Crafted from the fruit of the very first Chardonnay vines of the Piccadilly Valley, Petaluma Tiers Chardonnay flaunts a perfect pale straw colour. Fermented in new French oak barriques, this Chardy gives off aromas of ripe white peach on the bouquet, followed by hints of almond, cinnamon and nectarine. The multi-layered & creamy palate displays wonderful stone fruit flavours and minerality, leading to a long, nutty and viscous finish balanced by lemon-lime acidity. The wine goes well with mushrooms, roast chicken and salmon dishes.

Houghton made wine for 101 years before Jack Mann created the iconic, and incredibly influential, White Burgundy in 1937. In 2023, more than 80 years on, Houghton honoured this history with the release of this exquisite old vine chenin blanc from Margaret River. With a foot in the past and an eye on the future, EV/37 represents chenin blanc at its best—vibrant, delicate, layered, textural.

RUDI PICHLER Wosendorfer Hochrain Smaragd Riesling, Wachau

With its fresh, intense lemon tonic, pear, apple, oyster shell aromas, superb lemon curd richness, persistence and minerality, Crawford River Riesling reflects the modern idiom of the Riesling style. The dry-grown vines, first planted in 1975 by John Thomson, are deeply anchored in gravelly friable basalt loams over clays and an ancient limestone seabed. Second generation winemaker Belinda Thomson, with her father John Thomson, continues the philosophy of minimal intervention and movement during vinification. The cold-settled juice is batch fermented around 12° - 15° C and left on lees for around six weeks before bottling in September.
