Halliday Wine Companion 'By the Glass' EP 12: Former Hawthorn footy captain Richie Vandenberg is on a mission to remove and recycle one billion single-use plastic bottles from our oceans by 2030, via his wine label The Hidden Sea.

Want to know what wine we were drinking? 

• 2021 PINOT GRIGIO. Light, lively and crisp with fresh fruits and mouth watering pear, peach and bright acidity.

• 2021 CHARDONNAY. Expressive yet refined with generous stone and citrus fruits and hints of vanilla and apple cake spice notes. A fresh but textural mid-palate with great balance and length.
