Bridget Raffal’s pick:
2023 Patrick Underwood Dash Farms Leanganook Chardonnay ($54)
“Australian chardonnay is top-tier, and this is such a perfect expression of it. It’s a real Goldilocks wine – not mean and lean, not big and showy, just beautifully balanced, with delicious fruit and more-ish acidity. Gone in an instant.”
Adrian Filiuta’s pick:
2024 Domaine de la Fessardière Muscadet La Mer ($45)
“Dry, zesty, fresh and mineral. Super versatile, either as an aperitif, especially in spring, or paired with a wide range of foods, particularly oysters, seafood and lighter fish dishes. It’s also a great alternative for chablis lovers – much nicer price tag.”
Loïc Avril’s pick:
2023 Vasse Felix Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon ($56)
“Cassis berries, fruit-forward and approachable, hints of bay leaf and fresh oak spices, round tannins, lifted and well-structured. A fine wine delivering freshness and a beautiful finish.”
