Description Your whites include aromatic South Australian Sauvignon Blanc, luscious Gold-medal Verdelho from Langhorne Creek and stylish Chardonnay from a vineyard on the McLaren Vale estate of Richard Hamilton where fragrant almond trees grow. Lip-smacking rosé is perfectly represented by the two-time Gold-winning Miles from Nowhere from Margaret River. Double Gold Shiraz from the Black Pig family then joins a moreish, Gold-medal Cab Shiraz from RedHeads. Sounds like a party – c'mon everybody!
The rich and ripe 16 Little Black Pigs Shiraz is filled with plum, blackberry and cherry flavours with hints of black pepper and eucalypt. This is a wine that you can drink on its own but will be equally good with food.
Medium-bodied Chardonnay bursting with stone fruit and enhanced by a spiced creaminess thanks to a combination of new French oak and ample maturation on less. The wine finishes dry with a clean, bright, soft acidity.
Take all the joy of a summer fruit salad, with the zip and zing of tropical fruit and a dash of sunshine, distil it into a wine and you will have the miracle that is Verdelho. This sumptuous grape has really made a home for itself here in Australia.
Our search never ends for the best tasting Aussie wines. Thank goodness for our scout, in his classic VW Kombi van, who put in the miles to discover this cracking, tropical white. It's tongue-tinglingly fresh.
The crisp and savoury 93pt Credaro 5 Tales Margaret River Rosé is "Fabulously appealing on the nose with sweet raspberry, apple, apricot and subtle flinty notes, leading to a linear palate that's elegant and lively" (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit).
The Red Sedan is a luscious Cab Shiraz from top South Australian vineyards and the talented RedHeads winery. Like the iconic 1966 Ford Falcon Sedan on the label, this classic is a blast from the past – generous, smoky, black fruit and spiced oak.
