A lovely low acid, textural PG. Perfect with a plate of Carbonara or Fish n Chips, this offers baked apples, ginger, custard and pears. A perfect ‘first glass’ of the evening, but even better with the aforementioned dishes. Would also work at the end of the evening with an aged Comté cheese. Learn More

Produced from 120-year-old Grenache bush vines and 80 year old Shiraz vines. The fruit is cold soaked for 14 days before a slow ferment.

The resulting wine is deep and complex with black fruits, vanilla, plenty of cedar and spice leading to a long, generous and finely tannic finish. Learn More

Opening on the nose of this ripping Chardonnay is a toasty buttery character. This hits all the right spots, textural without being overblown, with lovely melon and stonefruit flavours, excellent length and cleansing acidity. Don’t over chill it and you’ll enjoy it in all it’s glory. Learn More

A beautifully silky and expressive mid-weight shiraz. Blackberries, plums, chocolate, with red fruits and great acidity too.

A classic Vintage of Bernoota, with the oak dialed back slightly and the fruit impressively powerful. Black fruits and spice, chocolate, vanilla, and plenty of fine-grained tannins. One of Australia’s great red wine bargains! Decant this one, serve with a powerful protein, or both! Will cellar for 10+ easily. Learn More

Lanolin and citrus meet lemon curd here. The texture is more generous than is typical with young Sem, making this an absolute winner right now. That said, if you like your Sem with age this will improve for at least 10, maybe 20 years.

The original Langhorne Creek plantings of Shiraz from 1891 form the backbone and majority of this Shiraz from the brilliant 2021 vintage from Metala. The fruit is rich, the flavours complex and long, showing off the vine age as chocolate, cherries, pepper, blueberries and more cavort long before being wrapped up in quality, cedary oak. As good as the previous vintage was, this is better. Learn More
