White Australia

Australia’s white wine reputation may once have rested largely on Chardonnay, but today the country’s cooler regions are producing wines of remarkable precision and character across a range of varieties. Our selection makes a compelling case for modern Australian Chardonnay through Handpicked Wines from the Mornington Peninsula and Soumah of the Yarra Valley — elegant, restrained expressions shaped by cooler climates. But the real discovery lies in the Eden Valley Rieslings of Brothers At War, whose Pendee Farm and The Grape Grower are among the most distinctive examples of a style that deserves far wider recognition. Joined by a Pinot Gris of real charm and individuality, this is a small but carefully chosen selection that rewards curiosity.
