Chapel Hill Chardonnay
One of the very best Chardonnays doing the rounds from McLaren Vale due to its lighter, slightly austere nature. Citrus melon and fruit-salad aromas give this Chapel Hill Chardonnay an attractive lifted bouquet and the palate is flavoursome fresh and lively. Great drinking!
Konrad Sauvignon Blanc
Wonderful aromas of lime and lemon sherbet with hints of apricot. The palate expresses passionfruit and citrus flavours with a hint of oak influence which adds complexity and roundness. Perfect with Pad Thai.
Pacha Mama Pinot Gris
Sourced from a single vineyard site in the Strathbogie Ranges, ideally suited to growing aromatic and balanced Pinot Gris. The cool nights here allow the fruit to reach optimum ripeness whilst retaining an elegant balance between flavour, alcohol and acidity. This wine by Pacha Mama underwent lees stirring while in barrel, resulting in a buttery richness and complexity that sets the pinot gris style apart from the tighter, more acidic Pinot Grigio. Rich and inviting nose with white musk, fresh quince and honeysuckle. A generous and textural palate, with flavours of crýme brulee, lemon zest and musk, balanced by refreshing acidity and a satisfying, clean finish.
Tulloch Verdelho
Tulloch Verdelho is an exciting aromatic white that was harvested at night to retain the fresh natural acidity found in the quality fruit. The wine itself has honeydew melon notes with a real citrus blossom lift. The long, engaging palate has a real zest to it with a fine acid backbone treating the drinker with a long, crisp finish.
Paringa Estate Riesling
Paringa Estate is known as one of the finest small producers in Australia. Pinot Noir is the flagship variety, they also make Shiraz and Riesling. The fruit for this Riesling comes off 20 year old vines, and makes wine of intense focus, structure and finesse.
Buller Fine Old Topaque
Buller have been producers of some of Rutherglen's most opulent and concentration fortified wines since 1921. Their Fine Old Tokay is a delicious example with a myriad of flavours that include caramel, toffee, Christmas cake and golden syrup. With access to many years of reserve stock, it is remarkable that Buller can make wines of such pedigree and flavour for such a brilliant price.
Wither Hills Chardonnay
Wither Hills Chardonnay is an impressive Marlborough Chardonnay that is loaded with citrus fruits and complimented by creamy French oak. An extremely attractive wine that is suited to a wide range of food matches including the traditional Chicken roast.
Church Road Chardonnay
Church Road are the custodians of a rich and long history in the northern New Zealand region of Hawke's Bay. Having undergone some serious rejuvenation in recent years, Church Road are producing some simply outstanding wines including this moreish Chardonnay. The perfect balance between that textured 'old school' style and some contemporary elegance and finesse, this white is packed full of great mineral acidity and a superb length of flavour.
Kumeu River Pinot Gris
This is a very fine Gris. Its elegant nose shows hints of citrus, grapefruit, musk and apricot while on the palate the wine is structured and remarkably tight with mineral characteristics supporting rich, tropical fruit. The acid is very fresh and the length impeccable.
Allandale Chardonnay
Allandale from the Hunter Valley produce a lovely Chardonnay that has a great full body to it with nuances of peach and apricot and nice level of complexity due to the new American and French oak employed.
