This is juicy, bright and full of fresh red and dark fruit, with a little spice and savoury earthiness underneath, but none of the heaviness you might expect. It's made for easy drinking, works brilliantly with a slight chill and seriously overdelivers, which is exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Fire up the barbecue. Sausages, burgers, lamb chops or anything with a bit of char will be spot on, and it'll be equally happy alongside a pizza. Drink now or later? Definitely now. This is all about juicy fruit, freshness and easy drinking rather than waiting years for it to come around. If the weather's warm, give it 20–30 minutes in the fridge before you crack it. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2022-the-pawn-sangiovese monthly 0.5 2026-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/0ce3db9e-5fde-476a-9555-e6e7c80dfa35/The+Pawn+Sangiovese.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2022 The Pawn Sangiovese - A couple of years in the bottle has done this Sangiovese some serious favours. There's plenty of cherry and red fruit, but it's the savoury, earthy side and touch of spice that make it really interesting, with the firm tannins it had when it was younger now softened right out. It's drinking beautifully, has plenty of character and absolutely comes alive with food, which is exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Sangiovese and Italian food is a pretty hard combination to beat. Pizza, tomato-based pasta, lasagne or anything involving slow-cooked meat will be brilliant. Get some parmesan involved and you're laughing. Drink now or later? Now is a cracking time to get into it. Those youthful tannins have settled down and everything is coming together beautifully, but there's enough going on that another 2–4 years shouldn't worry it either. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2025-the-other-wine-co-grenache monthly 0.5 2026-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/8db19c18-c847-4709-b143-94ebc80e0802/The+Other+Wine+Co.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2025 The Other Wine Co. Grenache - This is Grenache that's all about juicy fruit and pure enjoyment. There's loads of ripe cherry and raspberry, a little spice and a savoury edge that keeps everything fresh, making it generous without ever becoming too big or heavy. It's the kind of red you can put on the table and watch everyone get around, and that easy-going drinkability is exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? This one's pretty hard to upset. Pizza, barbecue, lamb, burgers, charcuterie or anything with a bit of spice will work beautifully. It's also more than capable of disappearing on its own while you're waiting for dinner. Drink now or later? Now is where the fun is. You can comfortably hang onto it for up to three years, but all that juicy fruit and freshness is ready to go, so we wouldn't be waiting for a special occasion. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2025-dhillon-accidental-red monthly 0.5 2026-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/61b32873-0d0c-4e40-9eb0-41b889e23652/Dhillon.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2025 Dhillon Accidental Red - Some of the best things happen by accident, and this wine quite literally did. What started as a happy winemaking mishap is now deliberately made into a bright, juicy red that's loaded with red fruit, silky smooth and light enough to be seriously good with a slight chill. It's fun, ridiculously drinkable and doesn't take itself too seriously, which sounds a lot like our kind of wine and exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Don't make this complicated. Pizza, burgers, charcuterie, grilled chicken, sausages or pretty much anything coming off the barbecue will work a treat. It's also the kind of red you can just crack with a bowl of chips and call it dinner. Drink now or later? We'd be drinking it now because all that juicy freshness is half the fun. It'll comfortably hold for another 5–6 years, but honestly, this isn't a wine we'd have the patience to hide away. Give it 20 minutes in the fridge and get stuck in. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2025-xavier-goodridge-pa-pa-pinot-noir monthly 0.5 2026-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/3f0c01b5-2307-47ef-a079-33777e3f23b2/Pa+Pa.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2025 Xavier Goodridge Pa Pa Pinot Noir - This is Pinot made for drinking, not overthinking. Bright, juicy red fruit leads the way, with a little savoury edge underneath and a fresh, light-on-its-feet feel that makes the bottle disappear dangerously quickly. Give it a slight chill, get some mates around and get stuck in, because pure drinkability like this is exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Keep it relaxed. Charcuterie, roast chicken, pork schnitzel, mushroom pizza or even grilled salmon will all work a treat. It's also a cracking picnic or barbecue red when you want something lighter. Drink now or later? Now. This is all about freshness, juicy fruit and that easy-drinking energy, so we wouldn't be hiding it in the cellar. Give it 20 minutes in the fridge before opening and you're good to go. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2025-rob-hall-cabernets monthly 0.5 2026-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/dfb4a851-8473-4d76-b160-ce2546eb1e03/Rob+Hall.