Castagna La Chiave Sangiovese
The nose is of blackberries, raspberry, sour black cherries with notes of chocolate and just a hint of truffle. In the mouth there are lovely cedary tannins with beautiful fruit which speaks of bright raspberries slightly caramelised apple and chocolate.
Castagna Un Segreto Sangiovese Syrah
In the glass: Deep garnet crimson.On the nose: Exotic aromas of succulent red and black cherry, woody herbs, brown spice, earth and smokey oak.On the palate: Beautifully rich yet not sweet with a layered and elegant core of bramble fruit, dried herbs and fine tannin depth. So savoury, long and elegant with a delicious mix of secondary leather, tobacco and primary fruit richness blending seamlessley. A wine of character and brooding complexity.
Route du Van King Valley Dolcetto Shiraz
Our dolcetto shiraz is a racy wine with sweet fruit, bright and lively with long acid finish, and light but firm tannins. This will give your salami and cheese platter, a fine run for its money.
De Bortoli Rutherglen Estate Durif
Durif originated in the Rhône Valley of France, but has been grown in Rutherglen for over a century. Its a variety that tends to make rather bold wines, like this beauty! Deep red black. Super-rich black cherry cola with iodine and prune. Palate equally intense with lashings of inky dark plum, prune and dark cherry, satiny and rounded mouthfeel, espresso-like tannins and plenty of charry oak. Sweet, rich and ripe.
St Leonards Vineyard Cabernet Franc
A distinctly lighter and more savoury style with a wonderful lifted aroma of red fruit and dried herbs. Well balanced with lively acidity and fruit coupled with just a hint of oak.
Warner Vineyard "The Rest" Shiraz
Produced using equal portions of whole bunch and destemmed fruit along with indigenous yeasts and minimalist wine making techniques of pump overs and aerations reducing to irregular pumch down in a combination of new and aged French oak. MLF was undertaken in barrel and the wine was left on full lees for approx. 14 months before racking and bottling unfiltered and unfinned.
Pizzini Nebbiolo
Classically pale in the glass, Nebbiolo is a deceptive and beautiful wine by Pizzini. The nose is all allure and seduction with classic, deep rose petal perfume, plenty of anise-scented spice and bright red fruits. The palate's deep, juicy and mouth-filling red cherry and plum flavours run on sturdy tannins, laced with liquorice and finishing bright.
Fighting Gully Road Rose
Crisp and fresh acidity are the hallmarks of this Fighting Gully Road Rose that is made from Sangiovese grapes. It is barrel fermented and aged on lees, making this wine with a deliciously savoury dry finish.
Michelini Marzemino
Match with foods with tomato base such as pasta or pizza to complement the fruit acidity and savoury flavours. Grown in our Buckland Valley vineyards and not often found in Australia - worth a try!
