| Forty-Two Degree’s South is a new brand belonging to a familiar name in the Tasmanian wine industry ; Hood Wines. It is now being used instead of the company’s Wellington label , so right from the start you know the wine is going to be very user-friendly. NV Sparkling Chardonnay A blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40 % Pinot Noir from Campania (Coal Valley, Southern TAS) and Relbia (Northern TAS). Aroma’s of toasty brioche and delicate citrus subtly emerge from the fine beads. Full and crisp flavours of apples and strawberries linger on a refined acid structure. 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Practically a year in bottle, the wine is nonetheless fresh and vibrant with zippy acidity, very good length and a herby citrussy flavour. Mark Smith’s Autumn Selections, Issue 48, March 2008 2005 Chardonnay Beautifully aromatic, the palate intense, fruity and full-flavoured with crisp citrussy acid providing elegance, great balance, length and freshness. Lovely drinking, top value and an excellent food wine.
