Corymbia Calgardup Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Propping all that fruit up is some nice cashew, pulled warm bread and lemon rind. There’s a lot of drive and power here, but it’s never overwhelming.

Deep Woods Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2023

A mid-weighted beauty that's spicey with layers of ripe white nectarine and peach leading to a creamy edge and some well-placed oak spice. Drink this early in the week for a little respite from the 9-5 grind!

Folklore Chardonnay 2022

Malo-richness offset by bright acidity. This seems made for cheeses – the gooier the better. Take it to the park at twilight and enjoy the first glass for its vibes while the sun’s still up and the wine is uber cool, then your second after it’s set, when that bit of richness will warm you.

Fervor Funka Riche Chardonnay 2022

It feels like sitting at a cosy pub in late Autumn, early Spring and eating an amazing steak with peppercorn sauce while the AC fans warm air and that smell of cloves, leather and a fireplace (even though the fire’s not been lit in years) float through the air.

Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Syrah 2022

In their 21st iteration of Chardonnay, the crew at Woodlands have an amazing knack for making wines with entirely Wilyabrup Valley fruit that’s 100% spontaneously barrel fermented, so it speaks of the region and presents all its charm. There’s honeysuckle, orchard fruit and some healthy barrel spice, meaning it's a dinner Chardonnay.
