Tahbilk Marsanne 2023A challenging vintage, that included a 1 in 100-year flood event, has delivered wines of wonderful depth of flavour and character. The intense floral, citrus and tropical fruits of this iconic Marsanne testament to that ... fresh acidity and a clean minerality adding to its appeal. Further complexity will undoubtedly come with age. TAHBILK2023MarsanneAustralia397$19.00 As low as $17.10

Ricca Terra 'Juicy June' 2023It's sweet-fruited and fresh – it's a chillable red wine – but it has more shape than you might expect, and lovely (red-berried) fruit too. It's been made for quaffing, but if you're going to do something, do it well, and that's what they've done here. CAMPBELL MATTINSON, Halliday Wine Companion2023Australia473$21.00 As low as $18.90

Elm Bomba Bianco 2023Emerging winemaker Madeleine Marson has launched her first wines under the ELM label. ELM wines pay tribute to the upbringing Madeleine and her two sisters, Emily and Laura (together ELM), had in the Yarra Valley and Heathcote, where winemaking and the traditions of the Italian family table were strongly held. A long (official and unofficial) apprenticeship under the instruction of her father, Mario Marson, followed, and together they now run Vinea Marson in Heathcote. There, Madeleine got her hands on some parcels of fruit from Heathcote and the Alpine Valleys and crafted these playful takes on Italian family favourites.
The 'Bomba Bianco' is inspired by Friulian white blends, designed to be enjoyed at the table with good food and in the company of family and friends. ELM 'Bomba Bianco' is made from white varieties typical of north-eastern Italy's where blended wines are popular to create food-friendly, dry white wines. With a delightful nose of meadow flowers, honey, cinnamon and nutmeg, the wine's rich and complex palate is complemented by typical phenolic diversity and good length. Damn! This is good!

La Celia Uco Valley 'Bustos' Malbec 2023Eugenio Bustos was the founder of the winery and the first to put vines in the ground. He began the groundswell for what is considered today to be one of the great Malbec producing regions on the planet. While most of the focus is on Mendoza the cooler reaches of the Uco Valley plays beautifully into malbecs suave fruit profile lending a little more aromatic lift, fresh snap and vibrancy. For our money we see this relatively new region as a bit of hot-bed of great Argentinian malbec.
We tried through a few levels of the wines from Bustos and this was easily the hit of the trio. Why? It was definitely about the freshness and energy of this cuvee. The others felt encumbered by either overripe clunky fruit or heavy-handed oak. This was the sweet spot of perfectly ripe, lush dark fruits and crisp tannins that melded perfectly together.
On the nose its sweet blackberry compote fruit is so inviting while wafts of sweet and savoury spice like clove and age entice even more. Mid weight but not shy to show off a little with gobs of ripe blackberry, black currant and black plumb fruit and we think that's exactly what you want. Despite all that it feels nimble and at ease. Deftly handed oak and singing along.

Thymiopoulos ATMA White 2023Apostolos Thymiopoulos' Atma range (meaning 'soul') uses young grapes – here about 25% of tropical Malagousia to join Xinomavro from his biodynamic vineyards, a red grape unusually vinified as a white wine here.

Rocky Gully Riesling 2024
Always such a reliable, great-value Riesling from the Smith Cullam family of Frankland Estate, one of Australia's undisputed champions of this variety.
Fresh, pure and with generous Riesling flavour, it never fails to hit the spot. It shows abundant blossom and stone fruit, citrus and melon on the nose. Bath salt, talc and delicate spice undertones. A nicely weighted wine with a generosity of flavour and white stone fruit. Delicate and precise on the palate with generosity of fruit, persistent length of flavour and soft texture.

Yering Lane Pinot Noir 2023
Located in the heart of the Yarra Valley in the sub region of Gruyere, Martingale is a first-generation family run vineyard. Focusing predominantly on Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah from their 40-acre property of which 20 acres is under vine.
This new entry level Pinot is about as good as you'll see coming out of the Valley for this price. Generous and packed with varietal flavour, it has a great mouthfeel and bursts with juicy cherry, red plum and subtle spice. PWS

Kumeu River Village Pinot Gris 2023
Made by Master of Wine Michael Brajkovich from sustainably grown Pinot Gris grapes that are hand-harvested and sorted in their Kumeu Vineyards then gently whole-bunch pressed. Fermented using local wild yeast with extended maturation on the yeast lees. This is always an absolute belter of a wine and 2023 has captured warm sunny fruit with zesty freshness making it just a little bit irrestable.
Lovely peach and stone fruit notes tinged with the floral perfume that gives it a little honsuclkle lift. he wine is brimming with energy that helps drive the perfectly sweet fruits. Love the balance here. This absolutely hits the spot.

