Three wines make up the "Premier Range" for Mayfield Vineyard and this Block 14 Chardonnay is by far the best of the lot - well, I think so anyway. Flinty with a concentration of peach, this a fabulous wine hailing from Orange, NSW.

Briar Ridge Stockhausen Shiraz 2022
Josef Chromy Chardonnay 2022
Quite a commercial style of Chardonnay, it's easy to see why this has so much appeal. It's a crowd pleaser done well with some sprinkle dust to add polish.
blü hen Riesling 2022
Riesling but a little bit different. Barrel fermented, this release from Mudgee, NSW, delivers a neat textural vibe.

Barossa Boy Risk It For The Biscuit Semillon 2022
Risk It For The Biscuit - one of those fascinating names for a wine. There is a great mouthfeel and presence with this Semillon. I've encountered some Barossa Semillon that has just been a hot mess - overripe and gloopy. This is a fabulous wine that is neatly balanced and shows bright fruit.
Stonehaven Limited Vineyard Release Chardonnay 2022
What a tidy wine this is! It's not going to break the bank and it's not going to bring home a swag of trophies, but it will deliver pleasure to those who seek a solid and reliable example of Chardonnay.

blü hen Shiraz Riesling 2022
Don't look at Shiraz Riesling and say, "Oh what!" but rather belt out, "Oh yeah!". This is a juicy, vibrant and energetic wine that screams for large pours and generous plates of food. And how is that label for capturing the eye with brilliant shelf appeal?
Hesketh Midday Somewhere Shiraz 2022
Midday somewhere sounds like beer o'clock but in this case we splash Shiraz in the glass.
Hesketh Unfinished Business Pinot Noir 2022
Unfinished business in my book is an open bottle of wine and empty glasses nearby. But hey, that's me. This version of the definition is a Pinot Noir from the Limestone Coast.

Mercer Wines Malbec 2022
As we near peak fire pit and slow-cooked meal season, keep this Mercer Wines Malbec handy - it's a beauty. And then there is that colour! Coupled with eye-catching shelf appeal, it's a great drink.

Bobar Wines Chardonnay 2022
It's great to see Bobar come across the tasting bench. I've only ever had their Gamay previously which was bought on recommendation (note, it was superb!). Sunshine in a glass, this Chardonnay doesn't miss a beat. A smart expression of the variety and then some.

O'Leary Walker Seasonal Release Pinotage 2022
The debut release of this O'Leary Walker Pinotage was in 2019. A great drink back then, you'd be pleased to know little has changed. Silky with plenty of red and blue fruits, this is a joy to drink.

Parker Estate Cool Climate Pinot Noir 2022
An easy-going entry-level Pinot Noir from Parker Estate. With some oomph to kick it along, it's on the denser side of the Pinot scale.

Barratt Wines Uley Vineyard Chardonnay 2022
I love the energy and texture here. This is my first look at the Barratt Uley Vineyard Chardonnay and I like what I see.

Yelland and Papps Brumeux Rousanne 2022
More funk than Funky Cold Medina and more layers than those Instagram rainbow layer cakes, this is an absolute joy to drink. Cool, considered, and edgy, it's a wine that hits the high hats time and again.

Gaelic Cemetery White Hut Riesling 2022
Tightly wound, this Clare Valley Riesling from Gaelic Cemetery is ready to cut loose with its focused acidity.
