White wines with high acidity and crisp flavours are ideal for Summer – think dry fruity Pinot Grigio, soft buttery Chardonnay and everyone’s fave Sauvignon Blanc.
Here are four to put on the drinking list for your next Summer soirée:
Named after the hometown where owners Wayne and Myriam Keoghan first met, Anvers Wines on Razorback Road in Kangarilla offers some of the finest wines in the McLaren Vale region. Established in 1998 and with an emphasis on low-yield production, the winery showcases a range of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier varieties across 16 luscious hectares.
The 2024 Razorback Road Sauvignon Blanc has fresh fruit flavours and vibrant acidity, along with characters of passionfruit and fresh herbal aromas. On the palate it is crisp with bright varietal flavours and a persistent, refreshing finish; pair this wine with lightly tangy, creamy cheese, shellfish, fish and creamy pasta dishes.
Nestled in the heart of King Valley in north-east Victoria, La Cantina on Honeys Lane is the home of the Corsini family vineyard and winery. Built from Glenrowan granite in traditional Tuscan style, the winery and cellar door offer a unique tasting experience of cool climate wines, made following family traditions of no added preservatives, retaining the full characteristics of each drop and vegan-friendly.
The King Valley’s cool climate is ideal for growing Pinot Grigio, allowing the fruit to retain its natural acidity right up until harvest. This produces a crisp, well-balanced wine, ideally paired with seafood or simply enjoyed by itself.
Lychee Hill Estate on Bruce Highway in Tinana South stands out as the sole winery on the Fraser Coast that produces award-winning lychee liqueurs, wines and ciders. With an increasing number of customers seeking exceptional customer service and quality products, it has become a must-visit Maryborough destination for domestic and international tourists alike.
This family-run business has been operating for more than 25 years and has now expanded to include three generations working together on the farm. The satellite cellar door serves as the engine room of the business where you can drop in to taste test Crisp White wine with a crisp palate entwined in a tropical twist to complement any dish.
Home to Australia’s favourite wines for more than 130 years, Brown Brothers Winery on Milawa Bobinawarrah Road in Milawa adopts a philosophy of being experimental, innovative and dedicated to making wines for all kinds of taste buds. Whether you are visiting the winery for a tasting or stocking up on all your favourites from the online store, each range has been created to celebrate the joy of wine in all forms.
The Origin Series Chardonnay takes inspiration from elegant high couture and cosmopolitan cityscapes – this stylish white wine is crisp and refreshing with flavours of vibrant stone fruit, balanced oak and a long, satisfying finish. Pair this with pan-fried chicken breast wrapped in prosciutto, or a mild soft rind cheese such as brie or camembert.
