The Spitfire showed lovely ripe tropical fruits, with only a hint of capsicum and gooseberry; but stunning, integrated acidity that went great with spicy Hunan food!! Glad I didn't wait any longer to open it up...

New Zealand Kim Crawford's Sauvignon Blanc is a complex fun wine by the bottle that holds a lot of grapefruit and green pepper notes with some grassy notes.

High acid. Obvious grassy notes with tomato leaf and green pepper. Undertones of grapefruit skin.

I loved this bottle! Pear, straw, and a slight hint of petrol. Definitely worth a try ;)
