You've probably met other fresh, fruity wines from Australia's larger than life Johnny Q. He likes them to have immediate appeal, but also to go the distance. That's certainly true of Caravan – a Sauvignon with grassy freshness and tropical fruit.

John Quarisa, aka Johnny Q, is a terrific winemaker, creating wines that, like him, can be lively and highly charged. In his Caravan series of wines, he likes to think of a grape that changes in style as it travels. So that here, Sauvignon Blanc grown in his Riverina vineyards produces a wine still with loads of grassy fresh zip, but along the way, has developed more tropical fruit flavours too. That is peach, pineapple and passionfruit! He insists on night harvested grapes to ensure lots of bright fresh flavours and cool ferments them for the same reason. This wine is already a Gold-medal winner (times two!) and deserves a place in your fridge. Chill down and enjoy as a glass on its own, with spicy Thai dishes, or creamy noodles.
