Brown Brothers Patricia Chardonnay is an elegant style balancing natural acidity with intense fruit flavour. Named in honour of Patricia Brown, the fruit for this exceptional white wine consists of 57% from the Brown Brothers Whitlands vineyard and the balance from Coombe Farm vineyard located in the Yarra Valley. The Yarra Valley experiences cool ripening conditions just like the Whitlands vineyard. The vineyard selection contributes to a tight style with wonderful fig and mealy characters typical of a cool climate Chardonnay.

Peter Graham worked at Beechworth icon, Giaconda for 13 years. Now out on his own, this new venture not only shows his skillful winemaking but captures the essence of the region and the reason its so renowned. Balanced, peppery, has good power and lots of smoky, meaty tannin, showing blueberries, blackberried and black cherries.

This is not your average rosé. Handpicked from painstakingly managed 20-year-old Shiraz vines, the fruit was crushed and sent directly to tank to preserve the character of the wine. Fleeting contact with skins rewards with gorgeous colour and crunch. A cooler ferment keeps it bright, before ageing in old French oak for an element of savouriness.

The Margan Ceres Hill Barbera 2021 shows typical rhubarb and spice on the nose, this vineyard produces a level of consistency that few others do. Savory spice on the palate provides regional typicity and bright red fruits and crunchy acidity give varietal structure and define the wine more so than tannins and richness.

Each Dal Zotto wine is the blend of three elements - family, tradition and innovation - with one overarching philosophy - your origins are just as important as your future. The Dal Zotto philosophy begins with what is closest to our hearts - family. From rural life in Italy, to settling in the King Valley, to pioneering Italian grape varieties, the journey has been a shared one. Along the way, from the good times at the table to our appetite for discovery in the vineyard and winery, it is "La Famiglia" that has brought it all together.

Gian Luca’s new (NU) wine is an early bottled, fruity, juicy blend of all his grapes that do not make it into his varietal wines. It is bottled in 1L bottles and sealed under crown cap rather than cork. The style is one of accessibility and charm, with a classic Piedmont profile of brambly dark fruits and freshness.

From the marriage of the Queen and King of the Langhe, Barbera and Nebbiolo, comes Lautus, a wine of extreme finesse and nobility, destined for a long life. Lautus, from the Latin “elegant, distinguished,” embodies the best characteristics of the two grape varieties that make it up: the intense ruby and softness of Barbera are complemented by the austere and tannic trait of Nebbiolo, to give it structure and longevity. Lautus is the expression of two opposite characters that meet and complement each other in a relationship of perfect balance.

The Porta Rossa Barbera D'Asti DOC 2021 is a stunning representation of the Barbera grape from the Piedmont region of Italy. Deep ruby in color, this wine presents a bouquet of ripe dark berries, plums, and a hint of spice on the nose. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a smooth and velvety texture, showcasing vibrant flavors of black cherry, raspberry, and a touch of black pepper. The tannins are well-integrated and the acidity provides a refreshing balance to the fruit-forward profile. The finish is lingering, with a touch of tobacco and a subtle minerality that adds complexity. This vintage, produced by the esteemed Piccini winery, is a true delight for the senses and a perfect pairing for hearty Italian dishes. Enjoy now, or cellar for a few years to enhance its already impressive layers of flavor.

Boroli Barbera d’Alba Langhe DOC is the estate’s take on Barbera in its pure, everyday guise, drawn from hillside vineyards around Alba that sit on classic clay-limestone soils with good exposure and ventilation. The fruit is picked by hand, fermented in stainless steel and then given a short maturation in large French oak (typically around six months), a regime that polishes texture while keeping Barbera’s natural freshness front and centre. In the glass, recent releases show bright ruby colour and aromas of red cherry, raspberry and blackberry compote with hints of violet, sweet spice and a gentle earthy undertone, carried by soft tannins and vibrant acidity. It is a supple, medium-bodied Barbera built for early drinking, offering plenty of fruit and regional character without heaviness and sitting neatly alongside Boroli’s more structured Nebbiolo and Barolo wines.
