“Summer is just around the corner and this selection will be the perfect accompaniment to balmy summer dinners and weekend picnics.

“This month we have two Chardonnays for you to sample. The first from Henley Hill is a traditional oaked style and the second from Tomich Hill is an unoaked,

cool-climate wine. It is interesting to taste the difference between the styles. The unoaked wine also makes a nice change from Sauvignon Blanc as it is fresh and

fruit-driven. Haselgrove in McLaren Vale is a Member favourite and this Viognier is full, rich and ideal with white meat. Orange is building a reputation for elegant whites and Penmara’s Riesling fits the bill. It will benefit from some time in the bottle. There is a traditional Hunter Semillon from one of the regions original

pioneers, Drayton’s. The selection rounds off with a tropical fruit Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc ready for immediate consumption.

“Be sure to re-order your favourites before they sell out.”

The Draytons are one of the Hunter Valley's pioneering winemaking families and it is one of the few companies that is still family owned and operated. This Semillon is made in the traditional Hunter style.

Region: Hunter Valley, New South WalesColour: In its youth it is straw with a slight green tinge. With 5-7 years bottle age it will

develop into a yellow/golden colour.Bouquet: Enticing lime citrus aromas in its youth. After some years rich toasty aromas develop. Palate: Initially an abundance of tropical flavour balanced by a lengthy acidic finish. As it

ages the palate weight will become full and thick. The overall complexity of the wine is distinguished by the layered rich and toasty aromas being balanced by the generous smoky flavours.

Cellar: Drink now and up to 2017 Food match: Char-grilled pork fillets served with spiced applesFrom our Wine Buyer:

This Semillon will be a delicious drink while young but if you have the patience it will also benefit with some cellaring.