Wickhams Road Yea Pinot Noir 2023
I forget what Franco said on his little back label spiel, as I’ve given the bottle away, though it was something along the lines of ‘High acidity from this site, so no need for adds’.
It’s a bit spicy and mulchy, poached strawberry and raspberry, a little mint and floral perfume. It’s crisp, sappy, lively, a smudgy feel to tannin, slightly smoky and tobacco-laced, with a juicy finish of good length, gentle dusty tannin trailing. Nice.. GARY WALSH, The Wine Front
Cooler and drier than their Hoddles Creek vineyards, this Yea Valley pinot is the most reticent and fine-boned of this year's three Wickhams pinots. A light, bright red, this has scents of redcurrants, a little strawberry and blood orange. The palate is compact and very nicely balanced, with gently grippy tannins suggesting that this will need another six to 12 months to unfurl and grow into itself.

De Bortoli Vinoque Same Same 2023A blend of 65/35% pinot meunier/noir. If not the same-same as last year's, then pretty close. A light, vibrant red wine chock-full of red berries and spice. Incredibly easygoing and quite delicious on the palate. Hardly any tannin to mention, and the perfect picnic quaffer, served slightly chilled. PHILIP RICH, Halliday Wine Companion
Bright ruby and purple in the glass. Fragrant red cherry and crushed amaro herb aromas. Redcurrant fruit on the palate with some bunchy herbal notes. Brightly fresh with lively acidity that carries to a decent length with a brush of tannins drying the finish. Serve slightly chilled.

Colomba Bianca Grillo 2023
Colomba Bianca Grillo is a delightful white wine from Sicily, crafted from the Grillo grape, a variety native to the island. Known for its aromatic complexity and vibrant freshness, this wine presents a bouquet of citrus fruits, green apple, and floral notes, with a hint of minerality that reflects the Mediterranean terroir.
On the palate, Colomba Bianca Grillo is crisp and well-balanced, with bright acidity that gives it a refreshing quality, making it an ideal companion for seafood, pasta with light sauces, or fresh salads. The wine’s clean finish and versatility make it a great choice for casual sipping or pairing with a variety of dishes. This wine showcases the excellence of Sicilian winemaking, offering both quality and great value.

Fontaleoni Vernaccia di San Gimignano 2023Fontaleoni is a family estate run by brother and sister team, Matteo and Simona Troiani, with a little help from consultant Paolo Caciorgna. They've succeeded in producing a range that is emblematic of the best of what the region has to offer with particular emphasis on Vernaccia which, it has to be said, has been a revelation in the years since we first started seeing them in Australia.
Bright and somewhat crunchy with a direct line of fresh apple like acidity. Plenty to enjoy here with all the usual elements you would want from Vernaccia of this quality, apple fruit, lemon oil and white flowers along with just enough texture to provide a little tactile interest. Clean and clear cut and something I will be drinking a lot of as the weather starts to warm up again2023VernacciaItaly495$25.00 As low as $22.50 -

Forest Hill Highbury Fields Chardonnay 2023Tasty stuff, easy drinking, ticks boxes for chardonnay 101. Nice whiffs of peach and nectarine, some ginger, a touch of nougat and faint green almond. The palate quite citrusy and green-apple driven, a little juicy, a lick of that nougat from the bouquet here, too, with a tangy, pineapple-y finish. Fun stuff, done well, good times.

Fontaleoni Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG 2023
Fontaleoni is a family estate run by brother and sister team, Matteo and Simona Troiani, with a little help from consultant Paolo Caciorgna. They've succeeded in producing a range that is emblematic of the best of what the region has to offer and packaged it up with some of the besta value coming out of the region.
Unbelievable value again this year. A bit of white pepper and sour cherry fruit that opens into a slight darker fruit profile in the glass. Same goes on the palate with a little more dark plumb and morello cherry here than in other years. Plushly fruited but all held together with nice savoury tannins and a splash of leathery spice.

