Thomas Wines Braemore Semillon

Hunter Valley, $32

Lemon curd, kaffir lime and blood orange fills out and becomes all buttered toast and honeysuckle with a unique vanilla note. Cellar up to 15 years.

McHenry Hohnen Calgardup Brook Vineyard Chardonnay

Margaret River, $39

Margaret River chardonnay offers world-beating value right now. With crushed nuts and saline notes on the nose, lemon meringue and nectarines fill the palate. Cellar five to seven years. Home Hill Estate

Pinot Noir

Tasmania, $40

Everyone needs pinot in the cellar because as your palate changes, you reach for something softer. This wine is truly special; a blackberry, savoury example of southern Tassie pinot that always bats way above its price. Cellar five to seven years.

Wild Duck Creek

Yellow Hammer Hill

Heathcote, $32

This shiraz blend keeps on giving. I love it with three to four years on it. Succulent and juicy, it delivers cola and chocolate notes, and gives you something to drink while everything else is maturing. Cellar seven-plus years. Telmo Rodríguez Castilla y León Pegaso Barrancos de Pizarra Old Vine Garnacha

Spain, $55 Grenache is underrated for the cellar. This wine starts as a brute, but evolves into a beautiful mix of meatiness and black cherries. Cellar eight to 12 years.
