The impressive West Cape Howe is owned by a partnership of four WA families, including those of Gavin Berry and Rob Quenby. Grapes are sourced from estate vineyards in Mount Barker and Frankland River. Styx Gully is 100% Mt Barker grown; all the fruit from our best two blocks of Chardonnay on our Langton vineyard. Block 3 had a tiny crop with rich fruit flavours, Block 25 has deeper soils, a better crop and ripened later; it provided the fruit with higher acidity and delicate, finer fruit flavours. Some of the parcels were handpicked and whole bunch pressed; the balance of the fruit picked at night with low overnight temperatures and processed promptly at the winery. Styx is all barrel fermented (approx 40% new) with no malolactic fermentation; the result being a complex, but still fruit driven, style of Chardonnay. “Its all about freshness and energy. Citrus and melon with a muted cashew character on the nose. The palate is finely balanced with penetrating finish promoted by a crisp chalky acidity. Has a little white flower and lime influence adding complexity. 92pts” (Ray Jordan)

Thoroughly refreshing and classy, this is a 93pt, great Value Yarra Valley beauty from an "outrageously successful Yarra Valley winery... run by husband-and-wife team Leanne De Bortoli and Steve Webber but owned by the De Bortoli family" (Halliday). "... a complex touch of freshly struck match to go with the ripe, white nectarines and pink grapefruit scents. Fills out nicely on the generous yet nicely structured and poised palate. Unbeatable value" (Philip Rich, The Halliday Wine Companion).

Customers invariably ask: "What's Blanc de Blancs Champagne and what makes it so special?" The Champagne region grows three grapes, two red – Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier – and one white ¬– Chardonnay. Blanc de Blancs is made only from Chardonnay and, as Hugh Johnson says, it therefore has "great grace and less weight than traditional Champagne". Laithwaite's is a tip-top example which for years has been expertly created for us by superb cellars in Avize, one of Champagne's finest villages. This particular cuvée is 100% Premier Cru vineyards and was matured for 30 months before release – double the required minimum – to ensure a really luxurious character. Showing complex white blossom, citrus and toasted brioche notes, it has great finesse, a very fine mousse, and the perfect amount of acidity to cut through a range of delicious canapés such as velvety chicken or duck liver parfait.

A fine array offering serious refreshment with fresh seafood or sipped alone. Enjoy Kilikanoon’s Mort’s Block from Watervale, a top spot in the Clare Valley, which is also home to Triple Gold Alumni and Walk this Way from Claymore. From Great Southern to the Eden Valley, quality is superb!
