Briar Ridge Bartali Rusty Mutt Leconfield Barristers Block Hastwell & Lightfoot Evans & Tate Ferngrove Dry Best Wines Under $50
Alberto Bartali Terraiolo Organic Chianti DOCG 2021$50.002021 is one of the finest Chianti vintages in living memory, rated at 98/100 by Wine Spectator Magazine. This is a superb organic Chianti intended for consumption over the next 5-10 years. It has the expected fruit intensity and tannin grip of a young Chianti so decant and enjoy this with protein if you are drinking in the next 5 years. Red fruits and leather here, dried cherry, salami, espresso and a waft or two of high quality tobacco. Lovely! Learn More- Briar Ridge Dairy Hill Semillon 2024Special Price $40.00 Regular Price $45.00A delicious Sem which can be drunk now or cellared for a decade. Green apple, citrus, oxalis grass, smoky notes, seaweed and a generous mouthfeel all recommend a second glass. Generous, refined, textural and loaded with fruit. Learn More
- Briar Ridge Hillrose Shiraz 2023Special Price $43.00 Regular Price $55.00Medium bodied, red fruited and spicy. Lots of complexity here with raspberry, blueberry, musk, aniseed and white pepper at play. Tannins are fine and silken. Lovely! Learn More
- Briar Ridge Limited Malbec 2024Special Price $35.00 Regular Price $40.00
Dark cocoa, red plum, tobacco, blackberries. Plenty of acid and a long finish with fine tannins. We don't make much Malbec here in Oz, less than Argentina, who grow about 3/4 of the world's Malbec, less than France, the US, and South Africa. A lot of what we do make gets blended away to good effect with Cabernet. It's amazing how often a straight Cab is improved with the addition of Malbec. It's a pity, because Malbec is an exceptional straight varietal, and the Briar Ridge is a great example.
Made From: Estate grown Malbec
Aromas and Flavours: Blackberry, tobacco, cocoa, red plums and more
Drink if you like: Bleasdale Malbec
Food: Malbec loves pork and intense cheese. Argentinians consider it the ultimate steak wine.

Tannis are fine and supple, making this particularly enjoyable now - but don't be afraid to chuck this away for a decade either. Learn More
- Briar Ridge Limited Viognier 2024Special Price $35.00 Regular Price $40.00
Rich, complex, fragrant and textural, this is a ripper. It has spent time in old French oak with batonage, aka lees stirred, employed to accentuate the wonderfully velvety fruit. If you like rich Viognier or buttery Chardonnay, this is worth a look.
Made From: 100% Viognier
Aromas and Flavours: Orange blossom, peach, creaminess, honeysuckle, spice
Drink if you like: Buttery Chardonnay, Viognier
Food: Viognier, like Chardy, is low acid so it's best to avoid acidic fruit. Chicken Tagine or poached Salmon would work well
Learn More - Briar Ridge Terra Rossa Malbec 2022Special Price $25.00 Regular Price $27.00Powerful black and blue fruits, sage smoke, meat, lilly pilly, mint and rose petal. Black cherry, spice, coffee and dark chocolate. A complex beast and exceptional value for money. Learn More
- Briar Ridge The Gatherer Shiraz 2023Special Price $50.00 Regular Price $55.00Outstanding! We gave it 97 on our tasting panel, and shortly thereafter, this picked up a trophy at the Hunter Boutique Wine Show. This is a medium bodied, aromatic Rhone style, with purple and blue fruits, smoky notes, redcurrant panna cotta, mulberry, black pepper, and violets. Loads of spice here, purple flowers and more. Gorgeous, and captivating, both aromatically and on the palate. Learn More
- Evans and Tate Redbrook Margaret River Chardonnay 2022$40.00
Delicate and complex and with a long life ahead of it, the 22 Redbrook Chard offers a tight citrus line underpinned by stonefruits, creamy lees and a hint of reductive smokiness and funk. Intense, fresh yet rich and with a beautiful texture.
Learn More - Ferngrove Estate Reserve Tempranillo 2023$27.00
As good as Tempranillo gets. This is rich and spiced, with blackberries, juicy cherries and a savoury finish. The palate is gorgeously velvety and comforting with just the right amount of acid and tannins to give this length and persistence.
Learn More - 6 pack - $30.00/bottle53% Off RRPGrenache from Oz vs Sangio from Chianti vs Tempranillo from SpainRegular Price $385.00 $180.00
Three grapes. Three countries. One killer 6-pack.
Australia is now making some of the best Grenache on the planet. The Lienert's Sieben Klon is made from 8 distinct clones. It is fragrant, medium bodied and delicious. Dandelion's Faraway Tree is sourced from the Firehawk Farm vineyard in McLaren Vale- perhaps the greatest region for Grenache on the planet. Chianti remains the spiritual home of Sangiovese, and Bartali one of its most excellent producers. Rioja sets the gold standard for Tempranillo. Carlos Serres are one of only 2 Rioja producers who have been at it for over a century - with old vines, incredible fruit density and an ability to consistently punch out ripping Temps. This magical six-pack spans the globe, yet will set you back just $180.
Whether you’re a Grenache fiend, a sucker for Sangiovese, or just want to see how Rioja stacks up, this is a rare chance to taste six benchmark wines side by side — no airfare required.
Learn More - Hastwell & Lightfoot Fiano 2022Special Price $25.00 Regular Price $30.00A bright, fresh wine combining the flavours of stone fruit, ripe pear and a touch of honey. Mouthfeel is good, and this wine responds well to decanting. Learn More