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2025 Rob Hall Cabernets - This is one of those bottles that seriously overdelivers on what you'd expect. There's loads of juicy dark fruit, but it's the smooth, medium-bodied feel and savoury edge that make it so easy to keep going back for another glass. It drinks like a much more serious bottle than you'd expect, without ever feeling too serious to drink, and that's exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? This is made for dinner. Steak, roast lamb, beef ragu, burgers or anything involving mushrooms will work a treat, but it's versatile enough that you don't need to plan the meal around the wine. Drink now or later? Both. It's beautifully approachable right now, but there's enough structure here to comfortably develop over the next 6–8 years. If you've got a couple, this is another drink-one-now-and-hide-one-away job. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2023-the-pawn-fiano monthly 0.5 2026-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/151803a6-c26d-424d-ab15-589a67b3b708/The+Pawn+Fiano.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2023 The Pawn Fiano - This is one of those wines where everything just seems to fall into place. There's plenty of bright, juicy fruit up front, but it finishes dry, fresh and a little savoury, with a touch of spice that keeps you coming back for another sip. It's uncomplicated in the best possible way, seriously satisfying to drink and exactly the sort of lesser-known variety we love finding, which is why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Seafood is a winner here, particularly grilled fish, prawns or shellfish, but it'll also be brilliant with a creamy pasta or anything with plenty of fresh herbs and vegetables. Drink now or later? It's drinking really well now, so there's absolutely no need to wait. Fiano can develop nicely with some bottle age though, so you could comfortably give it another 2–3 years if you're curious to see where it goes. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2026-yangarra-estate-circle-piquepoul monthly 0.5 2026-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/050c0b86-e872-4fb6-bed3-77df64295b28/Piquepoul.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2026 Yangarra Estate ‘Circle’ Piquepoul - Never heard of Piquepoul? Don't worry, you're probably not alone, but this is exactly the kind of wine we love putting in a Killa Plonk box. It's fresh, zesty and citrusy with a slightly salty edge, but here's the trick: give it 10 minutes on the bench after taking it out of the fridge and it really opens up, bringing out more flavour and texture with every sip. It's refreshing, a little different and a cracking example of why trying something you've never heard of can seriously pay off, which is exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Seafood, seafood, seafood. Oysters are the obvious match, but prawns, grilled fish, calamari or anything fresh and salty will be right at home here. Sunshine wouldn't hurt either. Drink now or later? Now. This is all about freshness and energy, so we'd be enjoying it young rather than hiding it away. Just remember: fridge, bench for 10, then get stuck in. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2025-tar-and-roses-pinor-grigio monthly 0.5 2026-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/19d82bbc-f8cf-48b4-8192-dcac9a9e0d9e/TAR+%26+Roses.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2025 Tar & Roses Pinot Grigio - If you think Pinot Grigio can be a bit forgettable, this one is here to change your mind. Fresh apple, pear and stone fruit meet a little spice and texture, giving it loads more flavour than you might expect while still keeping that crisp, refreshing finish that makes Grigio so easy to drink. There's a reason this bottle has been getting some serious attention, but we reckon what's in the glass says plenty on its own and that's exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Seafood, grilled fish, antipasto, fresh pasta or anything with a bit of salt and crunch will work beautifully. It's also exactly the sort of bottle we'd happily crack with nothing more than some good cheese and a bowl of olives. Drink now or later? Get into it now. There's enough texture and character to hold up for a couple of years, but all that freshness and crunchy fruit is exactly what makes it so good today. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2025-frankland-estate-riesling monthly 0.5 2026-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/1ae47f2c-b9ef-4d36-8d1e-2b3d4ee16f43/Frankland+Estate.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2025 Frankland Estate Riesling - This is seriously good Riesling that manages to be both refreshing and full of flavour. It's bright, zesty and loaded with fresh citrus and crisp apple, with a little spice and a long, clean finish that just keeps you coming back for another sip. There's real quality behind this bottle, but more importantly it's bloody delicious to drink, and that's exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Seafood is a no-brainer, but this will absolutely love anything with a bit of spice. Think prawns, oysters, fish tacos, Thai or Vietnamese, or just get it properly cold and crack it with some salty snacks. Drink now or later? You've got options here. It's brilliant right now while everything is fresh, bright and lively, but this is proper cellar-worthy Riesling and will comfortably develop over the next 10 years. If you've got more than one, drink one now and hide the other somewhere you'll forget about it. