Deep Woods Estate Chardonnay
This excellent expression of Chardonnay, partly due to only limited time in oak, is light, fresh and zesty but with inherent complexity. Pale straw in colour, this wine exhibits lifted nectarine and white blossom characters with underlying minerality and depth. The palate is clean and lively with tremendous depth of ripe stone-fruit flavour nuanced by cashew notes. A refreshing backbone of natural grape acidity provides further structure and length.
Xanadu Chardonnay
Pears, stone fruit and citrus gives way to a creamy, nutty middle and fresh acidity to close.
Cullen Mangan Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
Since taking over the reigns at Cullen in 1989, Vanya Cullen has taken this esteemed winery to new heights including winning for herself the Gourmet Wine Traveller Winemaker of the Year honours along the way. The Mangan Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is the sibling to the Cullen Vineyard version and shares the same level of elegance and flavour precision. Add to that precision an added layer of complexity and texture on the palate and you have what many consider to be Western Australia's premier 'classic dry white'.
Rosabrook Margaret River Chardonnay
A well-balanced wine by Rosabrook Estate. The primary stone fruits mixed with minerality and subtle oak on the palate. It is fruity and elegant. A beautifully made wine for those seafood dishes.
Lenton Brae Semillon Sauvignon Blanc
Lenton Brae is a pioneer of this style in Margaret River and one of the benchmarks. Tropical and citrus fruit marries seamlessly with subtle oak giving the wine wonderful length and depth of flavour.
Happs Preservative Free White
Happs Preservative Free White offers up a Margaret River Chardonnay that doesn't disappoint.

Sherbet characters follow and the wine ends in a long finish, marked by citrus acidity. Enjoy this wine within 2 to 3 years from vintage to make the most of its youthful flavours. Alternately, it can be cellared for up to 15 years for more complex and toasty characters.
Credaro Five Tales Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
This exquisite Five Tales Sauvignon Blanc Semillon displays a pale straw colour with a bright green haze. The fragrant bouquet exudes lively aromas of tropical fruits, citrus and herbs, making way for a zesty and textured palate filled with intense citrus and tropical fruit flavours. These vibrant characters are balanced by crisp acidity, which leads this delightful white blend to a dry and refreshing finish. It has the potential to be cellared for 1 to 2 years from vintage.

Harewood Estate Frankland River Riesling
A brilliant, exceptionally pale straw colour with youthful green tinges. The wine exhibits pungent spicy blossom and hints of stone fruits enhanced by an underlying citrus vibrancy. A seamless palate, with initial flavours of passionfruit and mandarin leading to a spicy mid-palate with richer hints of mango sorbet finishing with classic mouth-watering lemons and limes. Established in 1988 in Denmark, Western Australia, Harewood Estate was bought by ex-Howard Park winemaker, James Kellie, and his family in 2003. Since then, the winery has moved forward in leaps and bounds. It has garnered many favourable reviews from renowned wine critics whilst collecting a swag of wine show medals and trophies along the way. Kellie prides himself on delving into the true expression of the Great Southerns sub-regions of Denmark, Porongurup, Frankland River and Mount Barker using grape varietals such as Riesling, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. As Harewood Estate says, The art is on the inside of every bottle. The fruit is sourced from select, low yielding vineyards from each sub-region to produce cool climate wines James Halliday refers to as Wines of exemplary quality and typicity.
