The Irvine Estate Chardonnay 2018 offers aromas of lifted white grapefruit, lemon and green apple with a hint of toast. This wine is very delicate yet complex with flavours of fresh citrus, smooth creaminess followed by light toast and a hint of cashew.
-
The Credaro 5 Tales Pinot Gris 2020 offers aromas of rich ginger spice, intense nashi pear and stone fruits. Underlying creamy notes lift from the glass giving the nose depth. Rich and vibrant palate of citrus and gingerbread. Lifted tropical mid-palate leads into creamy texture from the oak component. A textured acidity adds to the palate drive and length.
-
The Rosenthal Garten Chardonnay 2020 offers a lifted bouquet of stone fruits, cashews and toasty oak. The palate is brimming with richness and weight with citrus, spice and a touch of butteriness rounding out the long finish.
-

"This is a meld of organically grown fruit from sites in farther western NSW, encroaching on Mudgee. The altitudinal influence (to 600 meters) is palpable, embedded in a skein of freshness. The fruit, a blend of Shiraz, Cabernet and Merlot is plummy and approachable, with a skirting board of leafy tannin for detail, form and lift. Eminently approachable drinking 90 Points" - Ned Goodwin
-
This wine showcases aromas of blackberries, tangy red currants, pepper and fresh herbs on the nose. The palate features an Initial softness and fruit sweetness, tempered by tangy acidity and a mouthful of terse tannins.
-
The 2017 Gembrook Hill Sauvignon Blanc features lifted citrus and sweet dried hay aromas. This is a superbly balanced wine and will defy expectations of what sauvignon blanc tend to deliver. It is flavoursome, complex and has beautiful long line and length. It has a juicy, textural mid palate and finishes with a satisfying hint of savoury chalkiness.
-
The Yalumba Samuels' Collection Eden Valley Viognier 2017 offers aromas of fresh apricots, ginger, saffron and fresh white flowers. The palate is long and silky, showcasing stone fruit flavours.
-
The Tua Rosa Pinot Grigio DOC Delle Venezie 2019 features aromas of ripe yellow fruit notes reminiscent of peach and apricot and tending towards an almost tropical fragrance. The fragrant alcoholic notes with nuances of crusty bread and acacia honey, complete this wine, bestowing finesse and substance to the bouquet. The palate is full in both body and flavour, delicately smooth yet with a bold structure, bringing balance and long-lasting taste, enhanced by a refined fruity aftertaste. If carefully cellared it will keep well for a few years, underlining its strength and smoothness.
-
Bests Bin No 1 Shiraz is a classic, cool climate, aromatic shiraz, made in a style that is perfumed, spicy and peppery, yet well balanced with no overt dominance of alcohol. Made predominantly from Best's own vineyards and meticulously crafted with the same attention to detail as the Icon wines, Bin 1 Shiraz represents the essence of Best's winemaking ideals and the uniqueness of the Great Western region. It’s a great match with food - particularly dishes like spring lamb.
-
The Hewitson LuLu Shiraz 2018 offers classic cooler climate aromas of red fruits, pepper and spice. The palate showcases flavours of fresh fruits, fine tannins and soft fruit finish.
-
The 2018 Dandelion Vineyards Damsel of Barossa Merlot offers aromas of wild berries and then bursting blueberries and sweet cassis. Alive aromatics complete with the best merlot fruit reminiscent of a high acid blueberry jam. The aroma leads and the bouquet faintly hints at the vaguest waft of spice from older oak barrels. The palate features flavours of damson plum, blueberry and blackberry. This is merlot that sings and shines, but a clear acid and tannin backbone keeps it on the road. The after-palate is long and brings with it whispers of dry dark chocolate.
