There’s plenty of value for money here, and every sip hits like a chord with a lengthy sustain Nigel Tufnel would be proud of – apologies to our younger Chardonnay lovers who don’t get that reference.

About Time Woodside Chardonnay 2022

It starts with some citrussy snap but thanks to considerable time on lees, it flows into a textural minerality that’ll have the wine complementing your steak, lamb or tofu as it melts in your mouth. You won't want it to finish, but when it does it’ll be chalky and persistent with some cooling herbs, and a big grin. Cheers!

Municipal Whitegate Vineyard Savagnin 2022

Recently, a group of us Blackhearts employees found ourselves at a bar after a work event and our wine (and music) mentor bought us a bottle of wine. This is what they bought us and after a thank you cheers, we were all blessed with the bright and vibrant fruits that were juicy but had the kind of depth you won’t find in many bottles of Beaujo, especially at this price.

Jean Marc Lafont (Dom Bel Air) Les Granits Bleus Beaujolais Village 2022

La Niña and a few cooler growing seasons has allowed Curly Flat to flex their winemaking muscles and give us a Chardonnay that's white stone fruit and grapefruit upfront, with subtle savoury notes and nuanced oak spice elongating the joy and giving some great tension. The cool climes of Macedon have delivered again.

Curly Flat Estate Chardonnay 2022

2022 was a cool climate dream meaning the grapes had an extended time to ripen and, with excellent vineyard management, develop all that extra flavour and those aromatics that leap out of the bottle. Add all the red fruits and berries, and you have a complex and mineral-laced Pinot, with that svelte undergrowth that is as elusive and exciting as finding a truffle.

Curly Flat Estate Pinot Noir 2022

Soave’s had our number for years and this one finished with the savoury, fresh citrus pith we all love. Veneto is full of beauty, and the Le Mandolare vineyard where these grapes are grown, sits in a part of the alps where the land starts to kick up to the sky and the roads meander, surrounded by rows of vines.
