A simple yet flavoursome entry level Sauvignon Blanc. Brilliant water like colour with greenish tinged edges. Aromas of tropical fruit, melon and green apple are followed by some delicate herbaceous notes. The flavoursome palate features passionfruit, lime and green apple fruits over subtle cut grass and mineral elements. Nicely rounded mouth feel with a lick of brisk acidity on the fruity finish.

For fans of elegant pinks, there’s one style that trumps all others – Provençal rosé. As the only wine region to specialise in rosé production, Provence not only offers “a wine for almost any occasion, but also guarantees quality” says the Independent. And this cooperative delivers just that, with value. As one of the oldest cellars in the region, it has been crafting fine rosé since 1912. Owned by a small group of growers, its modest size ensures meticulous care in both vineyard and cellar. Grenache and Cinsault make up a large portion of this pink and were harvested from the high-altitude, limestone slopes of Sainte-Baume. Full of fresh berry flavour with a crisp mineral edge and a dry finish – it's great solo and versatile with food.

A ripe, fleshy quaffing Chardonnay. Bright straw colour with yellow green tinged edges and a watery hue. Ripe peach and crème brulee like aromas fill the nostrils with hints of toasty oak and butterscotch also present. Fleshy and ripe, the palate features peach and tropical fruit flavours over vanillin spice and traces of crème brulee. Balanced acidity with a nicely shaped finish. Drink over the next year. Alc. 13%

Elegant (and utterly delicious) White Burgundy from a fine family domaine, established in 1909 by Joseph Matrot, and today run by the third generation, Elsa and Adèle Matrot. They are renowned as “a top-class Meursault producer” (Wine International), while Neal Martin wrote, "great wines are being made at this address". The sisters, like their father before them, believe in using oak sparingly in order to express “the quintessence of terroir” (La Revue du Vin de France). They let the fruit do the talking. The result is a portfolio of Burgundies that are intensely flavoured, pure tasting, with excellent ageing potential. In 2023, they discarded 25% of their grapes which has taken quality even higher. Certainly one of the finest producers of Burgundy.

Grüner Veltliner (Gru-We or groovy) from RedHeads and the sustainable winery in the heart of the Barossa where wines are made. RedHeads has always been a bit of a rebel! The ‘movement’ started in 2002 in the McLaren Vale – in a cellar where young winemakers could come in their spare time and make just the sort of small-scale wine they dreamed of (not like they did in their day job). Since then, the winery has moved home a few times, and today make their wines in the Barossa, at one of Australia's leading eco-friendly cellars. There, surrounded by many of Australia's biggest wine names, they handcraft revolutionary wines from top batches of grapes, rescued from under the noses of the big players.
