Hunter Valley is one of the oldest regions in Australia, and this producer is one of the most important producers in that long history. Fast forward more than a hundred years and they are still at it - making great wines. This chardonnay is what I’d call a weeknight staple - not too fine and not too rich - sitting deliciously in the middle with a fruit profile of melon and peach and a touch of buttery oak. Whatever night of the week and whatever is on the table - from roast chicken to takeaway falafel - this wine will compliment it well.

What is a Black Market deal?

Black Market deals are only made possible if we don’t reveal the maker’s brand on site. The wines are the genuine article – absolutely no cleanskins or fake brands, just dangerously good value. You won’t find out what it is until it hits your doorstep, but you won’t regret it. Just keep it on the down low.
