Australian & New Zealand

2004 Bimbadgen Estate Myall Road Botrytis Semillon (375ml)    2005 Decanter World Wine Awards, BEST DESSERT WINE UNDER £10; Tyson Stelzer - 94 points    $32.95 per bottle

2008 Frogmore Creek Iced Riesling  (375ml)     DUAL TROPHY WINNER; "Has classic lime juice, on a potent and long palate, with very good balancing acidity" - James Halliday, 94 points; "Delivers its kicks the moment it arrives in the mouth, zinging with minerals and lemon juice acidity with sweet treats scooped on top... Worth every cent" - Tony Love *****   $32.50 per bottle

2005 John Forrest Collection Noble Riesling  (375ml)    Huon Hooke - 95 points; "Very intense sweet wine with honey, vanilla, citrus and mineral flavours. It treads a fine and successful line between botrytis influence and varietal character - both are very evident" - Bob Campbell MW, 95 points; "The delicious flavours almost overlapping with the lightest of the sauternes, but more luscious" - Geoff Kelly, 18½ + points out of 20; "Absolute peach from Marlborough... Richly sweet, but with fresh, fine riesling acidity and complex whiffs of petrol and marmalade, it's wonderful on its own or with tarte tatin. Definitely a wine worth waiting for" - Jonathan Ray's top 10 Kiwi wines, UK Telegraph $39.95 per bottle

2009 Josef Chromy Botrytis Riesling  (375ml)       Stunning value, oodles of botrytis, beautifully balanced; "Classic botrytis riesling, leaving the varietal character totally intact with pure lime juice flavours; great sweetness/acid balance and length" - James Halliday, 95 points; "Sweet rieslings are the undiscovered gems of the apple isle. Not any more... fresher and more tangy than most botrytis styles, full of crunchy apple and zesty citrus fruit, perfect with fruit-based desserts" - Tyson Stelzer, 94 points   $36.95 per bottle
