There’s Lloyd Brothers Méthode Champenoise Adelaide Hills Sparkling.

- A Ripping Selection of RedsRegular Price $610.00 $295.00A wonderful selection of red wines from the Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills, Langhorne Creek, McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley. The Sieben Klon is a 95 pointer made by former St Henri growers, the Metala Legacy is as good a Cab as the Langhorne can make (which is mighty fine). Dowie Doole's Shiraz has black fruits, but also, and much rarer, blue fruits too. It is a belter. If all Shiraz had black and blue fruits, no one would buy anything else! Lone Palm's Old Vine Grenache will sell out in a few months and the Angas King Reserve is incredibly fresh for its age and has at least a decade ahead of it. We're predicting a lot of staff orders for this one. Learn More

- Ca ’Botta Cerviero Rosso Veneto 2016Special Price $79.00 Regular Price $89.00In theory this is an entry level wine for Ca’ Botta, carrying the IGT designation rather than the more favoured DOC or DOCG status. Why? Because this is a wine made using Amarone methods using primarily Amarone varieties with the inclusion of Cabernet which is not allowed in Amarone production… They add Cabernet to build freshness and change the tannin profile … to make something as good but a little different to a traditional Amarone. 2.2 kilos of fruit are needed to make just one bottle. We found herbs, black fruits, cherries, spice and pepper here on a pallet which is both concentrated and ethereal. A cracking wine and an absolute bargain. Learn More
- Italian and Spanish ImportsRegular Price $340.00 $195.00Here's an Imported red sampler to wet your whistle, with Piedmontese Nebbiolo and Barbera, Tuscan Sangiovese, a beautifully smooth Valpolicella and a delightful Tempranillo from Rioja. Each of these wines has been handpicked by us from hundreds tasted at the Prowein fair in Germany, the premier Italian wine buying event, Vinitaly, or from tastings at individual wineries. Only a small percentage of what we taste makes the final cut. Definitely worth a rip. Learn More
