Clare Valley, SA Hunter Valley, NSW Best Wines Under $50

We have long been fans of Claymore. The Dark Side of the Moon is their best and most underpriced wine, offering spice, dark fruits, raspberries, concentration, and plenty of fine tannins. As always, there is a smoothness and polish to this wine which belies its sub $30 price point. Learn More

Claymore have a habit of producing excellent Riesling and that habit is no danger here. Displaying everything you’d want in a young Riesling, lifted aromatics, crisp acidity and succulent lime. A silky palate that extends to a long dry finish just leaves you wanting more. Learn More

Opening on the nose of this ripping Chardonnay is a toasty buttery character. This hits all the right spots, textural without being overblown, with lovely melon and stonefruit flavours, excellent length and cleansing acidity. Don’t over chill it and you’ll enjoy it in all it’s glory. Learn More

Lanolin and citrus meet lemon curd here. The texture is more generous than is typical with young Sem, making this an absolute winner right now. That said, if you like your Sem with age this will improve for at least 10, maybe 20 years. James Halliday rates First Creek Wines as a 5 red star producer and offers the following … ‘The quality of the wines has been consistently exemplary, and there is every reason to believe this will continue in the years to come.

A great vintage and a stunning wine which we believe is equal or better than the 2017 which was awarded 97 points by James Halliday. Amazing depth of blue and black fruits, coffee, dark chocolate, spice and richness. Wonderful now or will cellar for 10 years very comfortably. Learn More

Aromas of pear, citrus peel, preserve lemon, green apple and honeysuckle. Superb texture and depth of fruit underpinned with a gorgeous savoury salinity. Drink any time over the next 5 years. Learn More

A incredible and very food friendly Malbec which is reminiscent of the best of high-altitude Argentinian Malbec. Showing fresh raspberry, cherries, cherry pip and plum. Exceptional length and concentration, all whilst being medium bodied. Learn More

In the words of James Halliday, who scored this 97 points, ‘This variety is grown all over Corisca, and I've spent days tasting it there. First Creek's effort is extraordinary. It has a perfumed bouquet and a rich palate with a blend of tropical and citrus fruits comforting every part of the mouth and then allowing the inclusion of lime-infused acidity on the finish. Wow.’ Learn More

Another utterly delicious, world-class Vermentino, reminiscent of the best examples produced in Corsica. The nose is perfumed, the palate medium bodied and textural, with tropical and citrus flavours on the palate leading to a mineral finish. A ripper. Learn More

A single vineyard Clare Riesling exhibiting citrus florals, lychee and lime on the nose. The palate follows suit, with concentrated Riesling flavours presented in a relatively textural setting.

More textural than your usual Clare Valley Riesling, this 2023 release is bright and limey on the nose and the palate shows citrus flavours of lemon and lime joined by Bickford brown lime, apple and nectarine. It is powerfully packed with fruit and finishes with refreshing acidity. Learn More

Massive- a big, dark and super rich red wine, yet smooth and textural. Plenty of oak, and good acidity. On the tasting panel, we kinda expected to hate this, given it's 16.3% alcohol – fair to say we were wrong! Learn More
