Hay Shed Hill Chardonnay
One of the best value Margaret River Chardonnays out there. Michael Kerrigan is doing an amazing job producing Chardonnays of elegance. Hay Shed Hill has delicate grapefruit and stone fruit flavours on the palate. And these flavours are matched with fine, minerally acidity with suble oak towards the finish.
Flametree Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
A relative newcomer to Margaret River, Flametree have already hit several home runs. This wine is another hit, with a fresh mix of citrus and stonefruits, zingy acidity and clean finish.
Garagiste Tuerong Chardonnay
d'Arenberg The Dry Dam Riesling
Risky Business White Knuckle Chardonnay
Alain Geoffroy Chablis
Many of us wine drinkers have a soft spot for Chablis. Its with great reason too, given our climate and affi nity with seafood. A little over two months ago, we were thrilled when this wine hit our shores for the first time following a selective buying trip. Once again, it showcased its undisputed quality and notoriety in our tasting sessions. Established in 1850, this small family owned domain is the proven choice of so many when it comes to great Chablis. The estate comprises a mere 45 hectares of vines scattered throughout the region, grown on the famous Kimmeridgian limestone soils. Textbook in expression and style, super fi ne and elegant, this 2013 has perfectly poised, piercing acidity. This drives superb length of flavour on the featherweight light palate. Is there a better oyster wine?
Tyrrells Winemakers Selection Vat 1 Semillon
A young and approachable white wine, this wine has been crafted to last a long time in the cellar. The well balanced palate contains fresh citrus elements supported by crisp acidity, leading to a clean finale.
Tyrrells Winemakers Selection Vat 47 Chardonnay
The wine shows an amazing length of flavor and mouthfeel with strong, clean acid on the finish and some secondary characters derived from the slight solids ferment. A great example of Hunter chardonnay with its the citrus/acid backbone, which is a benefit of no malolactic fermentation.
Scarpantoni Chardonnay
An excellent food wine, it matches well with just about any foods you might match a dry white wine to, but fresh white seafood dishes (white fish, squid, prawns & crabs) are perhaps the best accompaniment to this wine.
Campanula Pinot Grigio
This terrific Pinot Grigio comes from an award winning cellar established in 1949 in the village of Etyek, 50 kilometres from Budapest, and it shows just what fantastic quality and value Hungary offers. Famous for its regal sweet wine, named Tokaji, Hungary has in fact many strings to its bow, thanks in part to a 600 year history of growing Italian grape varieties. Winemaker Gábor Laczkó has proven himself an expert, crafting a range of thrilling wines under the Campanula label, named after the flower that grows wild in the vineyards. This refreshingly crisp, minerally Pinot Grigio has classic ripe pear, apricot and green apple character. Enjoy as a refreshing glass any time or with lighter dishes like tiger prawns or grilled salmon steak.
