$20-$35
Casa Freschi Ragazzi Chardonnay, Adelaide Hills 2013 $27
This bright yellow chardonnay has nutty, nougat-like, slightly smoky aromas that are complex and appealing. In the mouth, it’s soft and rich, deep and satisfying. A very good wine with real individuality, that’s a little out of the mainstream. Now to four years. 13 per cent alcohol. 93/100 - Huon's Wine 360
Food: roast chicken
Stockists: The Prince Wine Store, Melbourne; Sydney inquiries: 02 9572 7285

Casa Freschi Ragazzi Pinot Grigio, Adelaide Hills 2013 $25
This is a superb wine that should win over the PG sceptics. Very complex, it has a nutty, smoky lees-influenced bouquet with some smoked-chicken hints, giving it a more than passing resemblance to a complex, slightly wild, chardonnay. Rich, mouth-filling, balanced and clean to finish. Now to five years. 13 per cent alcohol. 92/100 (Huon's Wine 360)
Food: smoked chicken salad

Casa Freschi Ragazzi Pinot Grigio, Adelaide Hills 2012 $25
This grigio is full of interest, enhanced by subtle barrel characters, giving spice and toasted-nut aromas to go with its floral notes. The palate opens with bracing acidity and fresh, nervy flavour with piercing crispness and length. It finishes clean and dry but not austere. Very food friendly. Drink now. 12.5 per cent alcohol. 95/100 (Huon's Wine 360)
Food: antipasto
