It s a wine that sets off with lemon/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

RIESLING Larry Cherubino Ad Hoc Wallflower 2015 Great Southern, WA $48 Nick O Leary 2015 Canberra District, ACT $58 Von Buhl Dry 2014 Rhine Pfalz, Germany $58 O Leary Walker Polish Hill 2015 Clare Valley, SA $62 Howard Park Porongorup 2015 Great Southern, WA $65 Crawford River Young Vines 2012 Henty, Victoria $65 Clonakilla 2015 Canberra District, ACT The first of Canberra's 2015 vintage whites flowing onto the market gives us an opportunity to judge the merits of a much-loved season. As the last of the grapes rolled in earlier this year, Ken Helm declared, "The 2015 has outdone even 2013. It ticked every box and is the best across all varieties". And Clonakilla's Tim Kirk wrote of "perfect ripening conditions". Kirk's 2015 Riesling could be the finest of the 40 vintages made to date. Very young Rieslings tend not to reveal all their fruit flavours and take many months, sometimes years, to flourish. However, the 2015 already reveals great purity and intensity. It's clearly of gold-medal standard and may well earn fivestar rating in the months and years ahead. 96 points.

The 2014 is a stellar rendition & a superb follow up to the 2013. Attractive from the outset with white stonefruits, cashew & Brazil nuts, meal, creamed honey & crème frâiche. The palate is a mix of the above adding structure, poise & layer after layer of fruit. The power and richness of the fruit is carried by an undertow of mineral like acidity that takes the wine into a complex, long finish. With the 2014 Barry & Jan Morey reaffirm the position in the very top echelon of Australian Chardonnay. Drink now to 2022. Don t miss it.

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 $75 Ronco Dei Tassi Pinot Grigio 2014 Friuli, Italy $75 Pieropan Soave Calvarino 2012 Veneto, Italy $105

The 2015 vintage is no different being pale in colour and subtle in its fruit character. There is quite a bit going on here with must stick, peach and soft spices running through the wine. It s very dry with very gentle hints of round, ripe red fruits. Another winner and sure to be a favourite over the coming months.

PINOT NOIR AUSTRALIAN/NEW ZEALAND Hoddles Creek 2015 Yarra Valley, VIC $57 STONEY RISE PINOT NOIR 2015 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 2015 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. Another cracker from the ace team at Clonakilla.

The nose shows good perfumed lift with aromas of ripe blackcurrants, blackberries and subtle dark chocolate intensifying with air time, followed by some liquorice, toasty vanillin oak and spice. Full bodied, rich bold flavours of ripe blackcurrants, dark chocolate, blackberries and liquorice swamp the palate with underlying vanillin cedar and spice. The wines richness is perfectly counterpointed by the solid, almost muscular like tannin structure. Excellent length with a long conclusion of ripe blackberries, blackcurrant, liquorice, chocolatey oak and vanillin spice. An amazing wine to have with a big Capitol steak.

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, interesting) wine has been made from the variety. But, that s all changing rapidly historically, considered to come from the 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 2013 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 core flavour. 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.
