2010 Clovelly Estate South Burnett, Queensland, Semillon Chardonnay

There's a little fish on the label, but this winery is nowhere near the sea (despite the fact that Clovelly is one of Sydney's great beaches). It's above Brisbane and inland from the Sunshine Coast. The winery was only established in 1997. I would go back for more, except this wine gave me a headache. Their white label, they say, is their easy-drinking range. The South Burnett Council says the following of the area: 'The South Burnett is a scenic patchwork of fertile soils and vivid green crops, which produce a variety of fruits, nuts, vegetables, cheeses and other gourmet foods. It is also one of Australia's newest wine producing regions with many vineyards and olive groves complementing the traditional crops.  To the south west lie the majestic Bunya Mountains.' It's great that the label lists both the winemaker, Luke Fitzpatrick, and viticulturalist, Peter Stewart.
