The Barossa Valley is one of the oldest wine regions in Australia. Renowned for its big Shirazes, this wine won't disappoint. Two Churches is full of plum and spice leading to a warm finish that is well-rounded and makes for very enjoyable drinking. A wonderful match to a meaty lasagna.

Cockburns Fine White is a blend of young wines from high altitude vineyards that has been matured in stainless steel for up to 18 months to accentuate its freshness. It has a delicate golden colour with crisp, flowery aromas and hints of almond. Cockburns Fine White is perfect for mixing. Served in a large glass over ice with tonic water, a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint, it makes the perfect Port and Tonic, but it can also be served chilled on its own.

The Hewett and Colton families sailed from England to Adelaide in 1839. Charles Hewitt moved to the Oxenberry farm site in 1840. The fruit for this appealing Shiraz is from the site where Hewet and William Colton planted McLaren Vale’s first vines, fed by a local freshwater spring. The Shiraz is beautifully crafted by McLaren Vale stalwarts, the Scarpantoni brothers, who back in 2007 won the highly prized Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy at the Royal Melbourne Wine Show. Blackberries, plum, a chocolatey texture, with smooth tannins and a touch of savoury spice, means this suits many dishes from herby lamb to tomato pasta.

Pastora is a Manzanilla Pasada that comes from the 'Solear' solera system in Bodegas Barbadillo. It is aged two more years than Solear to allow it to develop greater body, depth and more 'flor' character. The final 'solera' stage of Pastora is in Barbadillo's 'Pastora' bodega. It is a true Pasada with its golden hue, pungent yeast, nut and chamomile flavour and is remarkably smooth.

A ripe, full bodied style of Chardonnay full of melon fruit leading into rich tropical flavours. There's a good length of citrus acidity running along the palate to keep things fresh, while the oak is gentle and well integrated.

Rich, limey and dry, this is classic Barossa Riesling from Barossa winemaker Peter Kelly. You be hard pressed to find such a stunning Riesling at this price. Bronze Medal, Royal Sydney Wine Show.

Controlling a bullock team is akin to crafting a fine wine; both endeavours demand patience, skill and a delicate balance of guidance and restraint. Savour a glass of Merlot, with aromas of Satsuma plums and juicy red fruits with a touch of dark chocolate and oak. A well balanced wine with a supple tannin finish.
