Battle of the Vines Episode Rating Graph

Liinaa and Frank go head to head to see which Australian state makes the best Sparkling Wine. Over three rounds and three different price-ranges, our 'Mixed Dozen' everyday people will be judging and choosing their favourite Sparkling Wine from across Australia.

Chardonnay is the wine Australia is falling in and out of love with - and the affair is back on hot and strong and the new style Chardonnays are stunning. Arthur presents an informative glass guide on why the Riedel oaked chardonnay wine glass has such a spectacular bowl and Liinaa and Arthur go back to the seventies for a mini history of Australian Chardonnay.

The trickiest and most mercurial of all the varietals sends Frank and Liinaa to all corners of Australia and the results are highly surprising. Will traditional Pinot powers such as Victoria and Tasmania trump lesser known regions?
