Australian White Wine

Once known for portly Chardonnay, a collection of small, impassioned producers, the likes of Jeffrey Grosset have changed the face of Australian white wine production. Domaine Moss Wood sets the bar for Australian Chardonnay, revered for its age ability and finesse. Riesling is gaining popularity; the Clare Valley and Eden Valley in South Australia are proving that their unique terroir is ideally suited to this grape variety. Others are triumphing with Rhone varietals, as well as Bordeaux inspired Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon blends.

You have only so many bottles in your life, never drink a bad one.
