Vineyard - A dry spring, with consistent summer rain, generated a early harvest of perfect bunches with flawless berries. Wine - A bouquet of roses and violets, in a tobacco box........and then all of those lovely Nebbiolo characteristics flow across the palate, cherry, earthy, spicy, tannins. We hit the bullseye with this one!

This Shiraz is deep, generous and well balanced. It has a smooth, supple but rich and powerful palate. It has shy blackberry and blackcurrant aromas with a whiff of liquorice and aniseed combined with a very savoury palate and hints of oak spice. It has a seasoning of well-integrated French oak that is perfectly balanced with fruit that is well able to handle it.

FIGHTING GULLY ROAD La Longa Sangiovese, Beechworth

Occasionally, when rare parcels of particularly outstanding Beechworth grapes become available, Savaterre's wine maker Keppell Smith likes to create something unique, like this Pinot Noir, and bottle it under Savaterre's Frere Cadet (Younger Brother) label. These wines are created with the same attention to detail that goes into their premium Savaterre label.

A distinctly lighter and more savoury style with a wonderful lifted aroma of red fruit and dried herbs. Well balanced with lively acidity and fruit coupled with just a hint of oak.

The Chambers family have been making fortified wines in the world famous region of Rutherglen for more than six generations and it shows. Some of the finest, not to mention affordable, fortifieds being produced anywhere in the world. A true Australian icon.

“Still youthful and drinking exceptionally well, these bottles are worth seeking out for a chance to taste Cabernet at its developing best, but with at least another ten years to go: loads of vibrant primary blackcurrant/cassis fruit, secondary vanilla oak and tertiary flavours of leather and forest floor. Dreamy.” – Melissa Moore, Sommelier. These rare bottles are closed with the original ‘Gundowringla’ cork of our parents’ label and each bottle is individually hand-dipped in wax by Brendan. The 2002 Heritage Release Cabernet Sauvignon was Mark’s first ever vintage at Gundowring. We rediscovered a small quantity of these bottles while moving stock and having sampled several bottles were delighted that they are drinking exceptionally well, with fresh fruit balanced by soft tannins. With Trudi and Ian’s blessing we’ve labeled them under the Elura label. FOOD & WINE MATCHING Elura’s 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon is a food wine ideally complements rich and bold red meat flavours, hearty casseroles or cured meats. Best decanted. CELLARING With 20+ years in cellar already, this Heritage Release Cabernet Sauvignon is drinking well now and has cellaring potential of another 10+ years.

A sparkling Shiraz rosé which rested on lees for four years before disgorgement and with a minimal dosage of only one gram. It smells of strawberries and cherries but with an underlying sense of savoury dried herbs. In the mouth it is both ripe and textural with the merest hint of tannin.
