Only a delectably-aged wine from one of Australia’s finest estates will do when celebrating those truly special occasions, making this selection of aged whites hard to beat for those who know the value of a smartly-stocked cellar – especially at $25 a bottle (RRP $26 - $41 each).
The Briar Ridge Karl Stockhausen Signature Semillon 2011 in particular is a gift to the world from the Hunter Valley. Ripe, plush and juicy with a good line of citrus acidity, it’s soft yet vibrant with a chalky finish that is at its best now – especially with kingfish with capers and preserved lemon.
From the prime Chardonnay-producing region of Margaret River, the UMAMU Estate Chardonnay 2011 is a still-youthful drop that is drinking beautifully at the moment. Showing terrific poise and balance throughout with the beautiful aromas carrying precisely from the nose to the palate, driven by beautiful lime-like acidity and perfectly-judged quality oak, this is a wine to talk about, and just magical with char-grilled chermoula prawns.
Celebration has a new destination with these well-travelled, exceptionally aged red legends. Make them yours today and save $45.
