{screwcap, 13%} Simple wine; a spash of tropical fruits hefted along with a dash of sugar, and relying almost entirely on the alcohol for it's structure, being almost acid free. One sip is enough.

A good value Tassie Sauv Blanc. Light straw in the glass with an aromatic floral, tropical fruit, citrus nose that really comes through.

Tasted at winery.Vibrant black currant on the nose. Dry, vibrant, quite a black currant bomb. Delicious.

Wine'n'Things Tasmanian tasting (Coast, Hong Kong) : Exoctic fruit nose; melon, peach palate. A little soft.

{screwcap, 13.5%} Pretty mainstream sauvignon. A little bit of the gooseberry/asparagus qualities, not so sharp as the old style Marlborough offerings, but thankfully lacks the passionfruit-sweet aspect that seems so prevalent nowadays. Simple palate; not too acidic but not flabby either; decent unthinking quaffing drinking for a hot day (not Hobart today, incidentally!)

Subtle hints of melon on the nose. Grassy, tart lemon citrus with a slight creamy aspect over piercing citrus. OK for food.

Bright clean fruit. Nice gooseberry along with some tropical fruit flavors. Bright, with clean acidity.
