Where does Fifth Leg come from? Fifth Leg was born from the Devil's Lair cave - a famous archaeological site not far from the Devil's Lair winery - where fossilised remains of a Tasmanian tiger were found, together with a mysterious extra leg. The 2015 Fifth Leg Semillon Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing wine with lovely texture and balance. It's full of zesty, vivacious fruit with tropical notes of lychee and passionfruit.

Winefront 93 points. Reflecting the mixed planting of old vines, a complex and intriguing aromatic mix of atypical muscat aromas with white peach and nectarine, honeydew, lemon sorbet and grapefruit pith. A firm palate of ruby grapefruit astringency combined with nervy acidity, homemade lemonade sweet and sour balance give a truly eclectic, unconventional white wine.

James Halliday 96 points. How can McWilliams deliver perfectly cellared, aged gems like this? This wine is drop dead delicious. Fresh and floral, not a hint of heaviness.

Wine Front 93 points. Jancis Robinson 16.5/20. "Pale greenish gold. Very direct, refreshing and somehow 'mineral' on the nose. Super juicy and succulent. Massive acidity and more than a hint of bone dry lime juice. Very racy and reverberant on the finish. Very youthful but jam packed with flavour despite its low alcohol. This should take on ever more layers."

96 Points - Jane Faulkner - Halliday's Wine Companion As if by alchemy, with age semillon slips into a toasty, butter brioche, lime-marmalade and waxy realm without its acidity wavering. This certainly has freshness and plenty of years ahead of it, but that magical 5-years-before-release-date includes all the other complex stuff. 95 Points - Huon Hooke - The Real Review Medium yellow colour. Straw, hay and subtle lemon juice aromas; some nuttiness. The palate is delicate and intense, refined and tight, dry and long. It’s still remarkably youthful and has a long career ahead of it. The palate is pin-point precise and searingly intense....

A terrificly vibrant and complex blend of three Rhone white varietals; Marsanne, Roussanne & Viognier. “Ravishing in all the textural and characterful complexity of whole bunch pressing, extended skin contact and partial new oak maturation, this is a blend that upholds the character of its three varieties with magnificent precision. To achieve all this with crunch, zest, vibrancy and persistence takes wizardry indeed. The result is one of the best warm climate white blends going.” - Tyson Stelzer 93 points. 2017 Vintage Tasting notes A layered & thought-provoking blend inspired by the whites of the Rhone Valley. The underlying rich...
