Caravan Sauvignon Blanc
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.
Caravan Pinot Grigio
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.
30 Mile Riesling
This gorgeously refreshing white is made by the talented John Quarisa, who – aside from winning a coveted Jimmy Watson Trophy – has enjoyed a “distinguished career as a winemaker spanning over 20 years” (Halliday). John likes his wines to express big personality, juicy fruit and value for money. They also have a magic knack of winning Gold – often several times over! Mouthwateringly fresh and bursting with citrus. Lemon and lime run across the palate, with subtle green apple hints. This Gold winner would happily pair with a platter of fresh prawns.
Annie's Lane Chardonnay
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.
Ninth Island Chardonnay
Pristine aromatic Tasmanian Chardonnay, The Ninth Island exhibits tropical and melon characters. Fresh, light and fruit driven this is a wine of quality and style. Perfect with seafood!
Jacob's Creek Cool Harvest Sauvignon Blanc
Jacob's Creek Cool Harvest Sauvignon Blanc was harvested in the middle of the cool night to capture the freshest flavours and acidity of the Sauvignon Blanc fruit. Fruit that is perfect for a light, crisp, summer style Sauv Blanc. Vintage conditions in 2011 were simply perfect for this style, with ample rain in the winter followed by long sunshine filled days during ripening. Long cool nights also helped deliver an intense and finely balanced fruit set tailored made for producing the best quality Sauvignon Blanc available. Lively and zesty on the nose and in the palate, Jacob's Creek Cool Harvest Sauv Blanc is destined to be a favourite this summer.
De Bortoli Premium Semillon Chardonnay
De Bortoli are the market leaders for premium quality cask wines here in Australia and here is a great example why. A fresh, vibrant and fruity style Semillon Chardonnay that has delicious lemon, lime and white peach flavours with a creamy texture and crisp acidity.
Parker Coonawarra Estate Coonawarra Series Chardonnay
Parker Coonawarra Estate was established in 1985 with an uncompromising approach to quality. This Chardonnay adheres to these strict viticulture and winemaking standards, resulting in a finely structured wine, with natural acidity, elegance, flavour and a fresh, clean finish.
Fowles Are You Game Chardonnay
This wine is bright straw in colour. Aromas of peach, papaya and apricot jump from the glass with subtle notes of oak in the wake. The palate is full bodied and fruity with great texture and a delightful creaminess as a result of four months on yeast lees. Served perfectly with creamy fish pie with a side of green beans. Enjoy now.
Redbank Victorian Chardonnay
The 2019 Redbank Victorian Chardonnay is rich and full of ripe stone fruit on the mid palate. An unoaked style resulting in a clean, crisp finish, an easy drinking style. Perfect with pastas, seafood, fish and antipasto, its richer style can be enjoyed all year round. Established in 2005 by the Hill-Smith family, Redbank Victoria specialises in ultra-cool climate wines from the valleys of Eastern Victoria. The vineyards are nestled in the high country of the Victorian alpine region as well as the King Valley, and some select vineyards in Beechworth. The winemakers and viticulturists work closely with a dedicated team of carefully selected independent growers. These small family-run vineyards offer unique and subtle soil and altitude differences that provide Redbank's winemakers with an opportunity to create distinctive wines reflecting the finest attributes of the region. Winemaker Marc van Halderen and viticulturist Nick Dry have a simple philosophy: great wine is made in the vineyard. Together, they craft wines from varieties such as Moscato, Pinot Gris, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz into styles ranging from aromatic, low alcohol summer whites through to spicy, plummy reds.