De Bortoli Estate Pinot Noir 2023From three, mainly south and east facing sites, all planted in the early 1990's. A light, bright ruby red. Red plum, cherries and pomegranate combine with some crushed flowers and white pepper in this stylish and, always, well priced wine. The palate is light to medium bodied with those aforementioned red fruits, some underbrush and very fine, persistent tannins. PHILIP RICH, Halliday Wine Companion
The Estate Vineyard wines are elegant, handcrafted wines that reflect the unique characters of the De Bortoli Yarra Valley Estate in Dixons Creek where this essentially single vineyard wines from mature vine is made with minimal handling and thoughtful winemaking. Exceptional quality
with a distinct sense of place.
There is a lovely smokey cedary thing going on here, its really inviting giving the pure red fruits and soft sweet spices a lovely counterpoint. A touch of darky cherry and a little wild strawberry as well. That smoky things continues on the palate with combo of black and red forest fruits to the fore and a little garrigue like finish that close it out. It looks pretty serious in some sense but at the same time easy to drink, keeping you come back for more.2023Pinot noirAustralia506$26.00 As low as $23.40 -
Collector Shoreline Rose 2023An enticing pale copper-pink blush with a flutter of florals and warm spices.

Voyager Estate Chenin Blanc 2024Fruit for the Chenin Blanc comes from three organically farmed estate blocks on the Voyager Estate property. Voyager has some of the oldest Chenin Blanc in the Margaret River region, with some of the vines planted as far back as 1978. The vineyard soils are mostly gravelly loams with stony clay subsoils, providing excellent drainage and good moisture-holding capacity. The resulting fruit has exceptional balance.
One of the better chenin blancs from Voyager Estate to date as it has flavour and richness but stays neatly in the dry spectrum. Poached pears and quince, lemon balm and lime curd with an intriguing waft of lanolin and the tug of phenolics add to the palate's shape. There's refreshment throughout but also depth. Lovely.

Domaine Naturaliste Discovery Chardonnay 2023Before I tell you that Bruce Dukes' career has spanned over 3 decades and that he's had years of experience both locally and abroad, it's likely a good idea to start at the finish: Bruce Dukes is wholly talented, and while he makes high-quality acclaimed wines for his own estate - Domaine Naturaliste - he also does this for a raft of other, smaller producers in Margaret River and Geographe. His winemaking style is one of fresh, pure fruit over obvious or intrusive winemaking artifact, and the wines routinely possess a polish and eminent drinkability. ERIN LARKIN
Aromas of crushed stones, lemon peel, sliced pink grapefruit and subtle ground spice. Medium-bodied with a lot of pleasant white tea character. Jasmine and leafy herbs come through. Drink now. JAMES SUCKLING
Tasting with Bruce is a pretty remarkable experience. The guy knows his business and he knows he is getting things done, better than most. He is a crazy character though. You have to strap in and get ready for the ride. He runs from jovial and humorous through to intense and stern. Kind of like his wines. Some of them are driven, intense and focused things, some are a little more uplifting and joyous. This one definitely sits somewhere in the middle and we love it!2023chardonnayAustralia432$28.00 As low as $25.20 -

Leeuwin Art Series Riesling 2023I have a soft spot for this wine – it’s from a region not renown for riesling; I love the green bottle and the John Olsen painting adorning it. It’s also a lovely drink. Fragrant with lemon blossom and jasmine and lightly flavoured with limes and lemons, green apple and fresh herbs. Not at all fruity, it’s dry with mouth-watering acidity, and there’s a cooling stoniness too. JANE FAULKNER, James Halliday
Lemongrass, lime leaf, lime and green apple, spearmint, with a saline bath salts perfume. It’s dry and crunchy, acidity is there too, though it’s kind of juicy, and the spicy and exotic mouth-perfume is really pleasing. It has a lime and green apple, and chalky texture on a finish of good length. A little petrol/mineral thing in the mix too. It’s a different expression of Riesling, for sure, but I really like it.

