Jim Barry Lodge Hill Riesling
Jim Barry is a master of Riesling and this 2014 vintage won't disappoint. It opens with aromas of lifted spice, orange blossom and lime. This offers a huge volume of flavour of grapefruit, lime and spice, with a palate that exhibits great line and drive. There is a creaminess to the palate balanced by the crisp acidity on the finish.

O'Leary Walker Adelaide Hills Chardonnay
The Lane Estate Chardonnay
Riposte By Tim Knappstein Morningstar Chardonnay
Tim Knappstein brings six decades of Adelaide Hills expertise to the Riposte Morningstar Chardonnay. Sourced from cool-climate, high-altitude vineyards, whole-berry fruit ferments in French oak barriques with extended yeast lees maturation. The palate balances focused grapefruit and nectarine fruit against subtle nougat oak and a creamy mid-palate. Crisp natural acidity gives the wine drive and poise, delivering the distinction of benchmark Adelaide Hills Chardonnay at accessible value. It drinks brilliantly now and will reward cellaring over the next three to five years.
Paracombe Shiraz
High up in the Adelaide Hills, Paracombe is owned and operated by the Drogemuller family, which it has passionately done since 1983. Sourced from both estate and selected grower fruit, Paracombe Shiraz shows wonderful ripe fruit aromas with a delicate cool-climate aspect. Notes of cherries, plums, pepper and spice are notable along with a palate of layered spicy fruit and a fine tannin structure.
Shaw & Smith M3 Chardonnay
Sourced and grown in the Adelaide Hills, this is a fine example of how good Chardonnay from this region can be. This is a blend of 3 different cultivars of the Chardonnay grape. Bunch pressed and in part wild fermented. Partial malolactic fermentation imparts further complexity. A beautifully textured and complex wine.
Petaluma White Label Pinot Gris
Petaluma have access to some of South Australia's premier vineyard sites which are put to impressive use here with their White Label Pinot Gris. 100% sourced from the Adelaide Hills, yet four vineyards are used to create this delicious white; two in the Piccadilly Valley, one near Balhannah and one near Lenswood. Only the very best fruit was selected and left to ferment in older French barriques, the resulting wine has a classic cool-climate backbone with racy acidity and depth of flavour on the palate.
