MAY is the month when investors and connoisseurs alike look to Penfolds annual release of their Luxury and Icon Collection, a $1750 parcel this year of stalwarts led by the latest Grange to go into the market place, similarly a Yattarna Chardonnay and the finest Cabernet Sauvignons and Shiraz.<\/p>\n

And this year an inaugural release of a new contemporary Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, the Bin 169 from the 2008 vintage ($250 from Cellar Door only.)<\/p>\n

The Grange is the 2007 that’s priced at $625, the Yattarna Chardonnay the 2009 from the best cool-climate regions ($130 Cellar Door and select on-premises only,) while there is also a 2010 Reserve Bin A Adelaide Hills Chardonnay that’s got a $95 price tag.<\/p>\n

Also at $95 is the 2008 St Henri Shiraz, and at $250 a 2009 Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2009 RWT Barossa Valley Shiraz ($175,) and a 2009 Magill Estate Shiraz that’s available Cellar Door and select on-premises only at $130.)<\/p>\n

Penfolds Chief Winemaker, Peter Gago describes these wines as “classic Penfolds with a solid track record for cellaring performance\u2026 the collection spans four vintages and includes the best of the new, together with the inaugural 2008 Bin 169 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon \u2013 a wine style that is reflective of our winemaking team’s search for diversity and excellence.”<\/p>\n

HERE’S a perfect match with antipasto
to get that lunch humming.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

ONE FOR LUNCH:<\/b> WE attended a Mother’s Day fund-raiser lunch for breast cancer research, and on arrival all the ladies were presented with a nicely chilled glass of Domaine Chandon Pinot Noir Ros\u00e9, a pink bubbly that proved not only moreish but very appropriate in colour for the occasion.<\/p>\n

This cool climate drop from the Yarra Valley was full of red berry, cherry and spicy aromas and flavours, and ideal at $24.95 to get the lunch humming \u2013 and you’ll find, a great match with antipasto.<\/p>\n