Santadi Vermentino Villa Solais 2023Cantina Santadi, from Sardinia’s southwestern coastal region known as Sulcis, was founded in 1960 as a cooperative of local growers. Under the guidance of Antonello Pilloni, Santadi has become one of Sardinia’s, and Italy’s, finest wineries, with more than 200 growers farming 600 hectares.
The Sulcis peninsula is, geographically, Sardinia’s most ancient area, rich in archaeological sites, and offers an astonishing palette of variations and contrasts, with coastal sand dunes, gentle hills and inlets, narrow strips of flatland and inland mountains, rugged cliffs overhanging the seas interspersed with silky-smooth white beaches, pine trees, junipers and vineyards. In these sandy soils, pre-phylloxera vines continue to survive and thrive.
Made with 10% Nuragus, another local variety, this spends a few months maturation on lees, in stainless steel, to give the wine an extra dimension of flavour and texture. Citrus notes and hints of tropical fruit, the palate is minerally and refreshing.

Stephane Aviron Beaujolais Village 2023
Stephane's family has been wheeling and dealing in Beaujolais for generations. Based in Fleurie, his father owned an oenological laboratory and worked as a wine broker where, after completing his studies, Stephane returned to work in the family business as a wine consultant and a winemaker in Chénas. His experience there and history in the region brings a depth of knowledge and intimate detail of the terroirs he now works. That, when combined with Stephane's obvious talent makes for a formidable combination.
Black cherry and bright raspberry with a hit of heady, whole peppercorn spice, touch of cola and lovely burst of five spice that drives the inviting nose home. Super crunchy, raspberry fruit layered in with fine slippery tannins. Bursting with red fruit flavour, bright and bouncy. It's fine and tight with a lovely core of fruit that feels light and airy and at once concentrated and precise in its delivery. A fine Villages.

One Eighty Wines Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2023
So, Charles one of the guns behind One Eighty Wines started working for Prince Wine Store the middle part of 2024 and quickly became an invaluable team member. Imagine our surprise when he bought in a selection of wines made from his home turf in the beautiful surrounds of Adelaide.
These are deftly crafted wines that speak gently of place with an easy going attitude that belies their subtle complexity. They are crafted beautifully allowing wine making elements to blend seamlessly with pure fruits and wonderful balance. These really over-deliver in every way.
The 2023 Chardonnay, sourced from the Adelaide Hills region, is aged in 50% new oak for 9 months, then bottle aged for a similar length, this wine boasts bold butterscotch flavours, with notes of green apple to give the wine great balance. It's a lovely combo of old-school richness and modern freshness. That's not easy to pull off but they have done it here without losing any of the positives either style. Well done!2023chardonnayAustralia340$28.00 As low as $25.20 -

Lots of spice and dried herb note, garrigue-almost thing going on, medium body, liquorice, strawberry and red apple peel lift, a hint of blue fruit and rose with a sappy, chalky, juicy texture. Very pretty and highly drinkable. Go and make friends. KASIA SOBIESIAK, the wine front

KT Watervale "5452" Riesling 2023What a delight from hello. It's a frisky, fruit-driven style, lots of character, lots of pleasure. More bandwidth than typical 'regional style riesling' with a thickset juiciness, some chalky pucker, depth to tropical fruits, citrus, green herbs. Nice course of briny minerality too. It turns the volume up a little on Clare riesling, and owns it in that way. It's delicious and full of character, is the message. Thank you.

Arfion Pinot Grigio 2023Originally from New Zealand, Dave Mackintosh established Arfion with his father Brian and brother Jimmy in 2011. Dave has been obsessed with making wine since '98 and likes to delve deep on a broad spectrum of styles. Sourcing grapes from highly skilled, sustainable growers from across the Yarra, they ensure site and variety are in harmony throughout the season with low impact winemaking at their heart. They do abide by one rule. All wines must deliver good times.
And yes. We know. We already included an ArFion wine on the December Value Picks but Dave-Bro is making wine that is too good to pass-up. Get em while they are hot we say.2023Pinot GrigioAustralia506$29.00 As low as $26.10 -
Hoddles Creek Estate Pinot Noir 2023Lovely amount of perfume this year, in with red cherry and other red fruits, some cinnamon, almond, vanilla, and assorted spice from oak, subtle earthiness with a little dried herb too. It's medium-bodied, kind of light, but gee, there's no shortage of depth and concentration either. It has bright acidity, fine tannin grip, and a lively finish of excellent length. It took me one smell, and one sip, to know that I really like this vintage. A little more fine-boned. Classic styling, if you will. GARY WALSH2023Pinot noirAustralia506$30.00 As low as $27.00
