2011 First Creek Orange Sav Blanc

2011 First Creek Orange Sav Blanc from Lismore (NSW, Australia) Dan Murphy's smells of passion fruit, but tastes of grapefruit and green apple. It's a very pale, clear light lime in colour. The wine-making team has woman as co-leader, Liz Jackson. First Creek is a Hunter Valley winery, but they select 'fruit from renowned vineyards … where the variety excels'. They say Orange is developing as 'the region of choice for this variety'. The label could be much more distinctive or artful for such an intriguing name. Around $20 to $25.
