Stretching along Italy's Adriatic coast, the Abruzzo boasts pretty coastal coves and dramatic landscapes of soaring mountain peaks, deep valleys and ancient castles. The region also offers a range of attractive wines - the creamy, plum filled Montepulciano based reds, citrusy Trebbianos and, most recently, fruity Pinot Grigios. This Pinot Grigio is a new addition to our Farinelli range. The estate proudly champions a traditional trellising system, 'pergola abruzzese', which ensures the grapes receive excellent exposure to the bright sunshine and so gain full ripeness. The result is a lovely balance of bright pear and apple fruit, teamed with minerally zip. It makes an ideal apéritif and goes well with fish, chicken and creamy pasta.

Multi Trophy-winning Sam Trimboli must be one of the country's most in-demand winemakers. But after 30-odd years working for other wineries, he took the big step of setting up on his own in 2018 – and, being an old friend of ours, we backed him every step of the way. In return, Sam creates some excellent wines just for us, most have become bestsellers. We suspect this cracking Chardonnay will shortly join them.

Enjoy a thoroughly refreshing Sauvignon Blanc from WA's remote Great Southern. “This is intensely aromatic on the nose with green apple, lemongrass, kaffir lime, and garden herb characters, followed by a lively palate delivering bright fruit intensity and juicy acidity. Upfront and flavoursome with a lingering, tasty finish. At its best: now to 2028. 92pts.” (Sam Kim, Wine Orbt).

What’s not to adore about Prosecco? All the sophisticated bubbles of Champagne, yet brighter, more fruity and so affordable. Il Papavero Prosecco is the latest addition to our ‘poppy’ range of wines, and already boasts an army of thirsty fans – it’s just so irresistible. But that should come as no surprise when you consider the heritage of winemaker Scipione Giuliani. This maestro was born in the very heart of the Prosecco region. A true local, he knows all the best winegrowers and went straight to the region's very finest vineyards (usually owned by long standing friends) to source the fruit for this fine fizz. Just one sip will transport you to a smart Venetian piazza. Great value, delicious taste – chill your bottle down and enjoy.

Luscious Verdelho from the rich soils of the Limestone Coast. A native of Portugal, this sumptuous grape has really made a home for itself here in Australia. As for flavour – imagine a sun-filled, refreshing bowl of fruit salad. It's no wonder the variety is gaining more fans.

Enjoy a beautifully balanced, lush, ripe citrussy Verdelho with a hint of honeysuckle from the Strout Rd vintners, who have taken fruit for this from Langhorne Creek, where the grape thrives. Verdelho, originally a Portuguese grape – most famously grown on the island of Madeira, where it was first planted in the 15th century. It has thrived in various Australian regions, including sites in South Australia, Langhorne Creek in particular, and the Hunter Valley, where it can produce luscious but refreshing whites when nicely balanced as this one is!

We have offered this exemplary wine for over two decades and the multitude of awards over the years – and the 5-Star reviews – speak volumes. It is our bestselling sparkler by a mile. Roche Lacour winemaker Viviane Gianesini works her magic beneath the cool hills of Limoux. Here, the monks of Saint Hilaire are said to have mastered sparkling wine methods in 1531, centuries ahead of Dom Pérignon. Bottles back then were fragile and didn’t travel, so their success remained a secret. The cuvée is rich in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir – like Champagne – and nearly half the wine is oak fermented – just like Krug! It’s an expensive technique (so rarely practised) yet important for depth and complexity. Enjoy on its own or with deserving canapés.
