The Wine Front – "Has that stewed rhubarb scent and flavour with blackcurrants, cassis, violets in the mix. Floral in a way, pretty too, lively to taste, lifted on edgy acidity and feeling a little unsettled but ultimately vibrant and crisp as a medium weight red wine. Cruises along ok, sits in the glass with easy pleasure and freshness, some detail, a lick of tannin, an edginess. OK. Nothing fancy here but delivers satisfaction and integrity for the bucks, it feels." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

Adelaide Hills
The Adelaide Hills is one of the largest geographical wine regions in Australia, and amongst the most diverse in terms of climate, soil and topography. Because of this, many different varietals are planted here with the most dominant being Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. It is generally thought of as a cooler region, especially when compared to neighbouring Barossa to the north and Mclaren vale and Langhorne Creek to the south.
NZ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has been popular in Australia for a while now, but Adelaide hills Sauvignon Blanc (the most planted grape in the region) could be considered the Aussie Savvy Blanc. From www.adelaidehillswine.com.au about their Sauvignon Blanc: “Wines that are textured, edgy, vibrant and dry with exceptional fruit definition, length and crispness that marry superbly with summer seafood.”
You can also find some cool climate shiraz from the Adelaide hills, defying the more common big bold style that is usually seen in Australian Shiraz.
