We came across Koonara at the Sydney Good Food & Wine show a couple of years ago, and they immediately became one of our favourite wineries. A small family-run affair in the Coonawarra, with low yields, they make some absolutely terrific wines.
This Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, we'd never tasted, but knowing how good their Sauv. Blanc was, and it being on special at the local wine shop, we bought a few bottles on spec, and weren't disappointed. It's very easy to drink, and drinks best young, so our few bottles didn't last long!
The nose is lovely and smoothly buttery, but mildly so, with aromas of citrus and tropical fruits lending it some nice freshness. The palate is passionfruit and pear, and a lovely tingly acidity from the Sauv. Blanc, balanced by the nuttiness of the Semillon.
Food: Great with fish, salads, or by itself!
Price: Normally around $20 in the shops, though we paid $13, and it's $15 from the cellar door.
