Victoria Australia 2006
One of my current faves at the moment - crisp, aromatic and dry, the wine displays lemon, lime and tropical aromas with a touch of white peach, melon-like mouth-filling flavours, an excellent fine acid structure and a lingering, stylish finish.

Riesling Lalla Gully
Pipers River, Tasmania 2003
Splashes of white flowers and fresh limes lift the nose while a nice softness tampers any exuberance on the palate. Lovely stuff and quite captivating. 12.5% alcohol. Scribblings Rating - 90/100

Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc Cape Mentelle
Margaret River Australia 2005
Aromas of zesty lime and pawpaw fruits, fresh snowpeas and fragrant citrus blossoms are overlaid with hints of blackcurrant. The foreground features lively lemon and lime zest with crunchy sugar snap peas and wheatgrass. Generous texture and fruit weight is well balanced by long and even citrus acidity.

Drinking so well right now! an unctuously rich texture supports aromas of honeysuckle, rose petals and juicy litchi fruit.Flavors unfold on the mid palate with subtle notes of nut shell and nut butter on the back. Very complex and showing lots of elegance right now, a reflection of the marl and alluvium soil of the Russian River Valley.

Viognier De Gras ‘Reserva’
Colchagua Valley, Chile 2004
A little bit of rocket fuel! a late harvested style which has been fermented dry - possibly an experiment by this producer, who is better known for their lovely Merlot Reserve. Highly textured, full bodied and showing the full impact of its barrel fermentation. It's got a creaminess on the nose that is quite compelling, with peaches and cream aromas and flavors to match - but like any vamp, it has a bite! 15% alcohol gets a bit hot on the back if the wine is allowed to come down in temperature, however it's still a decent, if stout little number. Make sure you order up some calimari before she puts you down.

Gewürztraminer-Riesling ‘Santa Digna’ Miguel Torres
Chile 2005
Blended with 12% Riesling, it's a nice light quaffer. Light bodied with fresh aromas of blooming flowers and herbal tea. A note of lemon drop gives away the Riesling, which lends a nice citrus acidic structure, making it a fine match for just about any light meal, even salads.

Morey-Saint-Denis Domaine Dujac
France, 2002
A rarity - a white burgundy from Morey-Saint-Denis, the most northern village in the Cotes de Nuits - better known for their reds, and where most of the Grands Crus are located. Dujac is named simply for its proprietor, Jacques Seysses, who still makes the wine along with his son Jeremy, who is in charge of the white wine production. This wine is a firmly structured example of what excellent Burgundy can and should be: judicious use of new oak frames a smoky, nutty and mineral core, giving up aromas of nut butter, toffee and fresh cream. A complex finish unfolds with layers of spice, tea, french vanilla, lime and baked apple. A real stunner! (Cellar temperature, please allow ten minutes to chill)
