Specific mention must go to the highly recommended:
Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2008: Aromas of passionfruit and lemon, refreshing and zesty with greener characters of snow pea and green bean, lightly grassy herbaceousness, green melon and jasmine. "The racy tang and exciting flavour of fresh passionfruit plus the mid palate richness missing in too many Aussie sauv blancs!" - Canberra Times. "Elegant and crisp, with cleary defined varietal fruit on bouquet and palate, ranging through grassy to passionfruit notes; good length and finish." - James Hallidays, Australian Wine Companion
