w/o Organic Lucido
We first met Dino when he began restoring his grandfather's earthquake-struck vineyard, high in the Sicilian hills. You loved the wine it made - Tenuta Fenice. Not one to sit back, he's started another ambitious new project called w/o - wine made without compromise. He first made a Frappato red, then a crisp rosato and now this rare white. It's made from Lucido (the best clone of the Catarratto grape), all grown organically thanks to Sicily's warm, dry climate and Dino's diligence. It's bottled in 100% recycled glass too, known as 'wild' glass, a UK first. You may notice a little variation in colour, perhaps a few tiny bubbles. All part of the charm, as is the wine's herbal-scented peach fruit. Chill and sip with seafood and lighter dishes.
Steeple Block Semillon
This classy white is just made for lazy summer drinking. Those lovely luscious grassy, citrussy Semillon characters on the crisp, mouthwatering palate are simply sublime with fresh seafood. Try it for yourself and see.
Sunday Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Sunday Bay is a phenomenon. Kiwi Sauvignon is by far our most popular style, and our range is full of standout examples. So it’s a huge statement that Sunday Bay, year after year, is the one our customers rate highest and re-order most. It's made by an award-winning family winery, who were some of the first pioneers of the Marlborough region. Phil and Chris Rose founded the estate back in 1978, now their five children have joined them, so it's very much a family affair. Their Sunday Bay is a classic Sauvignon. Exuberant grapefruit and grassy nettle character with a bright citrus zip; all the usual Marlborough pizzazz and more. It’s very moreish solo or makes the perfect partner to all sorts of seafood, spicy stir-fry or Thai fish cakes.
Moss Brothers Moses Rock Margaret River Pinot Gris
Way back in the 1920s, there was a spirited and lively stallion that roamed the Wilyabrup region of Margaret River, Australia. He was called ‘Moses Rock’, named after the famous left-hander surf break in the area. Moss Brothers' Margaret River wines reflect his spirit and that of the Margaret River region. This pretty Pinot Gris displays fresh aromas of lemon, nashi pear and melon. A rich and generous palate with flavours of tropical fruit, citrus and spice with a creamy mid palate adding complexity. 6 months in French oak gives a lovely savoury finish. Serve alongside roast chicken with preserved lemon and fresh herbs.
Hole in the Clouds Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a phenomenon – a white wine loved by our thirsty customers. And for good reason. This northern-tip region on New Zealand's South Island delivers wines bounding with fabulous ripe tropical fruit and zingy citrus freshness. Not all, however, get it as right as Hole in the Clouds. The grapes that go into this wine have been lavished with the greatest TLC, to ensure ultra healthy, perfectly ripe berries, every one. What's in the bottle will prove that. Chill it down, unscrew the cap and unleash the flavours. You'll smell that fruit before the glass nears your nose. Hole in the Clouds is a blast as a glass on its own, and equally delicious with salmon with saucy salsa, barbecued prawns, chicken or Thai green curry.
Trentham Estate The Family Moscato
This admirable drop was made using Muscat varieties Canada Muscat and White Frontignac, which are well renowned for their intense fragrant characters. Harvested in late January and early February, the grapes were de-stemmed, chilled and pressed with only the very best quality free run juice taken. This has produced a delicate, soft, well-balanced wine with superb natural sweetness and a lower level of alcohol. Pale green straw in colour with incredible aromatics of passionfruit, musk and lychee. Light and sweet on the palate with juicy tropical fruit flavours, this Moscato is bottled with a delicate spritz which makes for a very refreshing style. We love this Moscato with a gorgeous pavlova… whipped cream, passionfruit, berries and all the toppings!
Angove Bin 7890 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc
With 130 years of expertise under the family's belt Angove have plenty of experience to call upon. During that time they have been awarded 'Winery of the Year' and many medals besides for individual wines. Fourth generation John Angove now heads up the cellar that Dr William Angove started in 1886 near Adelaide (by making award winning brandy – a product they're still famous for) and, besides championing unusual grapes, John also pioneers modern styles of wine. This one is simply delicious. Enjoy!
Caravan Pinot Grigio
Crisp apple and fresh pear bounce around in this easy-drinking Pinot Grigio that's a palate-full of flavour. A refreshing addition to afternoon drinks or maybe enjoy it with a chicken pesto salad.
Silenus Reserve Black Label Langhorne Creek Chardonnay
Conditions for grape growing in Langhorne Creek are ideal thanks to the natural fertility of the floodplain soils, the ability of those soils to retain moisture from natural winter floods, and the moderation of the local climate by cooling evening breezes off nearby Lake Alexandrina and the Southern Ocean in summer. Fragrant honeydew melon, white peach, fleshy mango and pineapple, with lively acid on the back palate and just a touch of creamy oak. It’s a beautiful match to roast chicken with all the trimmings.
