Popular brand down under from Fosters Wine Estates debuts in Ontario, offering very good value. No great complexity or depth, but squeaky clean, light, bright, fresh and balanced. Fairly generous peach-apple fruit, lemon, exotic ginger and a touch of dusty cement mindful of Spanish cava. Moderate length.
