WITH warmer days not too far off, for many of us our thoughts will soon be turning to alfresco dining and a glass or two of lower alcohol whites to enjoy with summery seafoods and salads in the middle of the day.<\/div>\n

Chateau Tanunda have come up with just such a drop, a ripper of a crisp dry white that’s just 10.5% alcohol \u2013 nearly a third under the normal \u2013 that almost explodes with spritzy lemon and lime flavours coupled with a lively touch of grapefruit and watermelon.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
This 2007 Grand Barossa Classic Crisp Dry White wine is best served well chilled and lives up nicely to its “crisp” labelling; at $18 it’s just the drop to share outdoors with a seafood platter and salad, or simply fish and chips.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
ANOTHER FOR LUNCH: MILDARA have been making wine since the late 1800s, and have been producing true-to-variety wines from the Coonawarra region since the 1950s.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Amongst their latest from this renowned area is a Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz from the rewarding 2005 vintage that gave winemakers fruit with exceptionally ripe-fruit flavours and generous tannins; this wine has rich dark berry fruit flavours with a sweet cinnamon spiciness and light vanillin on the palate.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Pay $28.99 and team it with a mixed grill accompanied by boiled tiny potatoes tossed in melted butter and sprinkled with Tuscan herbs.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
WINE OF THE WEEK: IF there’s a party on the horizon and you’re going to need a few bottles of bubbles, give serious thought to De Bortoli’s new Emeri Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc that at just $13.99 is loaded with soft tropical fruit flavours and a creaminess that will go with all manner of party-room finger food. And if for some reason you’re looking for just a couple of celebratory glasses on your own, it also comes in a handy 200ml miniature at just $5.49.<\/div>\n

CLASSIC: This crisp dry white is nearly a third lighter in alcohol and ideal with midday seafood salads or fish ‘n chips.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
THINK about a mixed grill with Tuscan-herbed tiny potatoes to partner this exceptional Coonawarra red.<\/div>\n
