Wolf Blass 'Yellow Label' Chardonnay 2007
South Australia $16.00 (226860)
This is an easy-drinking white with a delightful crisp and refreshing approach. Not over-oaked or buttery, this is tight and focused with ripe citrus plus apple and pear flavours throughout. Everything's in synch and it provides good balance with a clean and refreshing finish. This is divine paired with seafood paella. (VH)



Pierre Sparr Gewürztraminer 2006
AOC Alsace $16.05 (373373)
This is a lovely wine bursting with exotic aromas and dripping with full fruit flavours. Perfumed aromas of rosewater, exotic spice and lychee roll off this golden-hued gem. On the palate there's a pleasant warm gusher (14% alcohol) of sweet tropical fruit and peach flavours that are held in check on the lingering finish by a surge of citrus tang. Gorgeous sipped on its own, it pairs exceptionally well with a vegetarian curried stir fry or curried lamb. (VH)
