep things interesting.

On the nose and palate, Oates Ends The G.W.B. Sauvignon Blanc 2023 delivers exotic passionfruit, tropical fruit and citrus alongside lemon‑lime zest, a bit of spice and kiwifruit, all riding on racy, tangy acidity. Semillon brings structure and crunch, while Chardonnay adds a soft, rounded mouthfeel and a whisper of oak and malo complexity, giving a lightly textural, long, zippy finish that stays beautifully dry.

Food‑wise, it’s tailor‑made for fresh seafood, oysters, grilled fish and green‑leafy salads, where that citrus‑tropical profile really sings. It also slots in nicely with light Asian dishes, goat’s cheese and sunshine‑friendly snacks – the sort of Margaret River white you can pour all afternoon and still feel lifted rather than weighed down, with mid‑term cellaring potential up to around 2030.
