	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
	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.
	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
	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
