Judge a wine by its label. Caligraphy and dark colours on parchment mean expensive, shimmering blue dragonflies mean affordable, summery, and delicious. M and I opened this bottle, among any we could have chosen, chiefly because its exterior appealed to her. Luckily, it was a good choice. From Willow Bridge Estate, a fairly newish winery in the Ferguson Valley, WA, this blend of Sauvingon Blanc (60%) and Semillon (you guessed it, 40%) turns the red clay of the valley into a fresh, fruity, lingering delight. The S mellows the SB, and together they deliver aromas of white peach and passionfruit, and a palate of tropical fruits, lime and pear.
The other flavour I couldn't get away from was fish. Not because the wine tasted like fish, but it transported me instantly to my favourite seafood restaurant. Drink this wine with barramundi, and I guarantee you a taste sensation!
Food: As above.
Price: Between $16 and $20 a bottle.
