Richland 2015 Pinot Grigio
The Calabria family just seem to be going from strength to strength. The 2012 picked up a gold medal at Royal Melbourne as well as Blue Gold and a place in the Top 100 at the Sydney International Wine Competition. The 2014 scored a Gold Medal at Royal Adelaide. This latest release is every bit as impressive and is what this variety should taste like: a dazzling crisp dry white with a delicious flavour profile. Impossible to recommend highly enough.

Credaro Family Estate 2009 Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon
Introducing Credaro Estate, a new star from Margaret River that's already scored Halliday's top 5 star ranking.
This Northern Italian family arrived in Margaret River in the early 1920s. They finally got around to commercial grape growing in the 1980s with their winery opening in 2003.
In 2011 they won the Perth Wine Show Trophy for most successful exhibitor scoring the highest average points per entry of the 371 wineries that entered.

Allandale 2011 Hunter Chardonnay
While the Hunter Valley is justifiably famed for its semillon, it also regularly produces some damn fine chardonnays. Here's one that easily justifies a $25 price tag.
And sometimes the winemaker really nails it with their back label notes:
"VITICULTURE: Fruit was sourced from the old established Trevena Vineyard on Hermitage Road. WINEMAKING: Cold fermented in stainless steel, finished in high quality French oak, gaining complexity for a further six months. PALATE & BOUQUET: Stone fruit and fig aromas dominate, complemented by cashew nut from new French oak. Extended ageing on yeast lees adds a creamy/bready weight to the palate."
Our Price: $16 per bottle by the dozen

Victory Point 2009 Margaret River Chardonnay

"Gleaming, bright green-straw; made using Burgundian clones 76, 95, 96 and 277, plus the Mendoza clone, a distinguished assemblage that has duly produced a distinguished, finely drawn and structured wine of great length and intensity; will be long lived."
RRP is $40 and I reckon it's even a bargain at that price. Apparently Halliday also rated the previous two vintages the same. Fruit is from vines that have never been irrigated and small French oak has been used.
RRP: $40
Our Price: $28 per bottle by the dozen

Haselgrove 2007 Vincent's Breeze Chardonnay

The clue was always in the high acid level when we tasted it. There's only 12.5% alcohol yet plenty of fruit that has now integrated with the oak to create a superb bottle aged little gem. The wine will live for quite awhile yet and it's in much better condition than our supplies which are close to an end.
