The Black Pig's 'The Prize' label is saved for extra special parcels of supreme quality fruit, and this beauty is from a very special property indeed in WA's Margaret River. The estate cannot be named but be assured that fruit quality there is paramount and this elegant, full-flavoured Chardonnay is a real bargain even at its full RRP.

The 2019 Trimboli “Salvatore” Trebbiano has scooped a Gold medal at the Australian Italian Varietal Awards Wine Show. The wine then went on to receive the Trophy at the same show and then…….. Chief Judges Award for Most Exciting Wine of the Show. Sa, whho has won hhundreds and hundreds of Golds over the years (plus some MAJOR Trophhies) hhas always handled this Italian white grape superbly, and you will love it every bit as much as the show judges. White fruit, elegant chharm and a lick of French oak. Delicious!

Let’s talk ‘party in the sun’ – or even party in your glass! This ‘sunshine in a glass’ Spritz brims with the delicious fresh flavours of ripe blood orange, balanced beautifully by zesty orange citrus, and kept lively by fine, persistent bubbles. Serve over ice, in any glass you like, perhaps a slice of fresh orange and, if possible, head for a seat in the sun. Fruity, chic, fun and very refreshing.

A slight textural and richness through to the palate leaving pronounced acidity, a character typical of cool climate vineyards.

"Whole bunch-pressed, free-run juice. Has considerable grip and length, lemon, citrus and mineral banded together. Still a baby." 93 points, James Halliday Wine Companion, August 2016.

Andrew Margan bergan his winemaking career at Tyrrell's, set up on his own, was named the Hunter Valley Viticulturist of the Year in 2015 for the quality of his vineyards and his innovative viticultural techniques.. This is a beautifully crafted classic Hunter Semillon from a master of the art! The single vineyard, single variety wines in the Margan Family Vineyard range are crafted from old, low-yielding vines to showcase the Hunter’s unique terroir. This is a really mouthwatering white, crisp and fresh, light and lovely, with delicious lemony flavours shot through with light tropical notes.

Portugal offers wine drinkers terrific value in the wine drinking stakes, as well as an awe inspiring range of native grapes. The country’s winemakers are also adept at producing some cracking wines with international stars. Take Aluado from one of Portugal’s top names. José Neiva Correia is a doyen of Portuguese wine with many awards to his name. Having consulted for many of the country’s top cellars, he now has his own estate, and combines generations of tradition with an inquisitive spirit undimmed by decades of experience. Using grapes from vineyards close to the coast, Aluado has lovely ripe peach fruit balanced by a zing of stony crispness. Just what you want, as a glass on its own, or served with seafood, salmon or chicken dishes.

Tropical flavours of lychee, citrus and gooseberry, balanced with crisp acidity on a lingering finish.
