Though I love the Small Wonder Rose, the Riesling was not great. Much too sharp perhaps, no depth. Tamar Valley.
From late 2020, I have been living in Tasmania, central north coast. I lived in Northern Rivers, NSW, Australia, 2008-2020: Zones: Northern Rivers, Norther Slopes, Granite Belt (Qld), + Canberra wines (when I stayed there) + what I bought locally. I lived in Adelaide for over 20 years. I grew up in NSW.

Nocton Estate Chardonnay
Coal River Valley, Southern Tasmania. The Chardy is perhaps too lemony for my taste. But Nocton is the first to make a Chenin Blanc in Tasmania.
Devil's Corner 2022 Riesling
Surprisingly good, given I am used to Clare Valley Riesling., and given that Devil's Corner can be run-of-the-mill.
Strelley Farm Estate NV Rose
A very peachy sparkling in perfume and on the palate and in its colour. Coal River Valley near Cambridge. A blend of selected vintages: hence no year on the bottle. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. https://www.fogarty.wine/products/strelley-farm-nv-sparkling-rose
