A bottle of reasonably-priced (yet delicious) vino is one of life’s simplest pleasures. However, if you’re not exactly a ~sommelier~, it can be a bit tricky to know what to pick out at the bottle-o.
If you don’t have a trip to the Barossa Valley booked in just yet, but you’re keen to expand your palette (on a budget, of course), then look no further than Dan Murphy’s Decoded Wine Awards. They’ve basically handpicked the best wines crafted across Australia and New Zealand, and the best part? A bunch of them are under $20. Yep, that’s right, you can buy award-winning chardonnay for under 20 bucks, which is truly a steal.
Here’s ten you could suss out (from light and fruity whites to full-bodied shiraz’) if you have an upcoming drinks-and-goss night with the girlies:
- Grove Mill Sauvignon Blanc NZ — $14.00
- Tolley Clare Valley Riesling — $12.40
- Franklin Tate Estates Chardonnay — $13.30
