With the accent on value (something Australia is less known for nowadays) this creamy, fruity white does down a treat.

This unoaked Chardonnay offers a rich and creamy mouth feel that leads to lovely soft tropical fruits and orange zest on the palate. Zingy acidity underpins the flavours and keeps them lingering on the palate.

A wine to show that not every Chardonnay from Australia is a 'table-chewing' monster!

The Bird in Hand range is a limited release of premium quality wines created from the best parcels of fruit from every vintage.

From the Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills, an outstanding Australian Chardonnay. Hand picked, barrel fermented and aged in oak for 12 months. Superb, buttery, rounded, white peach fruit, beautiful oak and acidity. Superb Wine.

Clean tasting Chardonnay - attractively light in body, and no oak.

Unoaked Chardonnay - pure, vibrant and aromatic..a real crowd pleaser.

Golden yellow in colour with a fruity nose of apricot, peach and passion fruit. Lush and big bodied on the palate, with hints of grapefruit.

A fine elegant unoaked Chardonnay in the Macon tradition. Lovely fresh fruit and good weighty central palate and a lovely fresh finish.
Good with seafood or salads or a glass by the barby!

Aromas of spring flowers; blackcurrant leaves with juicy flavours of greengages and citrus fruits…delicious.

The wine itself has a nose of pears and white peaches and a hint of grapefruit. Well balanced on the palate with a fresh minerality and a long finish.

With wonderful aromas of baked apple, the age of the vines has has added complexity, richness and depth of flavour. The palate remains nervy and fresh to the finish. This is a textured and full flavoured expression of Chablis.

Marvellous depth of flavour and rich finish provided by these older vines.

Lovely, balanced ripe fruit and minerality.

An assembly of different climates of Fuisse which gives it complexity and balance. It is a wine that is powerful and fat with a nice typical Burgundy mineral freshness.

With a pale green-golden colour and aromas of pippin apples and fresh almonds these wines are very supple, nicely balanced by discrete acidity and have a good length in the mouth. The wines will be ready for tasting after 3-5 years due to their suppleness but their quality will generally assure their peak for up to 10 or 12 years. Complex and fine, the wines from Vallet Frères have a great following.

(Tasting notes July 2013) Nose of toasted honey almonds and a hint of lime.
Still slightly underdeveloped and a little bitter, wood a little too prominent, notes of cooked lemons and mild tobacco! lots of length, high acidity.
Verdict. A bit unbalanced at present but should develop, needs six months in the bottle or a good opening
.

Top notch Chablis - young but very forward.

This is a special cuvee in honour of his Yves' grandfather, Fernand. The grapes come from four very high quality plots starting from 'Les Pellans' in the south leading to 'Les Pelles Dessous' and 'Au Moulin Landin' next to the village and ending with 'Le Pre de Manche' in the north. With a total of 1.26 hectares under vine and an exposure arcing round from east to south on limestone and marl soils, these wines are rich, well-structured with a long, persistent finish.

Contrary to initial expectations, many of the white Burgundy wines in 2009 are absolutely stunning. They began to show their true qualities only after the summer, when a mineral backbone appeared in support of the graceful, ripe fruit.
The wines have a striking purity of fruit, are beautifully understated with a perfect harmony of wood and fruit.

Another fantastic wine from Marchesi di Gresy - producer of rich reds and delicious, quality white wines.

A blend of Viognier, Vermentino and Chardonnay, this is crisp and zesty with tropical fruit, lime and apple flavours. Delicious with seafood.

Showing ripe but restrained fruit, intelligent use of oak and a flinty mineral backbone it is at the pinnacle of the style in New Zealand.

Straw coloured with aroma of very fresh fruit. A well structured wine in great harmony with wood.
