Chardonnay
Chardonnay usually makes medium- to full-bodied white wine, often with apple, citrus and sometimes melon or peach, and it can be crisp or smooth depending on how it’s made. It’s a good all-round choice if you like white wine with chicken, fish, creamy dishes or easy drinking on its own.
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir usually makes light to medium-bodied red wines with red cherry, strawberry and sometimes a bit of earthiness. It is often fresh, smooth and easy to drink, and works well with chicken, salmon, mushrooms or lighter meals.
House of Arras
Top-end Tasmanian sparkling from House of Arras, made in the traditional method with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Dry, fine and serious, with enough depth for oysters, seafood or a proper celebration.
Tasmania
Tasmania usually makes cool-climate wines that are fresh, dry and fairly light, with sparkling wine being especially common. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the main grapes to know, and they suit people who like clean, easy-drinking wines with seafood, chicken or lighter meals.
Australia
Australia makes a wide range of wines, but it is best known for ripe, fruity Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, often with plenty of flavour and body. It is a good choice if you like smooth, bold wines that work well with grilled meat, barbecues or easy drinking on their own.
