	2024 Chalmers Vermentino Zero	$31.00		Add to basket
	2023 Mother Block White	$24.00		Add to basket	A blend of vermentino (the lion's share), fiano, verdicchio, grechetto and arneis. This is a tasty white wine with a high refreshment factor. It's all citrus and nectarine with nuances of brine and tonic-like herbs. Acidity is darting, and, as a result, it needs to be served with food. 90 points. Campbell Mattinson, Wine Companion Aug 2024
	2023 Mother Block Skin Contact	$24.00		Add to basket	There's plenty of grip to this wine, as you'd expect. It almost feels chewy. It tastes saline and floral, its core ripped with woodsmoke, Campari and nuts. Reductive characters through the finish add yet more smokiness, and a rust-like note. Interest, it has plenty. 90 points. Campbell Mattinson, Wine Companion Aug 2024
	2023 Mother Block Red	$24.00		Add to basket
	2023 Chalmers Vermentino	$31.00		Add to basket	This is a vermentino that you should buy and drink. It tastes of citrus and crushed grapefruit, but it's the balance of it, and the mouthfeel of it, and the way the ripeness of the fruit works in so beautifully with the round-edged bitterness of it, that makes it such a source of pleasure. 93 points. Campbell Mattinson, Wine Companion Aug 2024
	2023 Chalmers Pecorino	$33.00		Add to basket	Slate, pear, blackcurrant bud and apple flavours talk a pretty good game here. It's as juicy as it is dry, and as free-flowing as it is honed. Sinewy isn't a word we often use for white wines, but it applies here. 91 points. Campbell Mattinson, Wine Companion March 2024
	2023 Chalmers Falanghina	$34.00		Add to basket	Sour-edged lemon flavours with some garden herbs and lavender, maybe a little bit of fennel in the mix here too. Stony texture is stony and flinty, preserved lemon in the mix, crisp and dry on a finish of good length. I like this. Very much you ‘classic Italian dry white’. 92 points. Gary Walsh, The Winefront March 2024
	2023 Chalmers Dott. Prosecco	$27.00		Add to basket	The 2023 Dott. Prosecco is a refreshingly crisp and sezty sparkling wine with fragrant apple blossom, kaffir lime, Nashi pear and a chalky personality. Pale in the glass with a delicate fizz, this wine is drier than most with a lovely gentle texture and moreish finish. - Chalmers
	2022 Mother Block White	$24.00		Add to basket
	2022 Mother Block Skin Contact	$24.00		Add to basket
	2022 Chalmers Rosato	$28.00		Add to basket	Aglianico 63%, Nero d’Avola 20% and Sagrantino 17%. Chalmers describe this as being ‘imminently’ drinkable on their website, and with that, I thought I had better try it very soon. Red cherry, blood orange. Juicy, some powdery texture, maybe a little sweetness with a twist of Campari through red fruits, a bit of crunch to acidity and a finish of solid length, pleasing twist of bitterness to close. Nice drink. Definite Italianate character to it. - 91 points. Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, May 2023
	2022 Chalmers Nero d'Avola	$30.00		Add to basket
	2022 Chalmers Fiano	$40.00		Add to basket
	2022 Chalmers Dott. Pavana	$33.00		Add to basket	There's a steely, rusty quality to the aroma but the palate is alive with fresh, open-weave berry flavours, red cherry more than black, almost loganberry in its combination of earthiness and fruitiness. It's both light and complex in a free-flowing way, and the gentle dusty/chalkiness of the finish helps it all to linger. 90 points. Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion Jul 2023
	2022 Chalmers Dott. Nebbiolo	$40.00		Add to basket	The 2022 Dott. Nebbiolo is pale rose in colour with a little brick tinge. Its nose with lifted rose petals, wild strawberries, Damson plum, charry earth and a muscular perfume. The palate is classic young Nebbiolo, a core of red berries and lifted red florals with dry fine dusty tannins and pleasantly persistent. - Chalmers
	2022 Chalmers Dott Malvasia Istriana	$33.00		Add to basket	This is a grippy white wine with floral and stone fruit characters aplenty, matched to cooked apple, guava and brine. It's ultra-textural, and dry with it. Length isn't a strong suit here, but that didn't stop me from wanting to hook into it with gusto, thanks to the combination of mouth-watering acidity, lively flavour and all that grip. - 90 points. Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion.
