d'Arenberg The Noble Bortyotinia Fuckeliana Sauvignon Blanc
The 2024 vintage of d'Arenberg's The Noble Bortyotinia Fuckeliana Sauvignon Blanc from McLaren Vale is a stunning representation of South Australian winemaking. The wine is a beautiful pale yellow in colour, with delicate aromas of passionfruit, green apple, and freshly cut grass. On the palate, the wine bursts with flavours of ripe tropical fruits, balanced by a crisp acidity and subtle minerality. This Sauvignon Blanc is made from the rare Fuckeliana grape, which adds a unique depth and complexity to the wine. It is then aged in French oak barrels, adding a creamy texture and subtle hints of vanilla. The result is a luscious and well-rounded wine, perfect for enjoying on a warm summer day or pairing with seafood dishes. This vintage is a true testament to d'Arenberg's dedication to producing exceptional wines from the McLaren Vale region.
Serafino Bellissimo Nebbiolo
Sherrah Petillant Naturel
The Fiano comes from two vineyards in McLaren Vale grown by Ben Lacey. One in the Tatachilla sub region of southern McLaren Vale. Only a few kilometres from the sea and almost at sea level, it is a cool maritime influenced area of the Vale. Sandy loam over a shattered limestone base, scattered with ironstone fragments. This parcel was fermented in stainless steel, using a combination of natural and mixed culture yeasts. The second vineyard is in the Northern and high-altitude region of Seaview in McLaren Vale, with thin red loam over a solid limestone geology. The grapes were harvested with a selective harvester and tipped straight into an open fermenters as whole berries. Fermentation was allowed to occur naturally and then later over seeded with aromatic yeast. The ferment was allowed to tick away slowly for approx. 3 weeks. The final blend was 60% cold tank ferment, 40% full skin contact for three weeks.

Mr Riggs Piebald Syrah
This wine, a Piebald, meaning black and white, is a co-fermentation of the blackest Syrah grapes, with a hatful of the purest white Viognier. Deep in colour, the wine is almost black, yet is also vibrant and bright. The nose is perfumed with apricots, spice and liquorice; a pretty, fragrant wine with a sweet juice and velvety palate. The finish is elegant with savoury spice and a fine tannin length and persistence.
