Subtle aromas of vanillin oak and melon, with a hint of green pear. Oak and fruit are well balanced. A rich fruit palate combines with a creamy texture from the French Oak treatment. The aftertaste is clean, with lingering peach flavours. Drinks well now, but will continue to improve with 3-4 years further cellaring.

First Creek's Botanica range focusses on regions within NSW to produce high quality, high value wines like this delicious PG. Very pale straw with a faint pink blush. Fresh-cut pear, apple and lemon.

A real master of alternative varietals, David Hook makes outstanding wines from vineyards across NSW. This Hunter Vermentino has a lovely texture with a salty twist.Fine straw with a green hue. Lifted anise, celery, yellow melon and white flower aromatics. Crisp and fine with nervous acidity driving the grapefruit and rockmelon core with a jubey mouthfeel, attractive minerality and a bright finish.

A very appealing yellow/green tinted colour. Tropical aromas with plenty of primary fruit as a young wine. Minimal oak influence, of which adds a slight bran meal note. More tropical fruit on the palate, balanced by bright zesty acidity. An excellent and flavoursome Chardonnay.

Aromas of passionfruit and jasmine aromatics. On the palate rich in grapefruit and passionfruit flavours with lemon notes. Perfect for a picnic with an ocean view.

A different expression altogether sans the benefit of bottle age. Youthful. Zesty. Punchy. As filigreed of talcy acidity and fine boned as the rest of the crew, this is guava, lemon grass and sherbet, teeming along a line of candied citrus chew. The wine will blossom in the medium term, but will not shy away from some aged furrows and complexity. Alcohol: 12%. Closure: screwcap. Date tasted: Jan 2018. Drink by: 2029. Price: $35. Rating: 94/100.
