Vermentino is regarded by many as Australia’s great white hope. The argument is compelling given its temperate Mediterranean homeland of Sardinia. Australia has many similarly temperate winegrowing sites with Mudgee right in the zone.
Vermentino has flavours of fresh pear and honeydew melon with a slinky lemon pith mouthfeel and a fresh, bright acidity.

These flavours lend themselves to this unique sparkling style with the burst of bubbles magnifying the vermentino’s inherent generosity.

Very pale white gold in colour with subtle aromas of white nectarine, grapefruit and dragon fruit lifted by the buoyant bubbles.

Discrete flavours that echo the nose – pineapple, grapefruit and white stonefruit with hints of ripe custard apple. The texture is subtle yet carries vermentino’s hallmark lemon pith character. An energetic acidity adds vibrancy to the finish.

Very pale white gold in colour with subtle aromas of white nectarine, grapefruit and lemongrass with a hint of fresh dill.

Gentle flavours that echo the nose along with fresh lychee and pineapple. The texture carries vermentino’s hallmark lemon pith character while a vibrant acidity adds energy to the finish.

Ultra pale lemon and lime tints. Lemon curd and jasmine on the nose. Tight and narrow on the palate entry, lemon and cracked quartz notes show at the core then it fills and builds weight towards the long finish. A lovely saline deliciousness to its finish that demands repeat visits.

Light yellow colour; simple dried-herb and slightly peppery aroma, palate light and crisp, dry and appetising. A simple and refreshing glass of fizz.

A fascinating white grape, Fiano hails from Campania where it’s known as Fiano di Avellino. Fiano enjoys some warmth and has settled comfortably into Australia over the last 20 years. The flavours are rich (think pineapple, pear and custard apple) with a waxy texture and tight, minerally acidity. The best examples of fiano age well.

Pale white gold with lifted aromatics of wild honey, white peach and honeydew melon with a whiff of white pepper and aniseed.

Gentle yet persistent flavours on the palette that reflect the nose with overtones of almond skin and Josephine pear. A fine line of citrus-etched acidity drives the finish to long and satisfying conclusion.

Light lemon hue. Papaya, cut green herbs and seaspray aromatics. Tight and fresh with lemony acidity and tropical fruits. Decent length with brightness that appeals.

Light straw yellow colour. Green papaya and snow pea shoots on the nose. Palate is taut with green apple fruit and a zing of acidity. It hasn’t melded together so there’s a clash of sweet and sour at the finish.

Sangiovese is the backbone variety of Tuscany where it dates back to Etruscan times – its name a corruption of ‘blood of Jove’. Best known under the guise of Chianti, Australia’s first sangiovese vines were planted in Mudgee in the mid 1980’s.

Sangiovese is mid-weight with savoury flavours of sour cherry, fresh tobacco and dusky spices. These flavours echo clearly in this sophisticated rosé.

Pale candy pink in colour with brisk aromas of fresh strawberries, guava and Turkish nougat on the nose.

Strawberries and cream is the first (delicious) impression on the palette but there’s much more depth and character here. The savoury flavours of sangiovese are underpinned by the trace of skin tannin. A vibrant acidity enlivens the finish.

Medium-full salmon-pink with a trace of development; the aroma is at an in-between stage, not fresh and primary but not yet showing secondary complexity, but shy, plain and slightly leafy/savoury. The palate is light and crisp with a little herbal greenness in the middle and a clean, dry, balanced finish that is quite refreshing. Modest length and a clean cut-off.

Bright crimson in colour and a savoury mix of currant, herb, tomato leaf and cola.

Structural and bright with good depth of fruit and intense chalky tannins making for an excellent food wine.

Lovely now, but will also soften over the next couple of years. A very good wine from this Mudgee winery, which specialises in in premium Italian-style expressions.

Lovely colour, bright and vibrant. Lifted aromas of cherry, violets, cedar, bramble and spice. Firm, bright and red fruit driven. Cherry, raspberry, spice, anise and firm tannins are all doing their thing. Savoury, textured and long.

Dark and a youthful red in appearance. Aromas of blackberry, cherry, bramble, spice, earth and dried herbs. Fleshy and dark fruit driven in flavour. There's plenty of flesh and juiciness along with shapely, firm tannins and crunchy acidity.

Inky, dark and opaque in appearance. Brooding, dark aromas of mulberry, plum conserve, anise, dried herbs and spice. Full-flavoured, fleshy and crunchy on the palate. Chock full of blackberry and blueberry flavours, along with anise, coffee and cola. The tannins are firm and serious and the acidity has plenty of snap.
