Powerful and opulent with a flinty backbone to balance the concentrated stone fruit and barrel fermentation complexities.

Who is Louis Auger? The mystery and wonder is as enticing as the Champagne itself. A fantastic lesser known Champagne, offering remarkable value-for-money and quality. Complex notes of bread, biscuits, citrus and apples complement the lighty toasty mouthfeel and soft rounded finish. Perfect as an aperitif or a companion to lighter style meals.

Beautifully balanced on the palate with lemony acidity, crisp apple and subtle notes of thyme, finishing with a classic, traditional method toastiness. WINE PANEL NOTE: An attractive nose of lemon, white nectarine, white flowers, supported by subtle, savoury biscuit notes. Very creamy and rich on the palate, with sweet, pulpy citrus balanced by lemony acidity and subtle lime pith. A wonderfully balanced and approachable introduction to English sparkling wine. WINE PANEL SCORE: 95

A lovely aperitif style, with lifted honeysuckle and citrus from the Chardonnay and delicate strawberry Pinot characters. Tirage age of this Jansz Premium Cuvée adds nutty complexity and creamy texture.

Vibrant perfumes of rose petal, wild strawberry and cranberry on the nose. Deep savoury palate with plenty of drive, power and complexity along with persistent effervescence.

Lemon and lime flower on the nose and equally lemon and lime dominated on the palate with green apple crispness Overall crisp, clean and refreshing with just a touch of fruit sweetness.

Gary Farr is still one of Victoria's true Chardonnay maestro's and his Chardonnay By Farr is another example. Taken from the original By Farr vineyard, this is a clearly a wine of true clarity and finesse. Flavours of melon and hints of spice with wonderful oak integration mean this wine is simply delicious upon release, but handle some careful medium-term cellaring.
