Gooseberry fool aroma. Fruity, quite sweet and easy wine.

Finest* Olifants River Sauvignon Blanc 2012 £7.99

Finest* Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc 2012 £9.99
Vergelegen
Quite a reduced nose. Very match-boxy. Light and pleasant. Savoury, with some texture. Rather good apart from the nose, which would lift with a bit of decanting.

NZSB Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2012 £8.49
Sacred Hill Wines
Nice peapoddy aroma. Hey, this is nice. Bright, gooseberry and a touch of asparagus, but green, fresh and moreish.

Quirky Bird Chenin Semillon Muscat 2012 £6.99
Accolade Wines
A hint of muscat on the nose. This carries through into the palate. It's not bad at all. The aftertaste is muscat, but dry. Quite good. Slightly prefer the Sauv/Sem/Nouvelle.

Simply Chenin Blanc NV £3.99
Origin Wines
A hint of wet wool on the nose. Actually, this is pretty good for the money. Light, fresh, easy to drink and very cheap.

I thought the NZSB was strange and definitely not one I would go back to.
