La Bossa Sauvignon Blanc 2011

De Bortoli produces this wine with fruit from South Eastern Australia and a touch of New Zealand stuff thrown in.  I think this is a good marketing move as New Zealand produce some very popular drinking wines from this variety with a unique flavour profile.  This wine definitely tastes like it has a bit of New Zealander in it.

Everything component in this wine comes in little boxes. A little of passion fruit riding on top of a swirl of snow pea purée before a dollop of gooseberry plops in at the end. Nothing takes over and dominates which makes this rather good, especially at this price point. If I had to get down to the nitty gritty then I would say that the flavours after the initial attack the flavours become a bit wishy washy but hay for under the ten buck mark, who cares.
