Lance Parkin is the winemaking brains behind new WA label Battles. Lance was formerly a senior winemaker at giant winery Houghton in the Swan Valley, before the sale of that winery in 2019, at which point he and many of his team quit and decided to set up their own ventures. Here he teams up with long time friend Kris Ambrozkiewicz, local sommelier and wine distributor, and they are making some of the most exciting wines coming out of WA at the moment!

Using fruit from across the Margaret River and Frankland River regions, from famed vineyard sites, Lance is crafting modern, hugely drinkable wines with real intrigue and interest. They don't yet own their own vines, so this process of sourcing the best fruit is integral to the success of the project, and so far they haven't put a foot wrong. Moderate alcohols, a focus on fruit and a gentle hand with the oak barrel mean the wines are easy to enjoy in their youth, but the best of them show the stuffing and texture to go the long haul. This is a name to keep an eye on.

From what is fast becoming the hottest vineyard in Australia (the Swinney vineyard), this wildly aromatic white is a mash up of Riesling, Pinot Grigio and Gewürztraminer. Has excellent focus and poise, whilst still being characterful and expressive. Look out for kiwifruit, grapefruit, melon and tangerine, backed up by talc, chalk and crushed rocks. Brilliant.
