If we accept that blackcurrant leaf is the classic Marlborough flavour and asparagus the classic flavour for South Africa then one thing SA has over NZ is that a very high percentage of SA'n sb priced betweeb £5 and £8 is correct in terms of it's flavour. Obviously the more you pay ( in most cases ) the less acidic the wines will be but flavour wise SA is nearly always spot on.

NZ however is almost totally devoid of classic wines between £5 and £8.

Especially now that the Estate Reserve at the CoOp has officially been declared ( by me ) as a myth.

If only I liked asparagus on a sb..........

There's also aging to consider.

NZ SB is mostly produced in a style to be consumed young and fresh. I find NZ SB that has a bit of bottle age (at least eighteen months) begins to develop the asparagus flavours, poor examples go all ‘sherbety’.

SA SB is a bit more risqué and not so predictable.

NO, period. However, I wouldn't mind his position, and I thought all you wine experts might recognise the fellow. Teeeeeny clue in the bi-line.
