Some favourite new releases from old Australian vines

For stockists in countries other than Britain, try WineSearcher, though it might be safest to specify one vintage earlier as these are all very recent releases.

WHITES

Margan Verdelho 2001/2 Hunter Valley

Truly delicious, big, mouthfilling, citrus-flavoured white.

£8.95 Tanners of Shrewsbury, Wines of Interest in Ipswich

Bremerton Verdelho 2001/2002 Langhorne Creek

Verdelho was first planted here in 1850 to make wines in the image of madeira. The 2002 is splendidly bumptious.

£8.50 Vin du Van of Appledore, £8.95 La Réserve around London

Tim Adams Riesling 2002 Clare Valley

Great vintage for Clare Riesling. Look for Grosset, Horrocks, Leasingham...
