Citrus, melon, a bit creamy on second sip. Grassy on the finish.

TSWC. Very enjoyable drinking which also didn’t mind being slightly warm

White Bordeaux style from Western AUS - heck yeah! At $10 this is a phenomenal deal, made me recall fondly how well these varietals play together. Crisp clean well-balanced with just the right amount of fruit/herby mix, keeps you on your toes.

Nice muted melon and citrus. Drank side by side with the Brancott Estates Sauvignon Blanc, which we liked better. It was crisper.

Nice value Bordeaux blend. Sauvignon Blanc dominated, but fresh grapefruit flavors are nicely balanced with the less sour Semillon. A great buy.

I don't normally care for Sav Blanc but this was pretty good.

Tart with lots of zippy acidity. Smells more sauvignon then semillion. Sharp citrus / grapefruit flavors with a hint of quinine.
