Fresh flowers and waxy yuzu open an aromatic, amber-hued white.

Its combination of floral lift, gentle tannin and earthy depth makes it a versatile choice for roast poultry, mushrooms or spiced vegetables.
BK Wines 2016 Swaby Chardonnay
Australian White
A taut, savoury Chardonnay with crisp apple and lemon blossom set against roasted hazelnut and a gently smoky, flinty edge. A year in French oak gives the palate breadth and grip, while bright acidity and a salty mineral line keep the finish focused. Its layered, reductive style benefits from a short decant and pairs naturally with roast poultry, firm cheese or richer seafood.

Australian White
The Dry Dam Riesling 2015 has exotic aromas of green apple, ripe citrus and white flowers. The palate is quite rich and textural, with intense mandarin and grapefruit flavours.

Shaw and Smith 2024 Sauvignon Blanc
Australian White
A vibrant, polished Sauvignon Blanc with bright peach and citrus at the centre and delicate floral notes adding lift.

A long, refreshing finish keeps the wine poised and food-friendly. Serve well chilled with shellfish, fresh goat cheese or herb-led salads.
Grosset 2021 Springvale Riesling
Australian White
A pure and finely drawn Riesling, with lime and lemon leading into crisp apple and ripe pear.

Generous without losing precision, it carries through a long, clean finish with the balance to gain further depth in bottle. Excellent with oysters, white fish or lightly spiced dishes.

Australian Red
A deeply coloured, youthful Shiraz with generous dark berry fruit, warm spice and well-judged oak in close harmony.

Paxton 2017 Thomas Block Grenache
Australian Red
A bright and lifted Grenache with fresh strawberry and red cherry joined by crushed rose petal and a dusting of white pepper.

Catena Zapata 2018 Adrianna White Stones
Argentinian White
From just 27 rows of a high-altitude parcel in Gualtallary, this Chardonnay is shaped by white-stone alluvial soils, cool nights and naturally low yields. Lime, orange blossom and restrained orchard fruit meet a precise mineral line, brisk acidity and a long, stony finish. Fermented in French oak with partial malolactic conversion, then aged 12-16 months in seasoned barrels, it remains finely textured rather than overtly oaky. Unfined and unfiltered.
