In the vineyard, leaves were removed from around the fruiting zone to allow light penetration and air movement around the ripening bunches. Parcels of fruit were picked when flavours, sugars and grape acids were nicely in balance, giving fruit wit...

This Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine is a fresh and lively style with a persistent and fine bead. Aromas of grapefruit and lime interplay with delicate floral notes, and background hints of toasty, yeasty characters. The palate starts with lemony...

Colour - Pale straw / yellow Aroma - Ripe and intense aromas of white peach, gooseberry and passionfruit. There is a lime and floral component which lifts the aromatics, along with typical herbaceous characters of grass and thyme. Palate -...

A pale colour with bright green highlights is matched by a fresh, almost perky nose of white flowers, honeydew melon and peach. The palate displays elegant stone and tropical fruit flavours but is primarily about texture. The rich mouth-filling...

The fiftieth anniversary of the revival of this ancient vineyard is denoted by a generous and rich expression of red apple, kaffir lime zest, nutmeg and the signature minerality of Pewsey.

Castle Rock is one of those wineries to watch, located not far from Mt. Barker in W.A. Rob Diletti is the star winemaker doing great things and still remembers working his first vintage at the winery aged six. Some things must have stuck in the he...

Yeringberg is one of the oldest and authentic wineries in the Yarra Valley having produced wines there since the early seventies. It is as traditional as you can imagine, wine tastings are by appointment, there’s no fancy cellar door and certainly...

Really good Riesling, under a tenner can be very hard to find. But that is exactly what we have got right here, with all of the fresh, crisp fruit you’d expect from young Riesling plus just a little honeyed toast poking though giving plenty of int...

It’s not fair that Sauvignon Blanc seems to have the monopoly when it comes to the whites that New Zealand exports. We rejoiced when we discovered the quality of this Chardonnay from Marlborough. Put through partial malolactic fermentation (that’s...

Before the Rochford winery was based in the Yarra they had significant vineyard holdings in the Macedon Ranges, the perfect cool environment for Chardonnay grapes. We think Chardy is cool even when it’s from a warm climate so we were smitten by ou...

The combination of Traminer Riesling brings back some old memories of wines from years ago when every bottle shop would have a case of Rosemount or Wyndham Estate proudly front of shelf, and there was hardly a Sauvignon Blanc to be seen. Ahh for t...

it's something of Chardonnay epicentre is the Yarra Valley, with more fine booze than you can poke a chardy flavoured stick at (pardon the pun). This particular example was picked early to maintain freshness then given some very clever oak treatme...

Such a consistent wine this - especially now that it comes sealed with a screwcap. Citrus fruit, crisp natural acidity and a lightly honeyed texture. Will age too. Iconic (if sometimes forgotten) white wine.

Orange is one of the unsung heroes for Riesling and a wine like this shows why. Beautifully pure citrus fruit flavours on a silky palate with plenty of crisp acidity. Crisp, restrained and delicious.

Andrew Margan has a bit of a name for his Chardonnay with its ripe tropical fruit flavour, rounded texture and just enough creamy balanced oak to make it a stylish Hunter Valley example.

Our objective is to produce a robust style of Chardonnay that could be enjoyed at an early age yet without broadening or developing too quickly. The fruit was chosen from a range of Victorian vineyards for that purpose. The grapes were picked at t...
