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!

A bestselling Prosecco – now with a delicious pink twist. This Prosecco Rosato is crafted from Glera with a splash of Pinot Noir for that delicate blush. The grapes are sourced from vineyards in the sunny Euganean Hills (known locally as ‘happy hills’), just south of Padua in Italy’s Veneto region. Here, vines thrive in volcanic soils, giving the wine its crisp minerality and lively, fruity character. In the glass, expect a cascade of persistent bubbles with notes of wild strawberries, sweet summer fruits and a hint of citrus. It's light, refreshing and irresistibly moreish – a perfect match with chicken and seafood dishes, barbecues, or simply sipping solo.

The Noble One by De Bortoli is considered Australia's premier dessert wine, and for obvious reasons. The wine has won countless awards at the leading wine shows around the country and has a wonderful propensity to develop even further in the bottle. The 2002 Noble One is a classic expression of the style with rich apricot treacle characters with fig and orange blossom still active on the nose and palate. Hints of vanilla bean and a refreshing acidity on the finish mean this decade old wine will continue to live in the cellar for many years more.

Take home a mighty Shiraz of concentration power and balance, from winemaker Chris Thomas, now part owner of Dowie Doole. It was founded in 1995 by Drew Dowie and Norm Doole, lon associated with grape growing in McLaren vale. Since 2015, it has been in the hands of Chief Winemaker Chris Thomas, who bought it from them with other investor friends. This is an archetypal McLaren vale Shiraz with dark fruit and chocolate, coffee, herbs and licorice.

Andresen passionately believe that port is one of the world’s finest wines – and have won a host of awards from international competitions. Thanks to their dedication to quality at all levels their ready to drink ruby port is seductively luscious. Established in 1849, Andresen are one of the last remaining family owned and run port houses. They have built a stellar reputation based on using an ultra rigorous grape selection to make only the finest wines. Owner Carlos Flores de los Santos presides over a magnificent collection of aged ports, resting in barrel in his extensive cellars, and is ably assisted by chief winemaker Alvaro Van Zeller – the former Head of Tasting at the Port Wine Institute. Ruby is the youngest, fruitiest style of port, aged for no more than two years. This strikingly powerful cousin of the vintage style can be enjoyed without decades of ageing. Andresen Ruby makes a delightful after dinner tipple, delicious as a glass on its own or with mature Stilton.
