Chardonnay

You can't really expect more than you get here for $13. The style is fresh and perfectly leaned out for food with light aromatic peach and citrus notes. There's a touch of butter to smooth out the fresh peach and light lemon and lees flavours that coat the palate. A touch watery (juicy) in a good way in the finish. Simple, well-made, fresh atypical cheap chardonnay that's perfect with chicken or seafood. Good value. Has Yattarna reshaped every chardonnay at Treasury?

This recommendation is more a reader reminder than breaking news, because the Bin 65 has been Australia's hallmark value-priced white since 1985. But it is still a reliable, inexpensive choice as well as Australia's most-exported white wine. Bouncy yellow fruit on the palate is accented by spicy, gingery notes that seem a little grown-up for a wine of this price. Fat, ripe nectarines and peaches, plus some nutmeg and cream, waft from the nose. The 2002 Bin 45 Cab (85 points, $8) is also a great buy.