	2022 Chalmers Bush Vine Inzolia	$54.00		Add to basket
	2022 Chalmers Aglianico Col Fondo	$36.00		Add to basket	Delicious strawberry and cream flavours quickly turn savoury and dry. This is simultaneously fresh, fizzy, racy and well flavoured. There's a fair amount of spicy, wheat funk to the aroma and plenty of clean but flamboyant flavour to the palate. Serious fun; fun serious. 93 points. Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion May 2023
	2021 Chalmers The Spirit 500ml	$141.00		Add to basket	A digestive style and crystal clear in the glass, ‘The Spirit’ is a pure, driven expression of Moscato Giallo, lifted and aromatic with chamomile flowers, pearl barley, caraway seed, loquat and grape skin notes. It’s got some fire paired with a generous mid palate to help tame the alcohol.  The Spirit will sit comfortably on the dinner table at the completion of a meal, where it’s deliciously drinkable straight up, or as the hero in an aperitif style cocktail, depending on what takes your fancy. - Chalmers
	2021 Chalmers Piedirosso	$34.00		Add to basket
	2021 Chalmers Moscato Giallo Appassimento 375ml	$54.00		Add to basket	This labour of love resulted in a wine that is luscious and exotic, with yellow box honey-soaked dried Muscatels, treacle, bacon maple, super lifted aromatics of orange blossom, perfumed wattle and coriander seed.  The mouth is opulent, with baked figs, burnt English toffee, caramelised onion, short crust pastry, shitake mushroom and umami.  It’s a food pairing delight, perfect with those baked desserts, pear tarte tatin, spit roasted pineapple and a mouldy cheese match made in heaven. The finish is uber long and unrelentless, balance nicely with a weft of bright tangy citrus.  This will age very well, the longer you keep it, the more savoury it will become, masking the sugar into more of those umami, bacon and mushroom notes.
	2021 Chalmers Greco	$33.00		Add to basket	Don’t let the name deceive you. Greco is a variety of Southern Italian origins, not Greek. Now in the capable hands of the First Family of Australia’s alternative variety community, who? The Chalmers? and thriving in their Heathcote vineyard, this is a wine capable of delivering both full throttle flavour and crucial freshening acidity in abundance. It’s like fiano on steroids, and it’s clearly here to stay. 92 points. Nick Ryan, The Weekend Australian Top 100 Wines 2024
	2021 Chalmers Dott Ribolla Gialla	$33.00		Add to basket	Now in 750ml bottle. Mouth-watering and textural at once. This is quite lovely. Rosewater through lime and assorted florals. The aftertaste is awash with florals and creamed honey in the most delicious of ways. Dry but giving. Yes please. - 91 points. Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
	2021 Chalmers Bush Vine Negroamaro	$54.00		Add to basket	It begins in a light, juicy, mouth-watering way but it builds as it slides through the palate, finishing with a delicious burst of crushed roses and blueberry-like flavour. This is a mightily enjoyable red wine. Red cherries, orange oil notes, sweet spice and Ribena characters carry the day for the most part, not too heavy, not too light. 92 points. Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion August 2023
	2020 Chalmers Dott Ribolla Gialla	$29.00 Original price was: $29.00.$25.00Current price is: $25.00.		Add to basket	The Dott. series of alternative grapes brought into Australia by Chalmers is dedicated to the late Dr. Rod. Bonfiglioli, who encouraged the family in their pursuit of the new and unusual to this country. The grape grows in Friuli, Italy and Slovenia. Light straw hue. Delicate aromas of snow pea, apple, citrus and jasmine. It stretches out on the palate, extending its flavour reach to include muscat, nougat and dried pear, brought into line nicely by firm acidity. Makes a striking impression. 500ml. 92 points. Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion 2022
	2019 Chalmers Lambrusco	$43.00		Add to basket
	2019 Chalmers Felicitas Sparkling Fiano	$53.00		Add to basket
	2019 Chalmers Aglianico	$43.00		Add to basket	"Destemmed, wild fermented, left 30 days on skins, pressed to chestnut botte. The classic southern Italian red grape is incredibly well suited to the climate and soils of Heathcote. Each vintage re-affirms that. A complex, fleshy expression of the grape is wrapped in black cherry, white pepper, allspice, dark chocolate, licorice and a gentle savouriness. A lovely depth of flavour with hints of almond nuttiness is just developing on the palate. It's going to age into a beauty." - 95 points. Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion
	2017 Chalmers Lambrusco Appassimento 375ml	$48.00		Add to basket	The aroma and flavour of pure, rich prune and crushed, woodsy spices. It's soft, mouthfilling, well-balanced and exceptionally easy to drink. It's a curio, but a good one. The word 'pure' should be emphasised. 375ml. 93 points. Campbell Mattinson, 2020 Halliday Wine Companion
	2013 Chalmers Aglianico	$48.00		Add to basket	Deep crimson. Very pure, fresh raspberry and cherry, vibrant and succulent, and a little sleeker than the Italian pedant but with a vibrant finish. Really sleek and fine and linear. 17+ / 20, Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com 2015
