Yalumba Viognier 2013, Eden Valley, South Australia, Australia: Deep, resonant Viognier for those not afraid of flavour. Dare you! Beautiful and exotic with white floral notes in this vibrant white wine. It's smooth yet characterful in the mouth. Some apricot-peach on the finish. This vibrant Australian white wine is made from 100% indigenous yeasts. Kudos to winemaker Louisa Rose. Try this style and compare it to those from the Rhone region of Condrieu. Perfect for mild curries and spicy dishes, or fresh seafood. Drink: 2014-2018. 233220 13.50% XD 750 mL $25.20 Score: 93/100. May 16, 2015

Seresin Sauvignon Blanc 2013, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand: Grassy-great and herbal with crisp, ultra dry refreshment. Limes and lemons dance in delight across your palate.

Sterling Vineyards Chardonnay 2012, Napa Valley, California, United States: Big, bold, buttery Californian Chardonnay in all its glory. Layered and rich and offering so much pleasure. Aromas and flavours of tropical fruit and freshly baked bread. Try this with roast chicken. Unapologetically big and blustery Chard serving up plenty of ripe melon, poached pear, white peach, sandalwood and touches of coconut and vanilla. It's robust and generous in the mouth with a creamy texture. (VINTAGES panel, June 2014) Drink: 2013-2018. 330233 13.50% XD 750 mL $22.95 Score: 91/100. April 15, 2015
