The Sparklings - Ben Haines Blanc de Now 2021 This bright, fresh sparkling wine from Ben Haines (located in the Yarra Valley) has the perfect vibe between complex and subtle. The textured effervescence excites the palate leaving gripping umami notes, forcing you to come back for more. We don't need to be asked twice. Hot tip: It's called Blanc de Now for a reason, drink up!
- Karatta Sparkling Shiraz-Cabernet NV For those wanting something a little different to kick off this holiday season, Karatta's sparkling shiraz from Robe in South Australia will hit the spot. Think of cherries, licorice, and blackberry with balanced tannins and sweet fruit spices. Hot tip: This wine is perfect to drink with your favorite cheeses and charcuterie.
The Whites - Best's Great Western Riesling 2022 Founded in 1866, Best's Wines (located in the Grampians) is one of Australia's oldest wineries. This wine has aromas of kaffir lime and nashi pear with a jasmine lift (sounds like summer, right?). Zesty citrus, crunchy red apple skin, and supported by a steely backbone this wine is sure to transport you from the frosty streets of New York to an Aussie summer's day. Hot tip: This wine is great to drink now but will gain complex toasty aromas and flavors if cellared for a few years.
- Bare Winemakers Chardonnay 2021 Bare's chardonnay from South Australia has aromas of lemon, grapefruit, and peaches that play together with toasted cashew and cinnamon spice. The palate develops from a lovely fresh acidity down the middle, balancing lovely citrus flavors and good length. Hot tip: This wine is perfect pairing with a bowl of mac and cheese in front of the Boxing Day Test match.
The Reds - Ashbrook Estate Shiraz 2017 We haven't forgotten our West Coast buddies. Located in the Mediterranean climes of Margaret River, Ashbrook Estate has produced this shiraz that's bursting with ripe raspberry, redcurrant, and cherry plum, leather aromas with hints of violet and sweet spice. Fine tannins, a succulent depth of flavor, and balanced acidity result in a wine that is extremely easy to drink. Hot tip: This is a great wine for all the red meat lovers out there and would pair really well with your Mum's roast lamb recipe.
- Tim Smith 'Bugalugs' Grenache 2022 We love the name of Tim Smith's Grenache! This wine from the Barossa Valley has rich dark cherry aromas along with plums, black pepper, thyme, and a splash of coffee. Medium-bodied it is fleshed out with soft, rounded fruit flavors, dried herbs, and earthy nuances. Hot tip: This wine is perfect for slow-cooked meats and casseroles, so get that Crock-pot warmed up, line up your latest binge list, and kick back with a glass (or two)!
