East Coast artisans of premier Pinot Noir, Spring Vale produce an attractive and engaging aromatic red wine that shows notes of strawberry jam and violets on the nose and the palate displays soft flavours of wild berries and summer fruits. Perfect for experiencing the complexities of Tasmanian Pinot Noir without the price tag.

While certainly lighter, more elegant, and a different style to that of some of previous years, the 2011 vintage is one of the greatest Grenache vintages Yangarra has ever produced. The white pepper spice is telling of such a cool year, and is married with bright cherries and raspberry alongside complex hints of liquorice, chicory and cured meats. The tannins are fine and delicate, and the acidity alike.

Very deep dark red black colour with a dark to brick red hue. Very herby and smoky the nose has dried herb scents overlaying some meatiness, red liquorice, smoky earth and bell pepper notes. Supple and mid weighted the palate features spicy plum and red liquorice flavours infused with dried clove which are followed by some smoky earth, black olive and bell pepper characters. Slightly dryish finish with polished tannins and a savoury medium length aftertaste. Drink over the next 3-4 years. Alc. 13%

Clonakilla Riesling is an unsung hero of Tim Kirk's stable of beautiful wines. Herbal with white flowers aromas with citrus and stone fruit bouquet, it has a clean, ripe fruit and zesty finish.

Kooyong Clonale Chardonnay has a complex nose with citrus varietal aromas meshed with classy oak. Seamless and creamy on the palate with long, fine cool-climate flavours. Another cracking wine from Sandro Mosele that just oozes quality.

From the highly regarded wine making team at Pierro comes this more than worthy second label. Expressive red berry characters on the nose are intermingled with nuances of blood plum, and on the palate these flavours are underpinned by subtle oak.

Yalumba continue to produce amazing quality, premium wines for a fraction of the price they could demand. The Menzies is prime example with rich, blackcurrant and cassis fruit with integrated oak that fills the mouth.
