My tasting note doesn’t sound particularly complementary, but it’s more a reflection of my ambivalence towards most cheap Australian Sauvignon Blanc. $18 can buy a bottle of Pewsey Vale Rizza or a Tahbilk Marsanne or a Meerea Park Epoch Sem or…

Just a tinge of yellow to the green colour, with bubbles of CO2. Lemon, Splice, talc and guava on fleshy nose. Palate is citrussy, soft and dry with biting citrussy acidity on the tail, but also with some harshness to the finish too. One dimensional. Not a bad Savvy and refreshing enough, just not my sort of wine. 16.8
