Every wine from Westend Estate is a winner – a superb balance of intense fruit, character and freshness and, as James Halliday notes, owner Bill Calabria is “understandably proud of his achievements”. It’s no surprise his No.1 Chardonnay has long been a hit with our customers. Bill was a champion boxer in his youth, but in his 20s it became apparent his real talent lay in winemaking, triumphantly proved when he was awarded the Order of Australia for his contribution to the industry. Bill crafts affordable, high quality wines by sourcing the best quality grapes from the region and fermenting them in small parcels, overseeing each stage of production himself. Rounded and elegant, his No.1 Chardonnay is delicious with sauced fish and chicken.
