Mike Alyward has made a bit of a habit of crafting one of our most sought after Pinot Gris in recent times and the current vintage rates as one of his finest. It has a delicious mouth-filling texture, courtesy of some lees aging in old barriques and seamlessly combines fresh floral and pear notes with hints of honeyed complexity.

A spot-on balance of flintiness and flesh in this smashable Yarra Chardonnay made by Kirilly Gordon.

Thoroughly refreshing and classy, this is a 93pt, great Value Yarra Valley beauty from an "outrageously successful Yarra Valley winery... run by husband-and-wife team Leanne De Bortoli and Steve Webber but owned by the De Bortoli family" (Halliday). "... a complex touch of freshly struck match to go with the ripe, white nectarines and pink grapefruit scents. Fills out nicely on the generous yet nicely structured and poised palate. Unbeatable value" (Philip Rich, The Halliday Wine Companion).

This Pinot Gris from 6ft6 exhibits classic varietal characters of pear, honey suckle, apple and lime. The palate offers balanced delicate fruit with a cleansing finish. It is ideal when partnered with seafood and summer salads.

Toolangi is a state forest just outside Healesville that was devastated during Black Saturday. The excellent vineyards remain, and continue to produce wines of personality and place. The Chardonnay combines varietal characters of quince and crab apple with some delicious nutty oak nuances. Its great value.

Pacha Mama has put down roots, out in the sticks, amidst the vines of Yarra Glen. This Chardonnay celebrates its Yarra Valley home. It's vibrant, yet complex. There's a bit of fruit, burnt matchsticks mingle with melon and citrus. It's all about harmony and balance.
