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)

Located in the picturesque North Island of New Zealand, Te Mata produces a Chardonnay that has ripe stonefruit and citrus characters along with a rich and textural mouthfeel. Fermented in seasoned oak barrels to produce a creamy, rich and elegant wine.

Marc Brédif Vouvray is a stylish Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley in France. Very intense and fruity nose with notes of white flowers and quince. A unique wine in that they have the ability to age for many decades, developing palate weight and honeyed complexity as they age.

Brokenwood Pinot Gris is sourced from a wonderful vineyard site in Beechworth that allows this rich and textural Pinot Gris to show its true colours. Aromas and flavours of peach, melon, honeysuckle and candied pear are all present in a delicious true Gris style.

Henschke Julius is a classic expression of Eden Valley Riesling. An almost perfect vintage has provided the citrus blossom and lime aromas and an intense minerally structure which will develop for a decade at least.

One of the best value Margaret River Chardonnays out there. Michael Kerrigan is doing an amazing job producing Chardonnays of elegance. Hay Shed Hill has delicate grapefruit and stone fruit flavours on the palate. And these flavours are matched with fine, minerally acidity with suble oak towards the finish.

Nugan Durif exhibits aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and cherry with hints of aniseed and all-spice. A full-bodied wine displaying soft chewy tannins and a youthful fine acid balance with a generous palate of dark cherry and plum pudding with dusty chocolate, earth and spice. Durif is otherwise known as Petit Syrah.

Col Fondo Prosecco undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle and isnt disgorged. The flavoursome leesy sediment dances on the bottom, hence col fondo, literally meaning from the bottom. This is how Italian prosecco used to be crafted before industrialisation turned it into mostly cheap fizz made in stainless steel tanks. This is complex, refreshing, lightly fizzy with plenty of acidity keeping it alive and kicking.
