You could try the Cru Select Platinum from Spagnols - that should be
the same price as the Winexpert and same quality level. I've done the
Aus Chard this year and it's looking pretty good, likely the best kit
white I've done. That was the one that went down to around 0.990 -
think it was CY3079 and am not sure right now, would have to check my
notes.
