Bruce Dukes is a Margaret River legend, so even this, one of his entry-level wines, punches well above its weight, offering real complexity and interest. The 17% Semillon makes its presence felt with pithy citrus and cut grass to support the Sauvignon's bright acidity and exotic tropical richness, and there's a compelling texture and toastiness thanks to judicious time in oak. White Bordeaux fans will love this.
