Many of you will remember Sam Trimboli from his days at Warburn Estate where, every vintage, he’d pick up literally hundreds of awards. He’s still on a winning streak, but here he’s joined up with the highly rated Westend Estate in Riverina, New South Wales. Sam makes there the mighty Black Duck, and this white version is equally fruity and definitely equally irresistible. Bill Calabria and Sam chose together the vineyard for the best Chardonnay grapes, picking them in the early morning, cool fermenting and adding a touch of citrusy Pinot Grigio. This is the sort of wine you should never be short of, with a constant supply chilled in the fridge. Exuberant and youthful with bright melon fruit – serve solo or with a spicy noodle chicken dish.
For the 2015 vintage
