Red WineThis mature Adelaide Hills Shiraz is a delicious drop and a very rare wine. Being bottled under a stelvin enclosure thas really benefitted this wine and its ageing. In the glass, it is dark plum in colour with purple hues. A blackcurrant and pepper nose precedes tastes of plum, white pepper and wild black cherries. Excellent use of oak has integrated the soft tannin characters. A Rhone-style Shiraz that is drinking really well!

White WinePewsey Vale Vineyard The Contours is characterised by a special site, sensitive vine growing and astute winemaking. The Contours Riesling is produced from old vines grown on the coolest slope within this ruggedly beautiful single vineyard. After 13 years in the bottle, the 2007 Pewsey Vale Contours Riesling is showing all the poise and intensity that you would expect in a great bottle-aged Riesling.
Still pale straw with green hues. Intense classic fruit aromas of limes and lemons with fresh toast overlie the intense lime and citrus fruit. Citrus dominant, lime juice, hints of sage oil and marmalade, finishing with a crushed stone minerality. The wine is still vibrant and fresh, yet with richness and intensity from its 10 years in the bottle.
Red WineThis really is cracking wine from the Über Cool Mornington Peninsula. This Shiraz includes a 5% Viognier component and was matured for 15 months in a combination of new and used barriques.
The bouquet of this wine has spicy blackberry fruit combined with the subtle but distinctive aromatics of viognier. On the palate, the wine has plum/blackberry fruit flavours followed by some black pepper. Good length. Fine-grained tannins with long aftertaste of blackberry, liquorice and black pepper. An excellent cool-climate Shiraz.
Dessert WineAnybody who has tasted the sensational 1989 Doisy-Védrines will want to snap up the equally good 2007 in an instant. As well as being one of the sweetest wines of the vintage it is exceptionally elegant and well-balanced. The nose is marked by intense, icy-cool tropical citrus while the rich yet fresh palate has wonderfully pure, sweet creamy pineapple fruit, plenty of botrytis and fine balancing acidity. The finish is incredibly long and precise. Made from 95% Sémillon and 5% Sauvignon Blanc, this is a magically sensual Sauternes at an outstanding price.
Red WineThis beautifully aged single vineyard Châteauneuf-du-Pape is at its peak – we have done the work for you! Made from 45+ year old vines located to the south-east of the appellation, close to the commune of Courthézon. The terroir is composed by a variety of soils, which add complexity to the wine. A blend of Grenache (70%), Syrah (15%) and Mourvèdre (15%) the wine sees 10% new barrique and the rest in foudre.
“exhibits plenty of pepper, lavender, raspberry, black currant, and floral characteristics. Full-bodied with moderate tannin, superb depth and purity, and a broad, compelling, 40-second finish” Robert Parker.
Red WineA sexy, room-filling bouquet of black raspberry, boysenberry, potpourri and incense. Broad, palate-staining dark fruit flavors are impressively deep and pure, picking up violet and rose pastille character with air. A tangy graphite note builds on the finish and adds energy to the deep, seductively sweet fruit.
Red WineAt full maturity and drinking beautifully. Beguiling, rich and stays in the palate for an age. The grapes for this wine come from a large plot with the evocative name of “Les Champs au pied du Mont” (“The Fields at the Foot of the Mountain”), located on the slope overlooking the outskirts of Beaune. This vineyard, facing due east, produces both red and white wine. The Pinot Noir grapes in the lower part benefit from a very clayey soil that produces deeply-coloured, powerful wines. The high iron content in the soil often accounts for aromas reminiscent of soot or smoke.
