Caroline Mooney specialises in small batch Single Vineyard releases from carefully selected sites. This 2017 has scores of 93 and 91pts. Philip Rich calls it "varietally correct" complimenting its " Apricot kernel, honeysuckle and a gentle beeswax". It is quite rich and will aprtner salmon or simmilarly slightly fattier fish splendidly.

Fresh from Henschke's Littlehampton site in the Adelaide Hills, there are little squeaks of telltale bronze tones around the edges, then pears and almonds before a scoop of lychees and a mouth full of bright acids and herbal aromatics lolling around within its typical viscosity.

Tasting Notes: Pineapple, nectarine and lime aromatics along with lengthy butterscotch and biscotti flavours. A well-structured wine to be enjoyed from now to 2020.

Thoroughly refreshing and classy, this is a 93pt, great Value Yarra Valley beauty from an "outrageously successful Yarra Valley winery... run by husband-and-wife team Leanne De Bortoli and Steve Webber but owned by the De Bortoli family" (Halliday). "... a complex touch of freshly struck match to go with the ripe, white nectarines and pink grapefruit scents. Fills out nicely on the generous yet nicely structured and poised palate. Unbeatable value" (Philip Rich, The Halliday Wine Companion).

Scorpo produces another excellent example of Pinot Gris from the Mornington Peninsula. Lifted aromas of pear apricot and green apple lead into a palate rich and silky in texture, the flavours showing depth and complexity, the acidity in perfect balance.

Coldstream Hills has been consistently producing excellent Yarra Valley Chardonnay for years and if anything it keeps getting better. Stone fruit and grapefruit characters are supported by creamy nutty oak.

This is the Australian benchmark for bubbles in this price range and will hold its position as the ever-reliable party favourite. A racy, acid belt slices through the palate of fresh grapefruit and lemon gelati. Squeaky clean and smooth til the end with an endless stream of fine bubbles. 94 Points James Halliday.

A wine displaying creamy fresh fruit characters with a crisp dry finish.

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
