Little Penguin 2003 Chardonnay (South Eastern Australia)
- Best Buy
- $7
The first edition of Southcorp’s new brand yields is a nice, easily likeable Chard. Aromas are light, like talc powder or baking flour, mixed with a few golden apples. The feel is soft and fresh, with soft peach and apple flavors and a juicy finish.

Nose shows light meaty, smoky aromas, and the palate offes up a soft-and-easy feel and plenty of mixed berry fruit. A safe, straightfoward, please-almost-everyone Shiraz.

Blooms with vibrant peach and nectarine notes on the nose, which persist in the mouth. The palate also has a slightly honeyed, or gingery character. Soft and slightly sweet, and just the thing for your next big gig. 200,000 cases produced. Imported by Southcorp Wines.

Smells as rosy and pink as it looks. Just slightly off dry, this Shiraz tastes like flowers and peaches. Drink this quaff on the patio. Imported by Southcorp Wines.

It’s a bit simple, but cleanly made and fruit-forward, with plum and berry flavors that steam right on through from start to finish. Will easily wash down a variety of midweek dishes.

Bold and grapy on the nose, this wine delivers plenty of blackberry and grape flavors, just touched with vanilla. It's jammy and almost sweet-tasting, but satisfies the fruit itch. Drink now.

Little Penguin 2004 Merlot (South Eastern Australia)
- Online Exclusive
- $8
Blackberry and plum aromas have mochalike accents, and it tastes just as it smells. A streak of mint saves this wine from being too cloying, but on the sweet side it certainly is. Will probably appeal most to newer wine drinkers.
