Most of the focus of attention on top quality Australian wine is lavished on her red wines but some of her white wines are well worthy of attention too. I'm thinking particularly of
Clare and Eden Valley Riesling – naturally Hunter Semillon Brokenwood and Margan are doing a particularly good job today – although those old, bottle-matured Lindemans are what set my heart racing originally Verdelho Houghtons were doing a great job in Western Australia but who knows what is happening after the departure of winemaker Larry Cherubino?
And then we must not forget the little matter of Australian Chardonnay...
