The Semillon Sauvignon blend has traditionally worked well and this example from a family owned and run estate in South Australia shows why. A fragrant aromatic nose is backed up by on the palate with a firm flavour and crisp finish.

Chardonnay is very much the Australian flagship white grape and this example from a family owned and run estate in South Australia shows why. A deliciously fruity nose is balanced a ripeness on the palate and a lovely soft but crisp finish.

The cooler climate of the Yarra valley is ideal for the Chardonnay grape and this tiny production wine illustrates why. A delicious toasty nose and on the palate it is both elegant and balanced with a persistent finish.

The recently revived Heathcote region is showing its paces and the Tellurian (Latin, for"of the earth") winery illustrates why. A firm, clean nose with touches of orange and honeysuckle. A nicely weighted wine with a good balance and length.

Shiraz is very much the Australian flagship and this example from a family owned and run estate in South Australia shows why. A lovely perfumed nose, typical of shiraz but with weight behind it. A soft, easy going palate with a lightly dry finish.

From a new and energetic winery near Melbourne this is a cooler part of Victoria making elegant wines. A stunningly classic grassy, minty Cabernet Sauvignon nose is partnered with an elegant palate with good length on the finish.

The Yarra valley, near Melbourne, has a climate that is particularly suited to the Pinot Noir grape as this wine amply illustrates. A distinctive, perfumed nose with a touch of classic Pinot Noir strawberry. A well balanced, elegant wine.
