Variety: Sauvignon Blanc, Verdelho
Country of origin: Australia
Wine appellation: Langhorne Creek, South Australia
Vintage: 20012
Alcohol content: 12.0%
Color: very pale yellow
Bouquet: grassy supported by lime and hint of green apples, surprisingly quite fresh
Taste: light to medium body, very fresh style lime, green apple, white currant, slightly flatter in the mouth, but better at the crispier finish with hint of white grapefruit, medium to slightly longer finish
Recommended food pairing: fish
Overall score: 3.5+7.5+11.5+5.5+5+50=83
Price: CZK 200 on sale 
Stopper: Screw cap
Very zesty and fresh style of wine, it is not tropical at all, it must have been picked very early as the main character is lime in both nose and taste supported by green apples and hint of herby character in the nose. Although this should be the export range I found the wine in au web showing the price of 16 AUD, hence it is cheaper to buy it here like many Australien wines due to overproduction in homeland:-) I personally prefer their standard non export range such as the Verdelho tasted in April 2013.
