To paraphrase the late Len Evans, there is an awful lot of sauvignon blanc out there, and there’s a lot of awful sauvignon blanc. So, let me lead you through the maze, as the bishop might have said to the actress.

But seriously, there are some lovely sauvignons. The more concentrated, riper, better-made and more balanced examples from the good vineyard sites almost seem to have come from a different planet to the dross.

This month I’ve uploaded notes on 60 sauvignon blancs and sauvignon blanc/semillon blends, and 30 semillons and ‘sem-sav’ blends. Western Australia leads the charge with the blends, Marlborough with the pure sauvignons. Dog Point (tasting), Hunter’s (tasting), Spy Valley (tasting) and Mount Riley (tasting) carried the banner for Marlborough in this tasting, while Evans & Tate (tasting), Riposte by Tim Knappstein (tasting), Flametree (tasting) and Chain of Ponds (tasting) did the same for the home team.
