Yalumba Oxford Landing Sauvignon Blanc
You read about the 2005 here last year, and now you’ll be delighted to learn the 2006 is even better. How is this possible without spending twice this amount? I have no idea, but you can bet your $9 that you’ll fool your friends." Tyson Stelzer, style north, November 2006 (AUS)
"You won’t find better value for money anywhere in the under-$10 pricepoint, full stop. Zesty, fruit-driven and delicious." Grant Dodd, Australian Golf Digest, December 2006 (AUS)
"One of a small number of sauv blancs for less than $10 with recognisable – if mild to modest – varietal character. Clean, crisp, versatile and refreshing at a value price."
Paddy Kendler, 50 Fantastic Wines, Herald Sun, September 19, 2006 (AUS)
"Quaffing – Don’t imagine this sav is as good as the poncy Marlborough or Adelaide Hills versions, but at half the price it’s much better than half as good. It’s citric, floral and zesty with a decent acid crunch; chill it well and it serves its mission admirably." Greg Duncan Powell, The Sydney Morning Herald, October 7-8, 2006 (AUS)
"Lime-leafy, capsicum, and stalky varietal aromas lead into a slightly green but pleasantly flavoured palate that succeeds without excessive sweetness and is good value for money. Drink now. 85/100 Food sushi and sashimi" Huon Hooke, Good Living, September 5, 2006 (AUS)
4 STARS - "This youngster may be largely one-dimensional with its dominant citrus fruit lightly touched with traces of passionfruit and green grass, but it's certainly clean, crisp and refreshing, versatile with food and widely available at a bargain price. A handy white for casual meals." Paddy Kendler, Quaffing, Herald Sun, July 11, 2006
"There's citrus and passionfruit with a splash of grassy charachter in this fresh young white with a crisp finish. Enjoy it now with Asian dishes or fresh seafood." Mike Frost, labels, The Courier-Mail, July 4, 2006
88 Points - "This wine has clear and clean varietal fruit in a tropical, passionfruit spectrum. It is light with a crisp finish: remarkable for the region. A well-balanced wine." James Halliday, The Weekend Australian (AUS), July1-2, 2006
