John Lehmann Australian Chardonnay Dozen

Save $213 (41%) on a glittering quartet revealing the evolution of Aussie Chardonnay for quality and value – epitomised by freshness, fruit and crisp acidity. Confidence might just be the quality at the heart of it all. The result is a growing sense that those from Australia are among the best value Chardonnays in the world – competing with Burgundy on quality but without the price tag associated with the best of the French.

The Trophy-winning and eleven-time Gold-winning Taylors Jaraman was one of the two Chardonnays in the top 10 at the upmarket Chardonnay du Monde festival held in Burgundy itself, judged blind by some of the world’s leading critics.

Joining it in this collection is the rich, silky 2025 Plantagenet York Great Southern Chardonnay, a wine of "beautiful intensity and completeness… and exceptional value for the price. 94pts" (Ray Jordan).

Leogate Malabar Reserve Hunter Valley 2023 has "excellent energy and freshness" (Halliday) and scores of 93pts and 92pts, and 96pt Howard Vineyards Amos, a single site beauty (RRP $60) boasts "succulent fruit intensity with seductive complexity." (Wine Orbit) and impeccable balance.

An elegant collection of quality and value at $24.99 a bottle.
