This 2016 SSB (Semillon & Sauvignon Blanc) is a new release from the team at Alkoomi Wines in the Great Southern. Many thanks to Sandy & Rod for sending this sample up, it was a lovely accompaniment to our wholewheat spaghetti cabonara with mint - the crisp flavours in the wine cut through the pasta and Parmesan to compliment the fresh peas so nicely.
It's a pale yellow in the glass with a slight tinge of rose grey - however the lighting was bad so this could just be my eyes! Fresh passionfruit, pineapple, melon and orange citrus rise from the glass with a nice touch of minerality - it's so vibrant and fruit forward that it made me feel like summer is nearly here! In the mouth it was like biting into an apple - crisp, juicy and so easy drinking it's criminal. For $15 it's a great everyday white wine.
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #tcweekdaywine #mediasample #gifted
