Penfolds Max's Chardonnay
Penfolds Maxs Chardonnay is a tribute to former Chief Winemaker Max Schubert, a legend in Penfolds history. Pale straw in colour with green hues, this wine has a very nice textural and creamy palate with a soft line of acid fading ever so slowly to a distant palate horizon.
Pizzini La Famiglia Arneis
The 2024 Pizzini La Famiglia Arneis from the renowned King Valley in Victoria is a true gem. With its pale straw color and hints of green, this wine is immediately alluring. On the nose, delicate aromas of white peach, citrus, and honeysuckle blend perfectly with subtle notes of almond and honey. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and refreshing, with a medium body and crisp acidity. Flavors of juicy pear, lemon zest, and a touch of minerality dance on the tongue, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This vintage truly captures the essence of the Arneis grape, showcasing the pure fruit flavors and elegance this variety is known for. Enjoy this wine with seafood dishes or on its own as an aperitif. Cheers to the Pizzini family for another exceptional vintage!
The Story Whitlands King Valley Riesling
Fabulous, great value King Valley Riesling with scores of 93 and 95pts. From winemaker Rory Lane at 5 Red Star-rated The Story Wines, situated in Victoria's Grampians region. “Light colour and a complex, possibly barrel-influenced bouquet that is multi-faceted and charming, at the same time obvious varietal riesling. Mouth-watering acidity and a crisp, intense, dry balance on the palate. Utterly delicious riesling in a more adventurous style. There's a judicious touch of sweetness in the centre, then sherbety acidity completes the balance beautifully. This would be great with a serious chill. 95pts” (Huon Hooke, The Real Review) “Red apple flavours drive assertively through the palate, aided and emboldened by limey acidity. A gentle sweetness to the fruit helps to soften the palate, the end result a highly enjoyable drink.93pts. Great Value” ( Campbell Mattinson, The Halliday Wine Companion)

From one of Rutherglen's best producers, this Muscat is terrific value. It shows characters of caramel, toffee, hazelnuts and brown sugar.
