Hints of kiwifruit and an undertone of white peach embraced by bright acidity giving it a fresh finish. Refreshing and dry, this wine matches perfectly with most dishes from crisp, fresco salads to fresh fish tacos with all the jalapeños. The King River flows down from the heights of Victoria’s Alpine region and has done so for millennia, slowly building a fertile plain of mineral rich alluvial soils. These soils are the broken-down bones of Victoria’s famous high-country. Cool air follows the river down from the mountains, settling in the valley and slowing the ripening of the fruit on the vines that sit alongside the majestic river. This cool climate produces subtle but complex wines that are beautifully balanced and finely structured.

Arneis, a crisp, crunchy, spicy Italian white originating from Piedmont, Italy, traditionally made without oak. Dal Zotto are owned and managed by the Dal Zotto family where their vineyards, winery and cellar door lie cradled in the tranquil King Valley in the foothills of the spectacular Victorian Alps of northeast Victoria. Their Arneis shows all the trademark lifted aromatics and crunchy acidity of its Italian cousins. Enjoy with great company and a plate of seared scallops.

You'll enjoy sipping this lip-smacking Victorian Grigio. It's crisp and refreshing with lifted aromas green apple and nashi pear, with lemon and white flowers. It's bright, balanced citrussy palate is very refreshing. If you’re travelling to northeast Victoria, All Saints with its hand-built castle is “a must-stop for any visitor in the region... owned and managed by 4th-generation Brown family members Eliza, Angela and Nick.” (Halliday).

Great for any occasion, Aussie Prosecco from the King Valley often shines. Perhaps no surprise as the region is home to many winemakers with Italian family backgrounds. This is a nicely-balanced, elegant, Italy-meets-Aus fizz, that lends a celebratory air to everyday occasions.

Scorpo produces another excellent example of Pinot Gris from the Mornington Peninsula. Lifted aromas of pear apricot and green apple lead into a palate rich and silky in texture, the flavours showing depth and complexity, the acidity in perfect balance.

Single Vineyard high altitude Chardonnay from the King Valley is harvested in the early morning cool hours and pressed immediately to maximise the vineyards flavour. Full rich aromas of lemon and peach and gentle oak. The complexity of this Chardonnay is the result of partial barrel fermentation in new, French oak barriques, followed by stirring of the yeast lees for several months. Bursting with white peach, lychee and melon, the crisp finish and length of flavour define this wine.
