The Ethereal One Fleurieu Nero D'Avola
The Ethereal One celebrates wines with ethereal qualities - so delicious and graceful in style they seem not to be of this world. This blend from Fleurieu and Adelaide Hills with bright ruby red and violet hues is medium bodied, dominated by fruit aromas of cherries and red currants with savoury notes of baked quince and dried herbs.
Wynns Shiraz
Wynns Shiraz continues to be one of Australia's affordable favourites. Tucked away in the cellar of many budding wine collectors, Wynns Shiraz has all the structure and pedigree of some of its higher priced brothers and sisters. Rich varietal characters of plum, spice and pepper are woven through the minty regional notes and framed by fine, firm tannins.
Balliamo Nero d'Avola
Indigenous Sicilian Nero d'avola grapes are harvested in the third week in September and fermented over 3 weeks. The wine is then aged for 12 months. It is dry with a nicely structured flavour and roundness. The flavours are reminiscent of alcohol preserved cherries highlighted by lovely lingering spices.
Riddoch Merlot
John Riddoch is not only a famous name in the region of Coonawarra, but an important figure in the Australian wine industry. His pioneering spirit and love of the region has been translated into this bottle of rich and smooth Coonawarra Merlot. Aromas and flavours of ripe plums, dense blueberry and a fine grain tannin structure to support. A welcome return from a highly regarded wine name that won't disappoint if opened today or cellared for the short to medium term.
Chalmers Nero d'Avola
The Chalmers familys commitment to innovation and excellence has made them a pivotal force in the Australian wine scene for over 20 years. The Chalmers Nero dAvola is deliberately made in a drink-young, lifted red-fruit style reminiscent of the Cerasuolo wines of Vittoria. This wine shows a vibrant fruits-of-the-forest and blueberry nose with pretty rosehip aromatics. The medium-bodied palate marries savoury boysenberry fruit with chalky tannins, sweet spice and just a touch of blood orange.
St Erth Pinot Noir
Lovers of Pinot Noir are among the most passionate bunch of wine enthusiasts there are. Each wine tells a story which is what gets us Pinot lovers hearts racing! St Erth is a single site Pinot Noir from the Moorabool sub-region of Geelong. As part of the circle of great Pinot Noir regions that surround Port Phillip Bay, this Geelong Pinot Noir delivers an aromatic and evocative style that belies its price tag that would normally have you paying far more!
Majella Shiraz
Consistency has been the hallmark of Majella Shiraz for some time now. Ripe fresh raspberry and mulberry fruit is supported by fine tannins and subtle oak.
Villaggio Nero d'Avola
They say Italians do it better! See for yourself with the Villaggio Nero d'Avola, a red blend with a medium body and smooth texture. A great wine to pair with all cuisines and enjoy the flavours of red berries, spice and sweet cherries.
Pizzini Sangiovese
Fred Pizzini grew up in Italy and is bringing the taste of his homeland to the Australian dining table. His Sangiovese is one of the best examples in the country, with spicy, savoury fruit hiding a vein of mouth watering acid that is a hallmark of the variety. Delicious now - and will get better with bottle age!
