The Authors is a new range of wines from Arrowfield. They sit in the middle of the range and below the reserve series. To date they have all been good wines that offer good drinking and value for money. Fruit is sourced from around Australia with a view to matching variety to region. I have the unwooded chardonnay and sauvignon blanc left to review.

Aromas of lemon, honey, touch of herb (rosemary) and a little wool jumper (sulphur). The palate has lemon, herb and some spice flavours. Fairly soft for a young semillon and a little dilute. I’d like to see a bit more focus on and tightness on the palate for higher marks.
