I'm not always a huge fan of Hunter chardonnay but I really enjoyed this. Balance is the keyword here, with fruit and oak operating in perfect harmony. Open a bottle, serve with a leg of roast pork and you have a feast on your hands. $28.
Murray Street is an exciting new Barossa winery, with Andrew Seppelt heading up the winemaking team. This blend of shiraz and mataro is a very special wine; big, rich, quite oaky, but wonderfully balanced. One for the cellar - if you can resist. $75.
A terrific classic white blend from a small, family-run Margaret River winery that always produces quality wines. This is very dry, very chic and very appealing - one of those wines where the bottle is empty and it seems you've barely had a glass. $22.
Absolutely outstanding - one of the best chardonnays I've tasted recently. Biodynamics advocate Sergio Carlei is making superb wines and this barrel-fermented Yarra Valley beauty has great fruit, elegance and drinkability. $45.
A very classy Margaret River chardonnay with flavour, texture and complexity but also great drinkability. There are stone fruit and almonds on the nose, while the palate is delicate with grapefruit and cashew characters. Wonderfully balanced. $45.
This is arguably Australia's finest sparkling wine, a complex, nutty and mature bubbly that oozes class and finishes with a lovely crisp acidity. You won't do better over the holiday period than this intense blend of chardonnay and pinot noir. $60.
What a great picnic wine! This rosé-style blend from north-east Victoria offers sweet berry fruit flavours with just a hint of spice, and a crisp, clean finish. A wine for enjoying well-chilled on a warm day, or with a Lebanese banquet. $14.