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2025-patrick-sullivan-limestone-chardonnay monthly 0.5 2026-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/7fd6ce76-765d-4244-aad4-98261215d92f/Patrick+Sullivan.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2025 Patrick Sullivan Limestone Chardonnay - This is Chardonnay with plenty going on, but none of it gets in the way of simply being bloody good to drink. Fresh lemon and citrus lead the way, with juicy stone fruit and just enough creamy richness underneath to give it some extra weight without ever feeling heavy. It's bright, layered and seriously good drinking right now, which made it a pretty easy one to make the cut. What to eat with it? This can handle a bit more than your average fresh white. Roast chicken, grilled fish, seafood pasta or anything with a creamy sauce will work a treat, but it's equally good cold from the fridge with nothing more complicated than a bowl of salty snacks. Drink now or later? Now. There's enough quality and structure here that it won't fall over if you hang onto it, but this wine is absolutely singing while it's young, fresh and vibrant. Don't wait for a special occasion. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2025-el-rey-albarino monthly 0.5 2026-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/48f7fa6b-ce18-4f6f-92c2-fc42c302cc44/El+Rey.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2025 El Rey Albarino - If Albariño isn't already on your radar, this is a cracking place to start. Bright, zesty and seriously refreshing, it's loaded with citrus and fresh stone fruit, with a crisp, slightly salty finish that makes it ridiculously easy to keep drinking. It's a little different, incredibly easy to love, and that's exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Fresh seafood is the obvious winner so prawns, oysters, grilled fish or fish tacos but it'll also be right at home with tapas, salty snacks or anything with a bit of spice. Drink now or later? This is absolutely ready to go now, when all that freshness and energy is at its best. You could comfortably hang onto it for a couple of years, but we reckon this is one to chill, crack and enjoy rather than forget about in the cellar. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2024-deep-woods-estate-cabernet-merlot monthly 0.5 2026-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/0c9a3570-bd15-4963-ab38-3499b1286463/Deep+Woods.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2024 Deep Woods Estate Cabernet Merlot - This is a proper Cabernet Merlot without any of the ceremony. Packed with rich dark fruit, it's smooth and generous but has enough structure and savoury character to make it feel like a seriously good bottle. You could tuck it away for a special occasion or crack it with pizza on a Tuesday night—and that combination of quality and pure drinkability is exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? This loves something rich and hearty. Slow-cooked lamb, a good steak, beef ragu or even a seriously loaded pizza will all do the trick. Drink now or later? Both. It's drinking beautifully now, but this is one worth forgetting about in the cellar too as it should comfortably develop over the next 5–10 years. If you've got two bottles, you know what to do. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2024-glaetzer-wallace monthly 0.5 2026-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/f2da86e7-08d8-45b3-9ec0-16031ea92b8f/Glaetzer.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2022 Glaetzer Wallace Shiraz Grenache - This is Barossa red doing what Barossa red does best. Big on flavour, generous in the glass and seriously satisfying. The Shiraz brings loads of juicy dark fruit and depth, while the Grenache keeps everything bright and lively, so you get all that richness without it becoming too heavy. It's bold enough for the Shiraz lovers, easy enough to keep pouring, and that's exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Give this one something with a bit of char. Steak off the barbecue, lamb chops, burgers or slow-cooked beef will all be very happy alongside it. Drink now or later? Take your pick. Drink it now for all that bright, juicy fruit, or put it away and let the Shiraz take over as it develops as there's enough here to comfortably cellar for 8–10 years. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2025-yeringberg-babyberg-red monthly 0.5 2026-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/8951ce54-a887-4506-a52f-3d76c5ecea56/Yeringberg.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2025 Yeringberg Babyberg Red - This is what happens when a seriously good producer gets to have a bit of fun. Juicy red and dark fruit lead the way, with a savoury edge and enough grip to give it some character, while staying fresh, medium-bodied and ridiculously easy to drink. It's young, different and gives you a little taste of what's coming next from Yeringberg, which made it an absolute no-brainer to make the cut. What to eat with it? This is a versatile one. Pizza, burgers, grilled sausages, roast chicken or a big antipasto spread so basically, put some food on the table and get pouring. Drink now or later? We'd drink this one young. There's enough structure to hang onto it for a few years, but the whole point is that fresh, juicy energy, so don't feel remotely guilty about cracking it now. