AN UPWARDLY MOBILE GRAPE FROM DOWN UNDERBy Madelyn Miller Will Australia’s Cranswick Estate help the unique Semillon Grape join the “Single Grape Society?”
 The best selling Cranswick wine in Australia, Cranswick Estate Semillon Chardonnay is poised to move the hearty Semillon grape beyond its “silent partner” role, into the limelight. The naming of the Semillon grape on new labels (teamed with Chardonnay) could herald its entrance into the Single Grape Society.
Pleasantly round in the mouth and fruity, with a hazelnut accent to pear, peach and even melon flavors, Cranswick Estate Semillon Chardonnay is a particularly good partner to seafood and Asian dishes. Delightfully refreshing, Cranswick Estate Semillon Chardonnay could be the perfect Spring & Summer wine for the “Out-Back”-yard! The unique grapes used in Cranswick Semillon Chardonnay can be found on Australia’s second largest wine growing region - The Riverina - often referred to as Australia’s "Garden of Eden." It is the largest wine growing region in New South Wales, producing the highest volume of premium varietal fruit of any major inland grape growing region in Australia.  The Cranswick Estate winery was built in 1976 and is one of the most advanced winemaking facilities in Australia. This award winning Semillon (it received the trophy for Best Riverina Semillon for the past three years) is oak aged after fermentation in roasted American oak barrels, enhancing it’s strong balance, full flavor and clean acid finish.
Cranswick Estate Semillon Chardonnay retails for about $7.00-$8.00. For more information about South Australia -
