Celebrate International Chardonnay Day – May 21.

An annual celebration of the world’s most popular and versatile white wine grape. Whether you love Chardonnay crisp and unoaked or rich, creamy and oak-aged, it’s the perfect excuse to explore the many expressions of this remarkable variety.

Side by side, three of ours:

Shy Susan Blanc de Blancs – 95 points from Campbell Mattinson
Refined with lifted aromas of bright citrus, lemon zest and delicate white flowers. Classic toasty characters balanced by savoury nuance and a crisp, elegant finish. This is the last sparkling wine sourced from Tasmania - and what a wine it is!

Billy Button “The Classic” Chardonnay – 92 points, Halliday Wine Companion
Complex and stylish with florals, fresh white peach and delicate nuttiness. White stone fruit carries through a cool-climate palate with line, focus and a creamy texture.

Shy Susan Chardonnay – 95+ points from Campbell Mattinson | 94 points, Halliday Wine Companion
Nougat, grilled hazelnut and yellow stone fruit with a savoury mealy character. An intensely flavoured, layered palate balanced by fine acidity and attractive phenolics.

However you like your Chardonnay… there’s a glass waiting. 🍾🍷

Which one are you opening?

Six months on from the 2025 North East Victorian Wine Challenge [Part 2]...

Best Alternative Red Wine: Billy Button Wines 2024 ‘The Rustic’ Sangiovese | Sponsored by

Billy Button’s ‘The Rustic’ Sangiovese captured attention for its drinkability and authenticity — bright fruit, fine tannins and a style that feels entirely at ease in the Alpine Valleys. Half a year on, it remains one of the region’s most approachable and quietly compelling alternative reds - get it while there is a little bit of stock left!

Alpine Valleys Vignerons continue to champion one of Australia’s most geographically diverse wine regions, promoting producers working across elevations, climates and varietals rarely found elsewhere.

Thanks North East Victorian Wine Challenge and Alpine Valleys Vignerons!

Best Red Table Wine: King River Estate Flying Duck 2024 Shiraz | Sponsored by

Few wines gathered as much momentum post-show as the Flying Duck Shiraz. Rich without excess and structured without heaviness, it captured a modern regional style that resonated strongly with both judges and consumers. Visit their cellar door, in the heart of the King Valley, to try their full range.

Neumaker continues to support wineries with innovative equipment and winery solutions, playing an important behind-the-scenes role in helping regional producers operate efficiently and sustainably.

Best Sweet or Fortified Wine: Pfeiffer Wines NV Rare Rutherglen Topaque | Sponsored by Enartis

Six months later, the Pfeiffer Rare Topaque remains a reminder that Rutherglen fortifieds occupy a category almost entirely their own. Complex, layered and deeply Australian, the wine carried generations of regional knowledge in every glass. As Jen would say "drink more fortified wines" - so we should all make sure to have a bottle of this for the cooler nights ahead.

Enartis works globally with wineries through technical winemaking support and innovation, assisting producers in crafting wines that balance tradition with modern precision.
