WINE OF THE MONTH - MAY
Your new favourite Chardonnay is here! This is Chardonnay Maestro Patrick Sullivan’s ‘entry level’ offering. Whilst Pat crafts his single vineyard wines from his home region of Gippsland, the fruit for this wine comes from three regions on South Australia’s Limestone Coast – volcanic terroir of Mt Gambier, Wrattonbully and Coonawarra. It has all the hallmark detail of Patrick’s wines with the mineral drive and generosity that the three regions bring to the wine playing a central role. Classic Chardonnay citrus on the nose with grapefruit and lime. Baking spice and toasty oak elements are there as well. These elements are all joined on the generous and full palate by riper stonefruit and lemon curd as well as toasty elements from oak in well balanced proportion. Through it all is the regionally derived minerality that pulls the wine along the palate for a moreish and thirst quenching finish. A smashing drink now wine from one of this country’s best Chardonnay producers. We know you’ll love the Patrick Sullivan Chardonnay as much as we do.

Testimonials
On one of my many trips to Sydney, I decided to visit the Australian Wine Center as I had been looking to buy some Hollick wines that are very challenging to find outside of Australia. They were able to help and arranged to ship a case back to California for me. That was the start of a long term relationship with the AWC as I have purchased hundreds of wines from them over the years, many based on their personal recommendations, and I have now diversified my cellar to include wines from across all regions of Australia. Without the recommendations, selections, packaging and shipping services that Michael and Zachery operate flawlessly, I would have a big hole in my collection. Give them a try; you will not be disappointed.

As an expatriate Australian living in the U.S., I have for several years ordered my Australian wine “care package” from the Australian Wine Centre. The variety of wines available and service (including organising shipment to our home in the US) are excellent.

If you are a lover and collector of fine Australian wines and live overseas then The Australian Wine Centre is definitely the place to go. Use their website or once they know what you are interested in, they will send you specially customized offers to suit and even find those hard to get wines that you may have always wanted to try. If you are organizing a function, they will help you select the wine and deliver. Service with a smile. Logistics and delivery no problem.

I have used the Australian Wine Centre for over 20 years and bought over 500 bottles from them. They offer a tremendous selection that includes all the well known vintners, and features smaller, hard-to-find producers that are so often the highlight of Australia’s wonderful wine industry. This selection, complemented by the broad knowledge, expertise, and dedication of the staff, make the Australian Wine Centre THE source for Australian wine.
Tony, California
I continue to tell everyone I know in the States that you have the best wine service I have ever seen. Thanks for all your help with the selection as well as the shipment.
Fairfield, Colorado
All is well, the wine arrived today…FYI the case was in excellent shape, one would never know that it travelled half way round the world!
Don, California
I just wanted to say thank you so much for the wonderful service you provided to me yesterday. It’s so refreshing to encounter that kind of service. I rang to place an order, was served quickly, efficiently and with a pleasant demeanour. I then received the order yesterday afternoon, but not by a courier company, someone from your shop had walked up my 8 bottles of champagne himself – how wonderful to get such personal service and all with a smile…

This is probably the best place in the country to buy cases of wine to send home. The proprietors stock an extensive selection of fine Australian wines, and the staff are completely clued in to each state’s liquor laws and the shipping procedures. Their packing is almost breakage free, and they provide competent, personal service. Premium wine from all the major growing areas in the country are sold, including vintages from some boutique wineries that don’t export overseas. One of New South Wales’ largest stocks of Penfolds Grange Hermitage and other rare wines are on hand.

And finally, if you’re thinking of buying wine to ship home, the best place to do it is the privately run Australian Wine Centre. It has a vast selection of Aussie wines, including some older vintages and specialises in keeping track of how to navigate American wine regulations legally.
Wine Spectator Magazine, October 1996
It’s a veritable Alladin’s cave of Australian and New Zealand drops – the choice is simply staggering. One of the city’s premium wine shopping experiences.
