De Bortoli Windy Peak Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2008 (Victoria)
Screwcap, $16
From this budget end of the spectrum, right through to the Reserve range, De Bortoli has to be the most consistent performer in the country - every wine, without fail, is top class and especially at the lower end, outperforms its often modest price point.
Green, almost transparent in colour, the nose is grassy tending to citrus & some musky florals. Lovely, fresh, light, Savvy dominated nose - Perfect for this price point. The palate is light and faintly tropical, with this very attractive, soft, yet taut & pristinely fresh, grapey fruit character that is delicate and fragrant. Dry and very well built for a budget wine, this is excellent value. 17.1
