This South Australia Viognier comes across as restrained on the nose, offering up little more than some vaguely smoky or flinty notes, then delivers melon, pear and spice notes via a full-bodied, slightly oily-textured palate. Turns crisp and citrusy on the finish.

Delivers scents of melon, herb and underripe peach. This is plump and textural without being particularly concentrated or rich, fading a bit rapidly on the finish.

Smooth, easy-drinking and lushly textured, this Verdelho features peach and grapefruit notes that stay refreshingly clean and crisp on the finish. It should work well as an apéritif or with many fish dishes.

This medium-bodied white features attractive scents of lime zest and pineapple. On the palate, the flavors veer toward apple and citrus, which fade rapidly on the finish. Drink now.

Starts strong, with a lovely bouquet of bruised apple. The palate, however, doesn’t quite measure up; the pretty apple theme continues but there’s a wateriness and a simplicity that disappoints. Finishes fresh and bright.

Sweet, plummy fruit wears heavy, lemon-tinged oak aromas. Tastes like wines half its price: simple plum and berry fruit, with a metallic edge. Finishes short. Imported by Old Bridge Cellars.

Picked relatively early—the finished alcohol level is only 11%—this is suprisingly soft and round while remaining light in body: It’s a charming sylph. The only quibble is that the lime-like flavors fade relatively quickly on the finish.

Features charred and herbal overtones, but otherwise pleasant cherry fruit and a weightiness borne of moderately high alcohol (14%). The fruit fades a bit quickly on the finish, leaving some drying tannins behind, so serve with rare beef or lamb.

Much of the region’s fruit goes into regional blends, but this wine shows the voluptuous midpalate that characterizes so much of Langhorne Creek’s fruit. Vanilla and berries predominate, accented by savory mocha, leather and briar shadings, and turning just a little warm on the finish. Drink now–2015 or so.
