With 130 years of expertise under the family’s belt, Angove have plenty of experience to call upon. In recent years they have been awarded ‘Winery of the Year’ and many medals besides for individual wines. Fourth generation John Angove now heads up the cellar that Dr William Angove started in 1886 near Adelaide (by making award winning brandy – a product they’re still famous for) and, besides championing unusual grapes, John also pioneers modern styles of wine. His 2018 turns its back on the weighty, golden, heavily oaked Chardonnays of last century and embraces bright stone fruit, shot through by lemony brilliance. No wonder this grape is back in favour.

John Quarisa, aka Johnny Q, is a terrific winemaker, creating wines that, like him, can be lively and highly charged. In his Caravan wine series, he likes to think of a grape that changes in style as it travels. So that here, Sauvignon Blanc grown in his Riverina vineyards produces a wine still with loads of grassy fresh zip, but along the way, has developed more tropical fruit flavours too. That is peach, pineapple and passionfruit! He insists on night harvested grapes to ensure lots of bright fresh flavours and cool ferments them for the same reason. This wine previously won a Gold medal and we think the 2021 vintage is tasting just as good – it's a fridge-door-must! Chill down and enjoy as a glass on its own or with spicy Thai dishes.

Crisp apple and fresh pear bounce around in this easy-drinking Pinot Grigio that's a palate-full of flavour. A refreshing addition to afternoon drinks or maybe enjoy it with a chicken pesto salad.

This multiple Gold medal winner tawny is wonderful way to end a great meal with friends & family. This is a luscious full-flavoured port, rich with raisins, brown sugar and nuttiness. Enjoy with a generous cheese plate. Fortified wines were perfected in the 1700s and were popular as they were able to withstand long sea journeys. A wine becomes fortified when a neutral spirit is added during the fermentation process. There are many different types of fortified wines including Tawny, Port, Apera, Sherry, Muscat and other fortifieds. Common flavours include ginger, toasted hazelnuts, raisins, caramel and cinnamon. Fortified wine pairs well with seafood, tapas, fruit cake or enjoyed as a cocktail, aperitif or digestive.

An icon of the Barossa, Wolf Blass remembered through the fantastic range of value for money wines his winery continues to produce. The Eaglehawk Chardonnay has a bouquet that is lifted, tropical notes, peach characters, and subtle oak integration. The palate is medium weight, with rich fruit flavours and a backbone of supporting oak and crisp acidity.

Strelley Farm Estate is located in the heart of Tasmania's Coal River Valley wine region and is connected to the historical town of Richmond by the oldest bridge in Australia, the Richmond Bridge. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling and Gewurztraminer, the naturally sparkling wine displays bright passionfruit and citrus aromatics with flavours of lime, red apple and nougat.

Picture This Chardonnay with aromas of blossoms, white peaches and hints of a slate gives an appealing lift across the palate and a very fine, delicate zingy citrus acidity. Perfectly suited to a crispy skin duck lunch.

Pale straw with green hues. Aromatic pear and citrus on the nose, with the same fruit characters and a touch of lychee coming through on the palate. The finish is balanced with soft acidity.

Lindeman's Bin 65 Chardonnay is full bodied and soft with bright varietal flavours of pineapple and fig. The palate is creamy and smooth with light touches of spice. A subtle note of oak completes the offering.

McGuigan Black Label Verdelho is a great example of the aromatic style that shows attractive ripe tropical flavours with crisp acidity. A wonderful alternative for lovers of Sauvignon Blanc who love the freshness of the style.
