$40, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, Eden Valley

There’s an argument to say that chardonnay should always be generous and should always be talkative. By that I mean that it should offer plenty of fruit flavour, and that this flavour should be served fresh and ready to be consumed. This wine is exactly that: it tastes of pear, citrus, nectarine and almonds, and while it’s generally low in oak there are smidgens of vanilla, roasted nut and cream-like characters to be enjoyed. It would be fun at a dinner party; it has plenty to say. 92 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
