    I'm not sure there is a standard Australian version for this variety. Also, it's the fashion here to look down on SB as they latest trend for the masses while "real" wine drinkers follow the Riesling trend. A good podcast and example:

    can't believe there are TRENDS in wine selection! Each wine is different and they even differ in vintages. Lenka
