Xanadu, Margaret River (Western Australia) Sauvignon Blanc / Semillon “Circa 77” 2023 ($19)

Here is a solid value in a wine that tempers its southern hemisphere Sauvignon Blanc exuberance with 30% Semillon in the mix, adding some tropical and stony mineral tones to the citrus and grass that you would expect. It is very pleasant, and it offers a wide range of pairing possibilities. From fish to fowl, this is a friend.
