2005 MadFish Sauvignon Blanc Semillon

With the season of lazy weekend picnics and warm balmy nights almost upon us, a well stocked fridge is a necessity. So when looking for wines to fill the shelves, this Sauvignon Blanc Semillon blend from MadFish in Western Australia is a great choice. With its quirky, modern packaging, it will slip seamlessly into any casual, summery scene.

The wine shows all the freshness and fruit intensity expected from a blend such as this, but what sets it apart from the rest is its gentle, flavoursome palate. It does not assault the tastebuds in any way, making it perfect for drinking without food. But if you must eat, choose fish, seafood or salads.

Feel confident to explore the rest of the MadFish range – the Riesling is particularly outstanding.
