Save Our Souls King Valley Pinot Grigio
Hints of kiwifruit and an undertone of white peach embraced by bright acidity giving it a fresh finish. Refreshing and dry, this wine matches perfectly with most dishes from crisp, fresco salads to fresh fish tacos with all the jalapeños. The King River flows down from the heights of Victoria’s Alpine region and has done so for millennia, slowly building a fertile plain of mineral rich alluvial soils. These soils are the broken-down bones of Victoria’s famous high-country. Cool air follows the river down from the mountains, settling in the valley and slowing the ripening of the fruit on the vines that sit alongside the majestic river. This cool climate produces subtle but complex wines that are beautifully balanced and finely structured.
Prosecco Col Fondo
Prosecco Col Fondo, which means ‘with its lees-sediment’, is one of our handmade originals and a bit of a cavedon wines classic! It’s a cloudy style prosecco and up there with one of our favourite ways of drinking the variety. It offers up more character and depth than the modern classic prosecco, but is still light, fun and easy drinking. Think dry, cloudy, sourdough and lemon curd. Grown by us and made by Gabe using the traditional champagne method, col fondo is fermented in the bottle itself. It’s aged on its lees for 18 months before release, giving it that classic sourdough-like aroma you get from slowly made sparkling. Although it has complexity with age, it has loads of vibrancy and freshness with delicate aromatics. Part of the magic in the slow process, is the fine bubble it produces, along with a great balance between natural acidity and a creamy palate. The dry, savoury edge also makes it a standout for food pairing.

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.
Dal Zotto Arneis
Arneis, a crisp, crunchy, spicy Italian white originating from Piedmont, Italy, traditionally made without oak. Dal Zotto are owned and managed by the Dal Zotto family where their vineyards, winery and cellar door lie cradled in the tranquil King Valley in the foothills of the spectacular Victorian Alps of northeast Victoria. Their Arneis shows all the trademark lifted aromatics and crunchy acidity of its Italian cousins. Enjoy with great company and a plate of seared scallops.
Michelini Chardonnay
Medium yellow colour, with the aromas of honey and fig fruit. Rich and buttery with balanced oak length.
Redbank King Valley Chardonnay
Single Vineyard high altitude Chardonnay from the King Valley is harvested in the early morning cool hours and pressed immediately to maximise the vineyards flavour. Full rich aromas of lemon and peach and gentle oak. The complexity of this Chardonnay is the result of partial barrel fermentation in new, French oak barriques, followed by stirring of the yeast lees for several months. Bursting with white peach, lychee and melon, the crisp finish and length of flavour define this wine.
La Cantina King Valley Saperavi
Originating for Georgia, Saperavi when translated means paint or dye which reflects its deep red colour. This wine has delicious bouquet or berries and firm rich tannins.
