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

This is an excellent introduction to arguably Australia s best riesling producer. Abundant lemon, lime, passionfruit, ginger spice and apple are all woven into a juicy fresh palate. Fresh acidity,and a laser like purity carry the wine through to a long crisp finish. It s bone dry and super fresh. All natural acidity & 50% whole bunch pressed. Excellent with all white fleshed fish, chilled crustaceans and entree salads. Love this wine.

CHARDONNAY AUSTRALIAN Wickhams Road 2014 Yarra Valley, VIC $48 Bloodwood 2013 Orange, NSW $70 Farr Rising 2014 Geelong, VIC $79 Moorooduc Estate 2012 Mornington Peninsula, VIC $85 Curly Flat 2011 Macedon Ranges, VIC $88 SORRENBERG CHARDONNAY 2012 BEECHWORTH, VICTORIA Consistently one of our absolute favourite Australian chardonnay s and the 2012 is no different. Perhaps a touch richer than the previous vintage but with similar elegance and effortless intensity of flavour. Yellow florals, wax and cashew nut dominate the bouquet whilst the palate shows peach, almond and a touch of minerality which is softened by the seamless inclusion of toasty vanilla oak. There are hints of minerality too which are aided by tightly coiled acidity which suggest the wine has a number of years ahead of 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 2013 Friuli, Italy $75 Pieropan Soave Calvarino 2012 Veneto, Italy $105

There s a more savoury feel to the wine this year courtesy of the inclusion of 19% Shiraz whilst the inclusion of the white grape Ugni Blanc gives a freshness & vitality. As per usual the main varietal in the blend is Grenache the master variety of the Rose wines of Provence. As always, one of the finest, dry, textural rosé wines made in Australia and not to be missed. Great drinking all through spring / summer & all the better when paired with food.

PINOT NOIR AUSTRALIAN / NEW ZEALAND Hoddles Creek 2013 Yarra Valley, VIC $57 STONEY RISE PINOT NOIR 2014 TAMAR, TASMANIA Surf and sun-loving Joe Holyman has gone back to his native Tasmania and purchased one of the state s most distinguished sites, Rotherhythe (Tamar Valley). He hit the ground running a few years back and every vintage of this wine has been delicious. Just released the 2014 displays a stunning colour of vivid magenta, with perfumed raspberry and florals on the nose, followed by plush red fruits in the mouth. Cherry, raspberry, strawberry and a juicy fresh acidity make this a very classy wine. Richer in style than the 2013 it finishes fresh, spicy & succulent Ian Cook $58 Ata Rangi Crimson 2013 Martinborough, NZ $70 Lark Hill 2013 Canberra District, ACT $85 Amisfield 2012 Central Otago, NZ $95 Curly Flat 2011 Macedon Ranges, VIC $100 By Farr Farrside 2011 Geelong, VIC $125 Felton Road 2012 Central Otago, NZ $130 Bass Phillip Estate 2011 Gippsland, VIC $150 PINOT NOIR INTERNATIONAL Domaine Bouchard Bourgogne La Vignee 2012 Burgundy, France $85 Benjamin Leroux Savigny les Beaune 2011 Burgundy, France $110 Benjamin Leroux Volnay 2011 Burgundy, France $168 Harmand Geoffroy Gevrey-Chambertin 2011 Burgundy, France $195 Domaine de la Vougeraie Chambolle-Musigny 2011 Burgundy, France $240

This has a deep redpurple hue and clean ripe aromas of black cherry and subtle spices. It s elegant and sweetly fruited in the mouth with good intensity and length. A very fine wine possibly the best yet under this label. 93 Points.

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 Atlantic-influenced 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 Hewitson Miss Harry Grenache Blend 2012 Barossa Valley, SA $55 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.
