The Segni Di Langa Barolo DOCG 2018 is a true masterpiece from the Piedmont region of Italy. This vintage showcases the signature characteristics of the Barolo varietal, boasting a deep ruby red hue with garnet reflections. On the nose, aromas of ripe cherries, plums, and a hint of truffle dance elegantly with notes of violet and tobacco. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and structured, with velvety tannins and a long, lingering finish. The 2018 vintage is a testament to the skill and expertise of Segni di Langa, with its well-balanced acidity and intense flavor profile. This Barolo pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as braised beef or aged cheeses. Decanting is recommended to fully appreciate the complexity of this exceptional wine. A true delight for any wine connoisseur.

In 1904 a co-operative winery called Ai Vino Delle Langhe was founded and a young man who worked there was Alfred Prunotto. Prunotto took over the estate in 1922, giving it his own name and today it is run under the umbrella of the famous Marchesi Antinori family. Located in Alba the estate tends around 50 hectares of vineyards throughout the Langhe and Monferrato. This Nebbiolo is garnet red in colour with ample and complex aromas of violets and berry fruit, full and velvety in flavour and very balanced. Its structure and body make it an ideal match for meat and game dishes and for cheese.

The EJ Shiraz is the jewel in Paxton's organic and biodynamic crown. Awarded 95 points in the Halliday Wine Companion 2017, this wine is the result of low yielding vines that are more than a century old. The flavour is elegant and round and the nose offers vanilla, black current and oak.

Barossa Valley identity, Kym Teusner, harnesses the fruit weight and concentration of old vine Mataro with expert hands here with the Righteous Mataro. The fruit was sourced from the 'fruit salad' vineyard planted in the 1930s and consists mostly of Grenache, but if you look closely, every fourth vine is a quirky Mataro vine! Wonderful layers of spice over dense blue and black fruits pave the way for a finish that is utterly long and sublime.

One word - legend. Jack Mann served Houghton for a remarkable 51 consecutive vintages. His determination to create wines of intensity, elegance and regional character have inspired a generation of Australian winemakers to achieve great things. Simply one of this country's greatest Cabernets, this wine is not just single vineyard fruit, the selection process is so rigorous that often it is just a few rows from the Justin Vineyard. Such is the reverence for that great man - Jack Mann.

Although this is elegant and seamless by Bandol's standards, there is plenty of density with dark cherry fruit, prune, anise and peppercorn spice. Layered and intricate, a great example of Bandol (and a benchmark Mourvdre) that stylishly brings together generosity and freshness.
