Chardonnay / Barossa / SouthAustralia
Barossa makes a gentler style of Chardonnay. The Schrapel family had the foresight to sow Chardonnay vines long ago, the quality of fruit that grows from these old plantings is now outstanding. A fortnight of ferment is followed by two months of lees stirring battonage on sedimentery lees. Grapefruit, apples and pears to the bouquet, the palate flows with delicate flavours, bakery and butternut, golden apple, peaches and quince. Like all great Chardonnay, Bethany affords the opportunity to experience a growing complexity of remarkable richness as the wine breathes and continues to evolve.

Riesling / Great Western / Victoria
A compilation of several blocks Great Western Riesling, treated to the luxury of a wild indigenous yeast ferment in a single, extravagant 2500 litre French oak foudre, coopered at the Burgundy barrel works of Marc Grenier. Candidate parcels of fruit must exhibit the wanton opulence of floral nectars and honeyed sweetness before entering the Frankish Foudre, its slowly fermenting juices coalesce into a full flavoured Riesling wine with the grainyness of oatmeal and autolysis of oak, roman nougat and spice, magnificently gingered with bickford lime and crisp acid finish.

PinotGris Grigio / Gippsland / Victoria
There are only two hectares of Pinot Grigio at Bellvale but they are very well provided for, planted to well drained, moderately fertile ferrous soils, they yield a wine of sound structure and refined acidity. A rigorous regimen of pruning and canopy management is essential to the quality of fruit, there is no sleight of hand at the Bellvale wineworks, the ultimate quality of wine is determined as fruit ripens on the vine.

Chardonnay / Gippsland / Victoria
There are a mere five hectares Chardonnay at Bellvale, planted to a number of clones for opulence and complexity. Burgundian techniques of viticulture are the order of day, it is after all Gippsland, vine density is high and crop load is duly limited for harvests of the most superior quality. Time spent working vintages along the Cote d'Or translates into a refined, textural cool climate Chardonnay that's mineral and crisp, due to higher acidity, tightly structured, with a well defined balance between fruit, secondary evolved characters and seamlessly integrated oak.

Chardonnay / Gippsland / Victoria
The small but dedicated team at Bellvale take inspiration from the big boned Chardonnays of Cote de Beaune, drawing fruit off five closely managed hectares on the temperate, maritime windswept pasteurs of Gippsland south. Hand picking and sorting are a matter of course, lees exposure, barrel ferments and traditional Burgundian regimens add palate weight and flesh. A crisp, mineral style, defined by its penetrating acid line and evocative of Chablis, its fresh cut orchard fruit character and juicy apple zip are supported by a wafer of creamily spiced oak.

PinotGris Grigio / Mornington / Victoria
After founding Mornington's eminent Moorooduc Estate and contract winemaking for Mornington's leading brands, Richard McIntyre established a small family operated vineyard, with a view to producing limited yields of the most exquisite small batch wines. A single estate parcel of dry grown Pinot Gris at Main Ridge is hand picked and fastidiously sorted before being treated to a minimalist vinification. The inclusion of a dash Gewurztraminer infuses wonderfully delicate perfumes, candied pear and autumnal spice, a mouth filling style of juicy, creamy ripeness.

Chardonnay / Mornington / Victoria
Bellingham's closely coddled block at Main Ridge yields a quality of Chardonnay which articulates the expression of a very special site. Hand picked fruit is whole bunch pressed and barrel fermented in a mix of new and seasoned French oak, followed by a traditional regimen of lees stirring and shrewd course of partial malolactic. The judiciousness of restrained oak encourages delicate white peach and subtle florals to emerge, a light toastyness and vanilla pod characters in support of juicy stone fruits, finish seamlessly on a length of perfectly pitched citrus acid.

Chardonnay / Pemberton / WesternAustralia
Bellarmine jugs were used throughout the middle ages to carry wine from oak cask to table. The Bellarmine property at Pemberton was planted entirely by hand, vines were trained from ground up, to expose the ripening grapes to optimal sunshine. The terroirs and clime here are a Chardonnay maker's dream come true. Soils are red gravel laterite, offering excellent drainage while providing warmth to the vine root systems at night, courtesy of heat that the gravels have absorbed during the day. A lightly oaked wine, highly evocative of the dry and fruity Chablis style.

PinotGris Grigio / King Valley / Victoria
De Bortoli established their Bellariva vineyard at King River near the base of Victoria's snowfields in 1994. Planted to some of the more exotic Italianate grapes, it is the source of Pinot Grigio for a wine that's more about vitality and style. Finely polished, juicy and fragrantly aromatic, finely textured and dry, its soft stonefruit characters, lemon lime sherbet flavours and withheld acidity make Bella Riva an engaging, food friendly style which will appeal to all comers, above all it is delicious.

Chardonnay / Gippsland / Victoria
The tranquil pasturelands of Gippsland share an affinity for Chardonnay with the timeless terroirs of La Bourgogne. Bass Phillip pioneered viticulture here, introducing the noblest of white grape in the 1980s. Phillip Jones maintains strictly controlled yields on his fastidiously husbanded Leongatha property, a costly regimen of pruning which permits less than a tonne and a half of fruit to the acre. The reward comes in the form of a buttery Montrachet style, brimming with grapefruits, bracing with crystal minerality and framed by a veneer of polished golden oak.

Rose petals, lychee and turkish delights, pears to the palate, lanolin, calico and a supple squeeze of lemon spice, this is the Schonburger which claimed Winestate's Alternative White Varietal of Year, no mean feat for a tiny Tasmanian. The allure and charm of such a precocious varietal is formed in the vineyard, an abundance of daily sunshine within a cooler clime, develops articulate fruit esters while allowing the extra time to bloom into complete ripeness.
