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 white will shortly join them.

Fabulous, great value King Valley Riesling with scores of 93 and 95pts. From winemaker Rory Lane at 5 Red Star-rated The Story Wines, situated in Victoria's Grampians region. “Light colour and a complex, possibly barrel-influenced bouquet that is multi-faceted and charming, at the same time obvious varietal riesling. Mouth-watering acidity and a crisp, intense, dry balance on the palate. Utterly delicious riesling in a more adventurous style. There's a judicious touch of sweetness in the centre, then sherbety acidity completes the balance beautifully. This would be great with a serious chill. 95pts” (Huon Hooke, The Real Review) “Red apple flavours drive assertively through the palate, aided and emboldened by limey acidity. A gentle sweetness to the fruit helps to soften the palate, the end result a highly enjoyable drink.93pts. Great Value” ( Campbell Mattinson, The Halliday Wine Companion)

This is a refreshing, dry white with crunchy acidit to enjoy on its own as an aperitif or with a seafood salad. Son of a Bull are Alex Russell’s premium Tasmanian varietal wines.

Perfect celebration fizz from the Adelaide Hills. Howard Vineyard's cool-climate wines are really making a splash, and this vintage Sparkling – made with top quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from their Beautiful Valley and Charleston vineyards – is a tongue-tingling, nose-prickling, palate-pleasing delight. Vibrant raspberry, cherry and strawberry from the Pinot Noir greet your palate upfront. Soon to be followed by green apple, citrus and peach notes from the Chardonnay. which also offers texture and nutty flavour to the wine. This beautiful bubbly finishes fresh and dry with a hint of creaminess. Perfect for celebrations, it also makes a wonderful accompaniment to richly flavoured foods like lobster mornay or a gruyere soufflé.

Attractive stone fruit and citrus aromas with complexity from maturation on fermentation lees. The palate is fine and long with persistent flavour supported by oak structure and length. Will drink well over the next 5 years.
