Of the two single vineyard Chardonnays from Moorooduc Estate, I seemed to lean towards this beauty.

Moorooduc Estate Robinson Chardonnay 2017
With less than 100 dozen produced due to vintage conditions, fight to the front of the queue for this.

Start a Conversation The Common Wine Co. NU Pinot Noir 2019
It's always a privilege to look at wines from small independent producers. It's even more special when you read the stories from which they were born. Created to support charities that are drowning, not waving, this is about giving a leg up to those with few resources.
Hill-Smith Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Off eight hectares in the Eden Valley, this is my first look at this Hill-Smith Estate wine. It's all about texture and body with 65% of the blend seeing 1-4 year old oak (5% was new) for five months.

Moorooduc Estate Chardonnay 2016
Moorooduc's Kate McIntyre describes this Chardonnay as a crooner. Spend some time with it in your glass and you'll see why.

Robert Stein Riesling 2019
More bling than Usain Bolt and justifiably so. Run to this in world record time and you'll see why it's glistening with gold.

Burton McMahon George's Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2018
This ticks along with any great fanfare. You'd like a little spark at this price point but it's all a little ho hum for me.

Burton McMahon D'Aloisio Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2018
From the Seville township in the Yarra Valley, Matt Burton and Dylan McMahon suggest this D'Aloisio site is slightly more expressive and forward.

O'Leary Walker Polish Hill River Riesling 2019
This Riesling from the Clare Valley sub region of Polish Hill River is off an organic site. It's also vegan friendly.

Yalumba Wild Ferments Pinot Grigio 2019
A new label from Yalumba to catch the essence of the vineyard using wild yeasts and minimal intervention. This Pinot Grigio is a pretty handy drop too.
Yalumba Wild Ferments Sauvignon Blanc 2019
My first look at the debut Yalumba Wild Ferments label and I like what a see. Quality Sauv Blanc from the Limestone Coast region.

Burton McMahon Georges Vineyard Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2018
The Georges Vineyard is located in the Yarra Valley's Seville East and perched 180 metres above. This is a generous wine sure to lure you in.
Oliver's Taranga Corrina's Blend 2018
A field blend of Cabernet and Shiraz only released when both varieties ripen at the same time. Winemaker Corrina Wright suggests to have this with a Sunday lamb roast and I'm not going to disagree.
O'Leary Walker Watervale Riesling 2019
Every year I look forward to these Riesling releases from O'Leary Walker. My favour seems to fluctuate depending on which way the breeze blows sometimes. Other years it's just because there is class in a glass.

Brand and Sons Fire and Ice Shiraz 2016
The rebirth of the famous Coonawarra Brand name under a new guise continues its steady rise. Here's a tidy Brand & Sons Shiraz with a fab story behind the label.

Meerea Park Indie Individual Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Cabernet is a variety not often discussed when the Hunter Valley is mentioned. Here's a beauty to wrap your hands around.

Nannup Estate Phillip Stanley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Nannup Estate can be found in the Blackwood Valley region, 70km east of Margaret River. This Phillip Stanley label represents their best fruit and the label is only produced in exceptional years.

Patina Jezza 2016
Is this the best wine I've had from the Orange district? You betcha! It's the type of wine you peruse slowly yet the bottle is drained in no time. I could not resist going back again and again.