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2024-sc-pannell-montepulciano monthly 0.5 2026-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/48cf0295-4496-43f0-8bc2-d778f95cb979/S.C.+Pannell.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2024 S.C. Pannell Montepulciano - This is Italian-style drinking with an Aussie accent so big on flavour, full of juicy dark fruit and made to put a smile on your face. It's rich and generous up front, then turns savoury and fresh as you keep drinking, making it a cracking alternative for anyone who usually reaches straight for Shiraz or Cabernet. It's different without being difficult, seriously delicious and exactly the kind of wine we love finding, which is why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Get the big pot out. Bolognese, slow-cooked ragu, lasagne, pizza or anything rich and tomatoey will absolutely sing with this. Drink now or later? It's made to be enjoyed now, so there's no need to wait. But if a bottle happens to survive, it'll comfortably sit in the cellar for around five years. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2024-airlie-bank-gamay-grenache monthly 0.5 2026-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/2b297565-0ad3-4362-bb1a-055d30b0d995/Airlie+Bank.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2024 Airlie Bank Gamay Grenache - This is the kind of red that proves not every bottle needs to be big and serious. Juicy raspberry and bright red fruit meet a little spice in a fresh, light-on-its-feet style that's ridiculously easy to drink, and even better with a slight chill. It's fun, seriously refreshing and exactly the sort of red we want hanging around when the weather warms up, which is why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Keep things casual. Pizza, charcuterie, grilled chicken, burgers or anything straight off the barbecue will work a treat, and it's a cracking red to take along when you're not quite sure what's being served. Drink now or later? Now. This one's all about freshness, juicy fruit and easy drinking, so stick it in the fridge for 20–30 minutes before opening and get into it. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2024-whistling-eagle-sangiovese monthly 0.5 2026-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/87d73bf6-e602-403e-b508-2950939503f3/Whistling+Eagle.jpg A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2024 Whistling Eagle Sangiovese - This is the kind of red that makes you wonder why we don't drink more Australian Sangiovese. Juicy dark cherry and red fruit meet a savoury, slightly earthy edge, with a smooth, dry finish that gives it plenty of character without ever getting too heavy. It's seriously good drinking and even better with food, which made this one an easy choice to make the cut. What to eat with it? Sangiovese and Italian food are best mates for a reason. Think pizza, tomato-based pasta, lasagne or anything involving slow-cooked meat and a healthy amount of parmesan. Drink now or later? It's drinking beautifully now, but there's enough going on here to comfortably give it another three to five years. Our call?

Tapas is the obvious answer, but pizza, grilled meats, burgers or anything involving chorizo will do the job nicely. Drink now or later? This one's made for drinking rather than staring at in the cellar. Enjoy it now while it's juicy, fresh and full of life, or give it a slight chill when the weather warms up. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2023-latta-wild-west-red monthly 0.5 2026-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/31667f09-3173-489f-88de-fdada275b4ec/Latta+Red.png A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2023 Latta Wild West Red - Wild by name, easy to love by nature. This is a juicy, vibrant red that's bursting with fruit, balanced by a savoury twist that makes it incredibly moreish. It's different enough to be interesting but approachable enough to pour for just about anyone and that's why it made the cut. What to eat with it? This is a throw-it-on-the-table kind of red. Pizza, burgers, barbecue, charcuterie or a big plate of pasta, it's versatile enough to handle pretty much whatever turns up. Drink now or later? Now is the answer. Fresh, juicy and built for pure drinkability, this is one to crack with mates rather than save for a special occasion. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2025-jasper-hill-lo-stesso-fiano monthly 0.5 2026-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/5cb14859-3800-4b85-b622-3c416b97dfc9/Lo+Stesso+White.png A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2025 Jasper Hill Lo Stesso Fiano - One of the best things about Killa Plonk is discovering wines you'd probably never pick up yourself, and this Fiano is a perfect example. Fresh, vibrant and loaded with juicy citrus and stone fruit, it's crisp enough to keep you coming back while offering a little extra texture that makes every glass interesting. It completely won us over, and that's exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Seafood is your friend here. Grilled fish, prawns, calamari or a seafood pasta would be brilliant, but it'll also happily handle antipasto and lighter Mediterranean dishes. Drink now or later? It's fresh and delicious right now, but Fiano can be surprisingly good with a little age. Give it 2–4 years if you're curious, but there's absolutely no reason to wait. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2026-hentley-farm-riesling monthly 0.5 2026-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/3eed0f6a-4d86-44f0-ad36-9835504b79c9/Hentley+Farm+White.png A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2026 Hentley Farm Riesling - Bright, fresh and bursting with zesty citrus, this is the kind of Riesling that puts a smile on your face from the very first sip. It's crisp, refreshing and beautifully balanced, making it just as easy to enjoy on a sunny afternoon as it is with dinner. It delivers everything we look for in a seriously good Riesling, and that's why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Fresh seafood, spicy Asian food, fish tacos or anything with plenty of herbs and citrus will work beautifully. It's also pretty hard to beat straight from the fridge on a warm afternoon. Drink now or later? Both work. It's bright, crisp and ready to go now, but good Riesling rewards patience, so a few years tucked away should bring another layer of interest. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2024-zonzo-scoperta-pinot-grigio monthly 0.5 2026-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/a2e2bda1-a1cb-4885-83a6-0334757b90fb/Zonzo+White.png A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2024 Zonzo Scoperta Pinot Grigio - This is Pinot Grigio done properly. Fresh, crisp and incredibly easy to enjoy. It has plenty of bright fruit flavour without being sweet, finishing clean and refreshing with the kind of balance that makes you want more. It's a smart, seriously drinkable white, and that's exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Keep it fresh. Seafood, salads, antipasto, grilled chicken or a simple bowl of pasta will all work nicely or just pour it with snacks in the sun. Drink now or later? Drink it now. This one's all about freshness, crisp fruit and that lovely clean finish, so there's little reason to leave it gathering dust in the cellar. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2025-jericho-fume-blanc monthly 0.5 2026-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/308f826b-50e3-461a-95fa-3f2b905b33d1/Jericho+White.png A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2025 Jericho Fume Blanc - Think of this as Sauvignon Blanc's more interesting cousin. It's bursting with fresh tropical fruit but has a little extra texture and spice that makes every sip feel that bit more special without losing its freshness. It's a cracking twist on a familiar favourite, and that's exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? This has enough flavour and texture to handle more than your average Sauvignon Blanc. Grilled fish, roast chicken, creamy pasta or anything involving goat's cheese would be a cracking match. Drink now or later? We'd drink it over the next couple of years while the fruit is bright and fresh. There's enough going on to develop further, but we reckon the fun is in drinking it now. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2025-hoddles-creek-estate-chardonnay monthly 0.5 2026-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/36daeec3-bd45-48db-8af9-b858b37fc799/Hoodles+Creek+White.png A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2025 Hoddles Creek Estate Chardonnay - This is Chardonnay at its freshest. Bright, crisp and packed with citrus and stone fruit. It's clean, lively and finishes with a burst of flavour that keeps you coming back for another sip without ever feeling heavy. It's fresh, balanced and seriously easy to love, which is exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Roast chicken, grilled fish, seafood pasta or anything with a little creaminess will work beautifully. It's also fresh enough to crack on its own while you're figuring out what's for dinner. Drink now or later? It's deliberately youthful and fresh right now, but there's more to come if you're patient. Give it 3–5 years and it should develop extra depth, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with getting stuck into it now. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/2025-bests-great-western-riesling monthly 0.5 2026-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69952c4c680e1b1dadf9002d/498dbfcf-6212-4b1f-855f-8618dc3d12e9/Bests+White.png A Killa Plonk Take - Honest Wine Reviews, Guides & Boutique Wine Discoveries - 2025 Best’s Great Western Riesling - This is Riesling at its absolute best. Bright, crisp and bursting with fresh lime and citrus. It's refreshing, beautifully balanced and finishes so clean you'll be halfway through your next sip before you realise it. If you think Riesling isn't for you, this bottle might just change your mind and that's exactly why it made the cut. What to eat with it? Seafood, Thai, Vietnamese, fresh salads or anything with a bit of spice will love the citrusy freshness here. Oysters and a cold bottle wouldn't be a bad afternoon either. Drink now or later? Here's one worth putting a few away. It's deliciously fresh now, but good Great Western Riesling can age beautifully, think 5–10 years if you've got the patience. Our call? Buy two: one for now, one to forget about. https://www.killaplonk.com.au/a-killa-plonk-take-blog/category/Grampians+Great+Western+Victoria monthly 0.5
