Nugan Estate Sangiovese
When a young Alfredo emigrated from Spain in 1940, he had a clear vision of his family’s new life in Australia. Today, his legacy sees the Nugan family established as one of Australia’s most successful agricultural enterprises. This wine is a tribute to his vision and the passion he instilled in his family. Sourced from the Frasca’s Lane Vineyard in Victoria’s cool climate King Valley. Ripe aromas of cherry with hints of mocha, dark chocolate and earth followed by a savoury palate of spicy plum and raspberry with well-integrated tannins.
Nugan Estate Durif
Nugan Durif exhibits aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and cherry with hints of aniseed and all-spice. A full-bodied wine displaying soft chewy tannins and a youthful fine acid balance with a generous palate of dark cherry and plum pudding with dusty chocolate, earth and spice. Durif is otherwise known as Petit Syrah.
Cloak & Dagger Prosecco
Brown Brothers Brut Reserve Non-Vintage
Hand picked grapes from cool climate vineyards in the King Valley and Tumbarumba were used to craft a methode traditionelle sparkling wine of the highest quality. Lifted aromas of green apple and citrus on the nose, and after extended time on lees the palate is soft and creamy with brioche characters.
Pizzini Prosecco RosemL
Dal Zotto Col Fondo Prosecco
Col Fondo Prosecco undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle and isnt disgorged. The flavoursome leesy sediment dances on the bottom, hence col fondo, literally meaning from the bottom. This is how Italian prosecco used to be crafted before industrialisation turned it into mostly cheap fizz made in stainless steel tanks. This is complex, refreshing, lightly fizzy with plenty of acidity keeping it alive and kicking.
Weathercraft Beechworth Pinot Gris
Crafted from 100% Beechworth fruit, with wild yeast fermentation and extended lees contact to enhance texture and mouthfeel. Some casual time in (seasoned) oak imbues savouriness and an added layer of complexity to the wine. The result is a zesty, dry Gris that is enjoyably easy to drink any time of year.
Warner Vineyard Beechworth Roussanne
Handpicked, whole bunch pressed, limited time on skins and racked with full solids into French oak of varying age and sizes including some new (Rousseau) oak. Like all Warner Vineyard wines this was with indigenous yeasts and left on lees until bottling in February 2016. This wine has been treated with minimal intervention including no filtering prior to bottling. This wine has a beautiful colour imparted from the skins and lees.
Rowlee Single Vineyard Arneis
Rowlee are one of the new guard of high quality, small volume producers that are redefining the modern day wine scene in Orange. Pale and bright. Lemon blossom, musk, pear, pink apple and almond. Bright, fresh and pure, with an elegant mix of white and yellow fruit, silken texture, crunchy acidity and some faint herb and grilled nut characters to finish.
Brokenwood Chardonnay
Brokenwood continue to push the boundaries with their Chardonnay - this release sees the majority of fruit sourced from the exciting Beechworth region and winemaking inputs emphasise complexity.
