Semillon
Hunter Valley Semillon (NSW, harvested at 10-11° alcohol — style unique in the world, develops toasty notes in bottle 10-15 years without oak) — taut lemon, waxy toast and green herbs magnify whole wood-fire-grilled snapper; sharp acidity from under-ripe grape awakening pearly white flesh, beeswax note echoing crispy skin.
Vermentino
Adelaide Hills Vermentino (gentle Italian grape transposed to cool altitude hills above Adelaide) — lime, green almond, hawthorn flowers and saline marine edge respect grilled snapper steaks; delicate character not overwhelming the fragile southern snapper flesh, salinity mirroring Murray River sea-salt sprinkle and lemon finish.
Chablis
Chablis (Chardonnay on Yonne's Kimméridgian fossilised Jurassic oyster beds) — lemon, flint, green apple and chalky oyster minerality form the classic European option for oven-roasted snapper; fossil minerality echoing the iodine of southern snapper, taut acidity cutting brown butter or hollandaise.
