SMIDGE Houdini Sauvignon Blanc 2010

18 Jun


Grape
                              : Sauvignon Blanc
Country of Origin : Australia (South)
Region                           : Adelaide Hills
Vintage                          : 2010
Alcoholic Content : 13%

Damage to my purse : Bought 2 bottles of this wine from a wine distributor at S$36 each.

Characteristic :
Golden lemon (in colour).  The bouquet was rather restrained.  The palate has a mineral edge, with citrus-y fruits and good acidity, and long and subtle finish.

MY TAKE : Tasted some really outstanding Sauvignon Blanc from a small wine producer (the Barratt) while I was at the Adelaide Hills a couple of years back.  This was also the reason why I bought 2 bottles of the Smidge Houdini Sauv Blanc (from the same region) even though I was not much of a white wine drinker.  This wine was good (but not outstanding).  While blogging about this, I came to realise that I need to drink up the other bottle quickly  since its recommended shelf-life is not more than 2 years.
