Salmon wine pairing - no French or USA wines

A great Canadian riesling from Niagara is Cave Spring Indian Summer Select Late Harvest Riesling 2007 . It is almost into the icewine range of sweetness but the acidity more than holds it own to pair up with salmon. pushing the edge of your $ range though about 25$ for a half bottle.

Cabernet Franc in Australia

The variety is used in a similar way to its use in France, mainly as a blending variety, but by quite a significant number as a straight varietal.

Is it an alternative variety? This is controversial. It's use as a blending partner is certainly not, but there is an argument that the use of the variety to make varietals is alternative.
