From the Langhorne Creek region in South Australia, this is a very good value Sauv. Blanc, if perhaps a little young. The nose is fresh and delicious, with grassy pear aromas, and an underlying fruitiness that unfortunately is not strongly reflected in the palate. It is full of passionfruit, green capsicum and green apple, which is lovely and refreshing, though possibly a little more acidic than I would have liked. I think this would mellow over a year or two in the bottle, but it's perfectly good to drink now, too. Pair it with an oily, flavoursome fish such as mackerel, and you'll be laughing.
Price: $17 a bottle.
Food: Something full of fishy flavours, such as smoked mackerel, or bouillabaisse.
