Willowlake Vineyard has long been the source of some of the Yarra Valley's most impressive Chardonnays. Located in the Upper Yarra, this predominantly north-facing site is home to 40-year-old vines and red volcanic soils with gravel over mudstone. This is the swansong for BOAW Chardonnay from this vineyard, but 2021 was a heck of a year to finish, as Philip Rich's note below makes clear.

Region: Langhorne Creek
"Ripe, tarry plums and black cherries with violets, rocks, coffee and graphite. Refined notes of balsamic fruit and cocoa powder, too. Full-bodied and juicy with an iron fist of tannins, yet at the same time so velvety and polished. Very long, focused finish, showing lots of finesse and layers. Drinkable now, but better after 2025." 95/100. James Suckling

Bodegas Barrero are an undiscovered treat here in Australia. Much used by the Navazos project, this bodega makes some wonderful Sherries, of which this is a terrific starting point.
This is superb value.
Classic flor notes dominate the aromatics, but don't overpower the wine - there are still nuances of fresh bread, almond and saline notes. The palate is quite delicate but wonderfully fresh with excellent racy, salty flor-driven Manzanilla character.

El Maestro's Amontillados are aged for six years under a full flor before being fortified and aged for at least another six years.
El Maestro Sierra Amontillado displays a delicate blend of roasted almonds, dried apple and more oxidative caramel and cedar characters. Like all the El Maestro Sierra wines, Amontillado is bottled en rama: with minimal fining or filtration.' Notes from the importer

'The Oloroso 15 años is the youngest Oloroso produced by this house. The fact that it comes with an age statement (other than the official VOS and VORS) is quite rare in the Jerez region. [...] dry, nutty start. Hazelnuts, brazil nuts. Umami notes of beef stock and dried mushrooms. On the other end of this earthy, darker side there is a brightness of bitter oranges and fresh figs.'

'A rich nose with intense flor. Cashew and walnuts, with hints of toasted pumpkin seeds. Some ripe apple. Briney olive juice. Light rancio notes as well, even a few cheesy hints which work well here. [...] A really characterful Fino that is a great ambassador for this artisan bodega.' SherryNotes.com

On the nose, it is fresh and intense, highlighting the aromas of forest fruits that are integrated in a balanced way with oak notes and a spicy touch that adds complexity. On the palate, the wine is tasty, with a soft and pleasant entry that brings freshness. Its passage through the mouth is friendly and balanced, with a long and persistent finish that leaves a nice impression … more
