Tasman Bay - Chardonnay, Colombard, Sauvignon Blanc Blend

So this is the first blog, and I questioned whether to start with a bottle that was something a little bit special, but that just defeats the point of what I am trying to do. Perhaps at some sort of milestone, if there is any, I will treat myself to a nice French red, but for now, and with no shame I want to introduce:

Tasman Bay - Chardonnay, Colombard, Sauvignon Blanc Blend. An Australian white wine from their Reserve Collection.

What it says on the bottle:

Region: South Eastern Australia
Character: Our fresh and fruity Winemaker's Reserve Selection from South Eastern Australia shows crisp lime and fresh peach notes on the nose, opening up into delicious melon flavours on the palate. A perfect party wine, as well as a great accompaniment to pork, chicken and meaty fish dishes.
Cellaring: Best enjoyed within 12 months.

What I think:

A very crisp white with enjoyable flavours. I am not going to claim to be an expert and describe every element, but there clearly are peach and melon notes to this bottle. This is one which will go well with lighter meals, or simply as a wind down glass after a long or tough day.

Hopefully as I drink more wine and publish more blogs, my thoughts should become longer and my palate better.

I would also hope to start some sort of rating system, but it is almost impossible to rate the first few.

Where you can buy it:

Well I have managed to get the first link up. Sainsburys, is where I bought a case as it was on special. I'm sure it is also available in Tesco, ASDA and wine merchants.

Regular price seems to be around £8.99, but I managed to pick it up on a half price offer.
