After enjoying a “distinguished career as a winemaker spanning over 20 years, working for some of Australia’s largest wineries” (Halliday), John Quarisa is making his own wines – his own way. The result? Mile upon mile of excellent wines that continue to win Gold!

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.

McWilliams are a household name when it comes to good Sherry in Australia. Their dry version is perfect for the kitchen or as part of a mixed drink.

Annie's Lane from South Australia's Clare Valley produce a Chardonnay that has toasty nutty oak flavours that perfectly complement the rich melon, baked fig varietal characters of the grape in this soft, full-flavoured Chardonnay.

Brown Brothers White gold Mmoscato is pale golden colour with a bright green hue. This wine was brought to life with its lively bubbles, show casing different layers of flavours including spices, hint of musk, honey and rose water. Great refreshing summer drink or branch!

McWilliam's have been apart of the Australian wine scene for over a century and just like they did back in the beginning, still produce great affordable fortified wines like this Sweet Sherry.

When you're looking for a consistently good South Australian wine, this is a great pick. It's medium bodied and packed with dark fruits, creating a well balanced option. Enjoy with pizza or pasta.

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. This Sauvignon Blanc echoes the fruit depicted on the label. Pink grapefruit, lime zest and passionfruit creates a truly elegant example of this variety.

Attractive honeydew melon, white peach and lemon/lime aromas make this Penfolds Koonunga Hill Chardonnay, a fresh easy drinking one with plenty of complexities on the finish.
