De Bortoli Noble One Botrytis Semillon
The Noble One by De Bortoli is considered Australia's premier dessert wine, and for obvious reasons. The wine has won countless awards at the leading wine shows around the country and has a wonderful propensity to develop even further in the bottle. The 2002 Noble One is a classic expression of the style with rich apricot treacle characters with fig and orange blossom still active on the nose and palate. Hints of vanilla bean and a refreshing acidity on the finish mean this decade old wine will continue to live in the cellar for many years more.

Brezza Bianca Spumante Prosecco
We're always on the lookout for new high-quality Prosecco to slake the thirst of our enthusiastic Prosecco lovers. So, we were delighted when an old friend put us in contact with the Tombacco family. The estate was founded a century ago by Battista Tombacco, grandfather of current owners Cristian and Andrea. This Spumante is crafted from their estate-grown Glera grapes, gently pressed prior to a slow fermentation. Cristian then left the wine on its lees for 20 days for extra layers of creamy complexity to balance the citrus notes, before adding the sparkle. Enjoy tangy-fresh apple, lemon and tropical fruit and zesty citrus, carried on a wave of bubbles. Serve well chilled as an aperitif any time, at a celebration or with light dishes.

Il Poeta Barolo
Grape grower Natale Seghesio is known as 'il Poeta' ('the Poet') to his friends. Not only for his lyrical compositions (featured on the label), but also for the intensely flavoured produce of his vines, growing in the premium Piedmont hills. Talented winemaker Paolo Sartirano snaps up Natale's grapes every year, taking them to his family's cellar. Founded in 1871, this cellar is now 150 years old and today in the hands of the fourth generation. Paolo has crafted Il Poeta to be a truly poetical expression of the finest Nebbiolo. Three years ageing in oak ensures the fruit marries perfectly with silky, toasted spice character. Deeply flavoured and complex, the wine is best opened early and decanted. Serve in large glasses with hearty dishes.
Terra Felix Yarra Valley Pinot Noir
Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz
One of the benchmarks of Barossa Shiraz, Peter Lehmann's Stonewell is a classic example of the rich concentrated old vine style. While bold on the palate, there is always an inherent complexity to the Stonewell that enables it to be compared with all of the great Australian wines produced today.
Opi Malbec
RedHeads Vin’Atus
A mouthwatering beauty from the RedHeads Crew, inspired b Spain, made right here in Australia. A blend of Tempranillo, Grenache and Graciano, it's a lusciously big glassful of dark cherry, plum and raspberry fruit with smoky, toasty oak notes. Layered and complex ... a mouthfiling treat!
Caravan Petite Sirah
The label is a treat (a tiny vintage caravan parked outside a grand French château) but the wine itself is what's really special here. Made by Jimmy Watson trophy-winning John Quarisa, it's a big, rich red with velvety tannins and a long, smooth finish. THREE Golds show that the show judges love it too. This is impressive stuff!
