Leeuwin Estate Siblings Sauvignon Blanc
Blend of two-thirds Sauvignon Blanc and one-third Semillon gets a touch of barrel aging, reflected in its silky texture more than any overt aromas or flavours. The palate is fruit-forward, offering hints of citrus, under ripe nectarine and green apple, finishing long and mouth-watering. Overall a youthful and vibrant blend.
De Bortoli La Boheme Act Three Pinot Gris & Friends
The friends in this French Alsace style blend are 'aromatic varieties', probably riesling and gewurztraminer. The colour is pale, the bouquet is sweetly fragrant and floral. A dab of sweetness, full, rich and satisfying.
La Boheme Act 1 Riesling
La Boheme Act One Opera Singer and Yarra Valley diva, Dame Nellie Melba, played the part if Mimi in 'La Boheme' based in the Latin Quarter of Paris in the 1800s. There were four acts in the opera, the last ending, as usual, in tragedy. Act 1 sets the scene for the characters; filtration, moonlight, impoverished artisans, working girls, embroidered flowers and of course, the anticipation of summer. This aromatic and cheeky Riesling with some interesting charcters of Pinot Girls and Gewitztraminer thrown in, conjures up a similar feel. Perfumed, textural, delicious.

De Bortoli Premium Sem Sauv Blanc
Lemon, lime and peach flavours come to the fore. The palate has a creamy texture, with crisp acidity. The subtle oak approach has given added structure to the wine without overpowering it leaving the citrus and stone fruit flavours to dominate
In Dreams Chardonnay
The Yarra Valley is one of the heavyweight regions for Australian Chardonnay, with finesse and length of flavour the hallmarks of the regional style. In the glass: Pale lemon green. On the nose: Apple, grapefruit, oatmeal and almond aromas. On the palate: Fine, elegant and poised yet with power and drive and a delicious core of white and yellow fruits. A savoury, almost salty layer adds complexity, velvety texture and racy acidity.
Airlie Bank Pinot Noir
From Kate Goodman's team, who already bring us the wonderful Punt Rd range, this second label perpetuates their well deserved reputation. This is a soft, fruit driven Pinot from sites around the Yarra Valley. It offers great complexity at this price.

A fine example of cool-climate Chardonnay. Elegant and structured this wine shows the finesse of the Yarra Valley at it's best. A perfect white to accompany seafood and white meats.
Chaffey Bros Dufte Punkt White
A masterful blend of three Germanic luminaries, Gewürztraminer,Riesling and Weiyer Herold. Showcasing restrained and yet mouthfilling (and watering) tropical fruits; lychee, mandarins and the like with gorgeous minerality that lingers on the tongue.
