2007 Charles de Cazanove Tradition, Reims, $61

Gorgeous, mature Champagne; layers of nutty, creamy flavour. Great value at $61, but Vintage Cellars have also had it on special for $55 each if you buy six. vintagecellars.com.au

2016 Michael Hall Sauvignon Blanc, Adelaide Hills, $35 Another great wine from this consistently good producer: subtle barrelferment flavours and some time in bottle bring finesse and texture to sauvignon’s fresh floral fruitiness. michaelhallwines.com
