Phillip Shaw has a long and distinguished history in Australian wine, but has had his dream and vision realised in the form of the Koomooloo property in Orange, NSW. With particular attention paid to the selection of the very best sites and the fruit that best suits these vineyards, wine like this No. 19 Sauvignon Blanc can be created. This Sauv is a wonderful rich, old world style wine that is perfectly partnered with many foods including hearty seafood dishes.

Brilliant very pale straw colour with a watery hue. Aromas of green apple, red apple skin and orange zest have a subtle waxy overlay with hints of pear also evident. Nicely textured the palate opens with pear and red apple skin flavours which overlay a delicate citrusy honeysuckle like back drop. Finishes dry with lively acidity and a tangy aftertaste. Drink over the next 1-2 years. Alc. 12.5%

Glowing green gold in colour, Carillion The Crystals Chardonnay displays aromas of lean fig and pineapple with a subtle layer of grilled cashew. Lean mineral complexity leads into fresh lime and grapefruit held up with hints of vanilla from quality French oak. Perfect for a summer picnic.

Forester Estate Semillon Sauvignon Blanc is a clean, fruit driven wine style showing herbaceous, citrus and lifted floral characters distinct to Margaret River. Those fruit characters are expertly meshed with a long, pristine and lip-smacking acidity that draws out the length of flavour wonderfully. Drink now with good company!

Aromas of rose petal and turkish delight. Silver Moscato is a blend of Muscat and Frontignac and has spent a short time on Shiraz skins to give it a touch of pink.

Bob Campbell Master of Wine writes; 'Quite a concentrated wine with a mix of ripe tree fruit/ nectarine and citrus/ lemon flavours. Very pure with a long and linear finish. Steely dry wine that's very food friendly. Offers value at this price.' Why not judge for yourself.

On the palate, full and textured with a rich creamy texture. There is lychee, lemon thyme, nettle, roasted red capsicum and passionfruit along with balanced cedar oak and wood smoke.

A relatively new name but Dog Point's owners have years of experience in Marlborough and this label is much sought after. This release is beautifully textured rich and delicious.

This Sauvignon Blanc from the Adelaide Hills performs exceptionally well. It produces the right balance of ripe gooseberry fruits, fresh herbs and citrus acidity. Clean, crisp and refreshing, this savvy is a mouthful.

Printhie Sauvignon Blanc is like passionfruit sorbet., wonderfully clean and precise. Has all the drive and intensity of the very best Marlborough Savvy but with added complexity and interest. Get in on the ground floor with this region and it's aromatic white as it is going places in a hurry.

Established in 1996, Printhie has quickly garnered a repuation for quality cool climate wines, even picking up a 5 star rating from James Halliday. Pinot Gris is well suited here with luscious honeysuckle flavours balanced with bracing acidity. Textural mouthfeel adds to the mix of what is a wine to keep an eye on!
