Lana's Bike Riesling
Beautifully structured with enticing aromas of citrus blossom and perfume. A complex palate showing flavours of lemon and lime with a crisp and fresh finish.
30 Mile Riesling
This gorgeously refreshing white is made by the talented John Quarisa, who – aside from winning a coveted Jimmy Watson Trophy – has enjoyed a “distinguished career as a winemaker spanning over 20 years” (Halliday). John likes his wines to express big personality, juicy fruit and value for money. They also have a magic knack of winning Gold – often several times over! Mouthwateringly fresh and bursting with citrus. Lemon and lime run across the palate, with subtle green apple hints. This Gold winner would happily pair with a platter of fresh prawns.
Jacob's Creek Unvined Riesling
Two Churches The Preacher Riesling
A vibrant lemon-green colour with aromas of lemon, acacia, and wild thyme. The wine generously flows through the palate with flavours of orchard petals and bright citrus. A perfect partner for light fish dishes and fresh salads. When the first German immigrants arrived in South Australia they brought with them their culture, religion and a hard work ethic. They established vineyards and built a church to house their faith. However, the priests disagreed on most things. In an attempt to stop their quarrelling two separate churches were built. The original poachers might not have seen eye to eye, and these days we still have our differences, but one thing we all agree on is South Australia's reputation to grow world class wine.
Skillogalee Riesling
Lush, almost tropical aromas of pineapple, bananas and melon - the palate exhibits steely minerally flavours without being overly acidic. An excellent advertisement for Clare Riesling.
Banrock Station Sauvignon Blanc
Banrock Station continue to be champions of bringing bottle quality wines into their 2L casks. This fragrant and aromatic Sauvignon Blanc is bursting with natural tropical fruit aromas and flavours and a hint of herbaceousness. There is a nice crisp finish to what is a delightful value-for-money Sauv.
Mockingbird Hill Clare Valley Shiraz
Made from premium fruit grown in some of the valley's best vineyards, this stunning wine from Mockingbird Hill is loaded with ripe plum and blackberry fruit flavours. If you like premium Clare Valley Shiraz like those from Leasingham and Taylors, you'll love this.
Mockingbird Hill Clare Valley Riesling
Riesling is the most important grape for the Clare region and the Clare examples are some of the best the country produces. This is a beautiful example displaying excellent fruit definition with the typical lime, citrus peel and talc notes and is another classic in the making.
The Crafty Punter Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Produced by the iconic winemaker Neil Pike in acknowledgement of Neil's legendary father, Edgar Pike this elegant wine full of delicious blackcurrant, mint, and cedar flavours. Its fine grained tannins and balanced oak characters lend to the excellent lingering finish. Ideal match to marinated lamb or a gourmet beef burger.
