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 $27.50 a bottle.
From the prime Chardonnay-producing region of Margaret River, the UMAMU Estate Chardonnay 2011 (RRP $41) 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.
Equally impressive is the Joseph River Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 from Margaret River (RRP $55). In great condition with plenty of primary dark fruit remaining, bay leaf and cedar complexity, amazingly fresh tannins, vibrant acidity and touches of tapenade and crushed herbs on the powerful finish, it’s a great choice with a rich and earthy mushroom and red wine pot pie.
Celebration has a new destination with these well-travelled, exceptionally aged red legends. Make them yours today and save $130.
