Compensating virtue (6,5)

I believe the answer is:

saving grace

(Other definitions for saving grace that I've seen before include "Compensatory good point" , "a description of Miss Darling?" , "What stops one condemning" , "Redeeming feature" , "Redeeming quality" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
