Description: A light colour. Limes, lemons, grapefruit, lychees and a touch of kero on the nose. The palate was bitingly acidic with great fruit intensity and length. A great example of cool climate Riesling which should continue to improve for years.

caramel on the finish. Fabulous wine. Drink the latest vintage. Dancing Bull Sauvignon Blanc, 2004, Rancho Zabaco, California, USA All the minerality and freshness of Sauvignon Blanc from great parts of the Loire like Pouilly Fum, yet this wine is from California. Restrained asparagus, apple, and herb flavors swirl around a firm and intense stony core. SPARKLING Anderson Valley Brut, NV, Roederer Estate, California, USA From the makers of Cristal in Champagne, this wine is one of the best New World sparkling wines on the market today. It is the closest thing youll find to Champagne outside of that renowned French region and tastes rich with the hallmarks of Louis Roederer`s exquisite Champagnes biscuity flavors, toasted brioche, cooked apple, and hints of vanilla, nuts, and butter. Fresh, almost voluptuous, and very refined. 294 1000 BEST WINE SECRETS Australian Wine & Brandy Corporation http://www.awbc.com.au Australian Government: The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade http://www.dfat.gov.au Brigitte Batonnet Comit Interprofessionnel du Vin de Champagne France 5, rue Henri Martin 51200 Epernay France Appendix B: Resources Hal Bibby Amberley & Inniskillin Brand Manager Vincor Australia Pty Ltd (incorporating Goundrey & Amberley) 680 Murray Street PO Box 909,West Perth,WA 6872 Australia
