It s wi th t s ts off with l mo /lime blossom, steel and citrus perfume, and segues to similar flavours in its tight, driving, mineral laden frame. Classic restraint, but mouth-watering all the same. Impeccable balance and class from Braemore and the 2014 vintage. Outstanding lunchtime & aperitif wine & with all light fresh seafood dishes. Ian Cook $75

The 2015 is another superb Sorrenberg chardonnay with elegant cashew nut, lemon, honeydew melon, smoky struck match, stonefruit and almond meal. Everything one has come to expect from the great Sorrenberg chardonnay. Excellent mid palate layered richness that flows and flows with perfect acid and underlying mi lit to los. G t l gth.

It is very expressive and typical predominately garganega with a little trebbiano di Soave. Pale straw with green reflections; the bouquet is rich in floral, almond and mineral scents. The fresh persistent palate is dominated by almond, apple and white flowers crisp and fresh and perfect with chicken cacciatore or grilled tuna belly. In fact it drinks well with a whole range of foods and keeps all sorts of palates happy. Like our delicate Australian Semillon, this wine really benefits from its screwcap closure. The best ever from Pieropan. Ian Cook $78 Ronco Dei Tassi Pinot Grigio 2015 Friuli, Italy $75 Pieropan Soave Calvarino 2012 Veneto, Italy $105

PINOT NOIR AUSTRALIAN / NEW ZEALAND STONEY RISE PINOT NOIR 2017 TAMAR, TASMANIA Surf and sun-loving Joe Holyman continues to make terrific wines in the Tamar Valley. He hit the ground running a few years back and every vintage of this wine has been delicious. Just released the 2016 displays a stunning colour of vivid magenta, with perfumed crunchy cherry and florals on the nose, followed by plush red fruits in the mouth. Cherry, a touch of meatiness and a juicy fresh acidity make this a very classy wine. It finishes fresh, spicy & succulent. Drink now, or cellar up to five years. Recommended!

No pressure from excessive rain, wind or heat. The Hilltops Shiraz shows this a beautiful wine with cool climate dark and red cherry, lots of brown spice with a lick of pepper and fine savoury tannins to close. Medium bodied and quite seamless.

This is a cracker example, combining the ripe sweet fruit of Shiraz with the firm dusty tannins of Cabernet. The wine is full of rich plum & blackberry fruit with savoury spice notes adding lots of complexity think licorice, nutmeg and cardomon. The intensity, concentration and richness is outstanding. The tannins long and firm with just the right amount of austerity.

Valdeorras is the eastern-most wine zone in Galicia travel further east and you end up in the high, continental hills of Bierzo and the ancient kingdom of Leon. The Mencia grape is a native of the north-west both the continental province of Leon and Atlanticinfluenced Galicia. Despite it clearly being the best red wine variety (of dozens) native to Galicia, outright rusticity in production and elevation of fruit means that until now little good (let alone, i t sti g) wi h s b m d f om th v i t. But th t s ll h gi g idl histo i ll o sid d to om f om th Cabernet Franc cultivar, but evolution sees it an independent variety offering a range of likenesses Northern Rhone, Beaujolais and Burgundy comparisons are appropriate. This wine itself is highly fragrant and floral, with rose petal, pomegranate, blackcurrant and spice aromatics. Trademark Mencia smoky meatiness, gentle fruit tannin and a long herb/acid tang finish. Mid-weight, delicious and very stylish wine. Great current drinking falling somewhere between pinot noir and shiraz.

OTHER RED VARIETALS AND BLENDS AUSTRALIAN PIZZINI SANGIOVESE 2015 KING VALLEY, VICTORIA Sangiovese is the grape variety of Chianti in Tuscany. Pizzini makes one of the very best examples in Australia. The nose is vibrant and fresh, intensely perfumed with lifted notes of plums, spice, red berries and dark cherries. As the wine opens there are lovely herbal and savoury characters with dark cherry fruit as it s o fl vou. It has chalky tannins that line the palate and woody spice notes. Flavours of plum, spiced cherries and earthy tones run through the palate providing length. A charming, medium bodied, European style wine.
