Shop Review: This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple, and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls, or grilled tilapia with mango salsa (Vintage Cellar). 

Personal Review: The nose of the Smoking Loon Sauvignon Blanc was fruity and fresh, with a hint of floral aromas. It had a lot of tropical qualities to it. The aroma that stood out the most to me where the green apples. The taste of this was equally refreshing and had soft tannins. On the palate, I detected a bit of melon. This crisp wine would be perfect for sipping on during a nice spring or summer day.
