Langhorne Creek, SA Veneto, Italy Wine List

All about the red fruits and plum here, in a fluffy, lush, cuddly, generous and bubbly setting. There’s Christmas cakey spices and a hint of quince paste to boot. Lip smackingly delicious. Learn More

A brilliant, medium bodied, single vineyard temp with minimal oak influence. A wonderful red fruit and chocolate palate, complexity coming from the mix of red cherries, chocolate, supportive acidity and fine fruit tannins. Learn More

Our 3rd vintage of the Torcinato, and absolutely the finest to date. This is a big and exceptionally well-structured and refined wine which requires at an hour in a decanter before drinking. It is powerful yet silky smooth, with intense red and blue fruits, cola, tobacco, blackberries, cherries and fresh thyme. Fruit is air dried prior to fermentation for 45 days meaning that 1.6 kg of fruit are required to make each bottle! Learn More

In 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

Dress it up with a quality beef salad, dress it down with gourmet snags or pizza, this wine works well in a variety of settings. It is a darkly fruited yet eminently slurpable wine thanks to the addition of a few handfuls of Dolcetto. There are black fruits, spices, and enough acid to accentuate the fruits and get your mouth watering. Delicious. Learn More

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

An incredibly rich and vibrant nose laden with black cherries, violets blackcurrants, herbs and cedar leads to a palate pleasingly awash with the same. Texture, length, intensity and the fine-grained finish are all exceptional. Learn More

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

A beautifully fragrant and mouthwatering nose laden with violets, blackcurrants and dried oregano leads to a voluptuous palate. This is pristine, varietally perfect, medium bodied Cabernet. A joy to drink by itself and with lamb dishes. Learn More

An exceptional, brightly, and intensely fruited medium-bodied Shiraz sourced from 50-year-old Langhorne Creek vines. Bold red and black fruits are bolstered by good acidity. The wine is finished with vanilla, spindles of oak, and fine tannins. Learn More

A cracking and deceptive Sangiovese. What initially appears to be soft and fruity quickly reveals a strong core of fruit and plentiful tannins and acidity. A genuinely excellent Sangio which is a joy to drink now and will improve with age. Learn More

We make a lot of sh1t Merlot here in Australia, so it such a pleasure to have a really good one on board! There’s an opulence of Plums here shot through with Cabernet-like greenery. Fruit flavours, intensity and the length of this one are all excellent. Learn More
