This is very light. While the label indicates it is a Barossa Botrytis Semillon, there does not seem to be much in the way of botrytis. Not very sweet -- light --pale gold color. For those who think desert wines are too sweet, this might be your thing. Since I really enjoy heavy, rich, syrup-like desert wines, this was not my thing. Probably a great value for the price, however, considering its only $9.00. Seemed fine -- nothing special. A light honey taste, clean finish -- not bad/not great. Overall, a good value.

Clear light yellow/green color.Fruit aroma & flavor. A smooth dry, somewhat acidic wine. Very refreshing. Will try cellaring for years 5&6 (2007 & 2008) to see if it mellows out with "honey" flavors.Tasted today at a wine tasting and bought 2 bottles to lay down.

Pale yellow; wet stones, talcum powder, hint of mown grass; deceptively soft, tangy, fresh; taut, snappy finish. 14+

Pale green colour. Fruity aromas, apple and lime on the palate. Prolonged length, with enough acidity for ageing. Good.
