Garagiste Merricks Chardonnay
Montalto Pennon Hill Chardonnay
Kooyong Estate Chardonnay
'Wow Tangy mixed citrus peel and complex white stonefruit smelling; subtle flintiness and icy cold quartz. Amazing the mouth too: intense, long, edgy and mouth-sucking. So complex and charged with energy that descriptors elude.' (2012 Vintage) - 97/100. - Australian Financial Review, 29 Aug 2014.
Howard Park Margaret River Chardonnay
The palate exudes fleshy primary fruits, layered with nutmeal, lemon butter and brioche. A chalky, mineral texture and fresh citrus acidity continues the bounce.
Tapanappa Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay
The Piccadilly Valley welcomed the Croser family back into the Tapanappa Winery with a typical cool weather vintage of exemplary quality. Stone fruit, honeydew and lemon zest, with spicy cedar oak in support. Medium bodied, tangy lemony acidity, almond and spice, firm and flinty finish. Its a wine of structure and coiled up power. Good now, but ideally needs a couple of years in the winerack.
Domaine Alzipratu Cuvée Fiumeseccu Blanc
APPEARANCE: Pale straw in colour. AROMA: The bouquet is characterised by floral notes, apple and almond. PALATE: The palate is one of vibrancy and crisp acidity on a quite saline, minerally base. Totally moreish.
Domaine Labranche Laffont Pacherenc sec white
C&F Berthier Terre de Silex Giennois
The Berthier family have been winegrowers for five generations, with Clement and Florian taking over the reins in 2012 to continue the family tradition. Clement is responsible for winemaking and sales, while Florian is focused on the vineyards. Coteaux du Giennois, located northwest of Pouilly-Fume on the right bank of the Loire river, is the family's flagship appellation. This particular parcel selection is from soils made up primarily for quartz and flint (silex in French), giving the exotic, crunchy gooseberry characters with gunstone minerality. Expressive with a juicy thread of acidity and concentration on the palate, this is an incredible Sauvignon Blanc packed full of purity and energy.
Les Athletes du Vin Loire 'Gardien de Bulles' sparkling Brut Nature Non-Vintage
Aromatics: Vibrant notes of red apple, apple pie, red berries, peaches and a complex yeasty character. Palate: Creamy and textural this is a fine sparkling wine, with beautiful generosity and liveliness. Like on the nose it shows yummy notes of apple pie and white fruits. Delicious freshness and minerality carrying the bubbles in a charming way.
