In the generic London tasting I found the Rieslings particularly good (surprise, surprise) and was glad to see evidence that current styles may be a little less austere than they have been in some recent vintages.
I was also extremely impressed by a couple of Sauvignon Blancs. Shaw + Smith’s prowess with this fashionable variety is hardly news, but Terre à Terre of Wrattonbully, the new label from ex-Bollinger Xavier Bizot, seems to have introduced, or at least suggested, a completely new direction for Australian Sauvignon.
