    2025 Dhillon Macedon Ranges Chardonnay
    Offer: $39
    This is an ongoing Michael Dhillon project borne of the granite soils at Glenhope, at the northern end of the Macedon Ranges at 460m above sea-level. The vineyard was established in 1995 and Michael says that this fragrant, stoney, gently spicy chardonnay has delicious, subtle fruit complexity of lemon, mandarin and yellow plum. It is, of course, youthful and vigorous, with creamy textural mouthfeel that builds power, drive and austerity for a long finish." It is fermented in barrels spontaneously, and matured in said barrels of which 20% are new (surprising, because this gets totally lost within the wine). This is really lovely and elegant, but it has an impressive core of good strong fruit running through the palate; and it will age gracefully also. Cheers, Randall.

    2024 Cullen Cabernet Merlot
    Offer: $49
    “It’s medium-bodied, but quite thick and chewy, not polished up too much, and also has some bitter dark chocolate in the mix, blackcurrant, dried herbs, balanced acidity, and a finishes with some roast red capsicum and a fair bit of perfume. Lots of Cullen in your glass at pretty fair price." 94Pts. - Gary Wlash, The Wine Front

    2025 Kevin John Chardonnay
    $195 | Offer: $180
    "... On the nose, we have notes of stone fruits, jasmine, peaches, nectarines and beautifully integrated oak. The structure is seamless and there is a fine line of acidity running the full length of the wine...” 98Pts. - Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot
