White Wine

92 points Halliday 2019 Companion. Made entirely from Semillon grapes from the Lower Hunter Valley, this wine has a ripe lemon aroma with tropical hints. The palate is medium bodied and round with good depth of flavour and finishes with balanced acidity. The wine is well suited to immediate drinking and will gain toast and lemon curd complexity past 2020.

91 points Halliday 2019 Companion. Made from vineyards in the lower Yarra, this wine has fine honeydew melon and cashew aromas with subtle oak. The palate is medium bodied, finishing with good length and crisp acidity. While typically demure now, the wine will fill out and gain complexity until at least 2020.

This wine combines the freshness and crisp finish of the Grigio style, with the ripe fruit of Gris. It’s best enjoyed while young and fresh, until the end of 2019. Try it with seafood, salads or just by itself.

New in store and a fine progression from the popular 2016 vintage. The tradition of the dry-grown Neil Grace Watervale vineyard with the finesse of the BackVintage winemaking team continues!  

This is a well-balanced, ‘modern’ style of Chardonnay, with fresh flavours and understated oak. It will develop further flavour and complexity through at least 2020.

Woodside in the Adelaide Hills, provided the grapes for this crisp, intensely flavoured wine. These were fermented cold to preserve the classic passionfruit and grassy aromas of the variety. The palate is light-bodied and lively, finishing with fresh acidity. Enjoy it while it’s young, now and through 2019. Try it with seafood, salads or just by itself.

The palate is zesty and textural with a refreshing citrus and grapefruit acid drive. Wild yeast fermentation adds an extra layer of complexity and palate weight without detracting from the freshness of the fruit flavours.
