Displays classic Chardonnay characters of white peach, nectarine and fresh figs. The palate is fresh and vibrant with fruit flavours of citrus and white peach. Maturation in French oak provides subtle nutmeg and clove characters on the palate, while a clean slatey acid backbone provides length and structure to the wine. The wine is complex with no single character dominating the wine. The flavour of the wine persists long after it has left the mouth.

The first vintage of this exciting blend from Northern Tasmania. Winemaker Alex Russell is famed for his Riverland-based Alejandro wines and is now trying his hand at something new.Pale and bright. Very fragrant lift of lime, pear, apple and quince. Light-bodied yet intensely flavoured, with a concentrated mix of white and green fruit, hints of musk and lychee, lively acidity and textural interest.

Anywhere, anytime! The Papaveros are Italy’s friendliest family of wines and this refreshing white provides a terrific introduction. Most Italian winemakers are fiercely proud of their region. Winemaker Scipione Giuliani is fiercely proud of Italy. And hugely passionate about quality and value. He says he can’t choose the weather each vintage so he chooses instead the ‘luckiest’ regions for the ripest, tastiest grapes – Abruzzo and Sicily in this case. It’s what makes Il Papavero Bianco so consistently spot on. We call it the ‘Poppy factor’ and it makes for mouthwatering stuff! Open one of Italy’s most reliably delicious whites as a pre-dinner drink or with soft cheeses, salads or seafood dishes. We guarantee you’ll be back for more.

A superb WA classic from Five Red Star Howard Park, originally set up by John Wade and named in honour of his father, now part of Burch Family Wines, a founding member of Australia’s First Families of Wines. “No barrel fermentation or lees working, the two varieties having a close natural affinity with each other. Citrus and green pea marry with passionfruit and gooseberry, citrus the lead player. One of those wines made for consumption, not nerdy wine conversation... 91 points” (Halliday).

An excellent food wine, it matches well with just about any foods you might match a dry white wine to, but fresh white seafood dishes (white fish, squid, prawns & crabs) are perhaps the best accompaniment to this wine.
