Pale salmon pink in hue, this is a really attractive colour for a rosé. Made from old-vine Grenache, the nose is fresh and full of strawberries but with a herbal note adding interest. It is dry and quite restrained on the palate with more ripe, crunchy strawberry fruit balanced by an appealing freshness, making you want to take another sip. Perfect on its own or a good accompaniment to mid-week dining al fresco.

Frankland Estate was established by Barrie Smith and Judi Cullam in 1988. It is located in the Frankland River district, a cool climate region about 200km inland from the southwest coast of Western Australia. The Isolation Ridge vineyard was developed on part of a 3,000 acre property in the Frankland River region on which the family has run a wool growing enterprise since 1974.

The team at Frankland Estate always create stunning wines. This Riesling is pure. So pure, in fact, that alongside the zippy, fresh apple and lime, you get a sense of place and of the wondrous terroir. A perfume envelops that lime and there is an endearing acidity on the finish. A second glass is a requirement.

Exclusive to Berry Bros. & Rudd, this is Larry’s take on a traditional Alsatian Field Blend (Pinot Grigio, Gewurztraminer, Sauvignon Gris and Riesling), mixing the grapes together at picking and co-fermenting so the proportions of the varieties remain unknown. The nose is highly perfumed with pronounced aromas of rose petals. The palate has delicate peachy fruit but is broad textured and weighty with a long, spicy finish. Drink now to 2017. Match with Vietnamese summer rolls, Pad Thai, roasted vegetable tart.

This wine comes from Johnno’s vineyard, which sits just below the winery and was planted in 1908. 100 + year old Semillon vines, basket pressed. Made in a style reminiscent of the Hunter semillons of yesteryear. The result is a more textural style of Semillon, a contrast to the dry, minerality of the Vat 1. The nose has a lovely florality with hints of Orange blossom, Honeysuckle and Lemon Grass. The palate has a rich intensity of citrus (Grapefruit, Mandarin orange) fruit allied with a piercing acidity and hint of chalkiness that creates a great finish and snap at the back palate enticing one back for more. Drink now – 2025+.

The 2014 is stunning, an very interesting, Riesling-esque nose, with similarities to great Chenin Blanc. Wonderful texture on the palate, rich, full-bodied , rounded and crisp. This is of course still very young, but gives great pleasure even now. Probably the best Hunter Valley Semillon I have ever tasted.

A pioneer of the Hunter Valley – Tyrrell’s wines, a by-word for the highest quality and age worthy Semillon.  Today Tyrrell’s still sets the benchmark for this region, producing not just Semillons, but Chardonnays and Shirazes that are amongst the best if not the finest in the Hunter when their vineyards and the vintage align.  Focus at Tyrrell’s has returned to producing middle range to premium wines and the increased emphasis on quality is evident in their recent releases.
