Borgo SanLeo Chianti
Blended from the mainstay Tuscan grape variety Sangiovese and a small amount of Canaiolo, this savoury, flavoursome wine is the perfect companion for antipasto and soups.
Margan Shiraz
A wonderful example of Hunter Shiraz. Ripe berries and spice with a touch of leather on the nose and a beautifully integrated palate showing plenty of juicy fruit flavour in a subtle well balanced style.
Mr Mick Rosé
This Mr Mick Rosé is very close to the Tuscan style of rosé, with the alluring complexity of bright red fruits that lingers on the palate before a cleansing, dry finish with fresh acidity at the end. This beautiful rosé is a great match with most Asian cuisine, or with any dishes that has has a little spiciness.
Mitolo Jester Shiraz
Intense, textured and showing pure fruit flavours, Jester Shiraz is considered Mitolo's baby G.A.M Shiraz using the same barrels in which the G.A.M was previously aged in. The palate is full of bright, red berry flavours, a subtle herbal character and an overall savoury quality to the finish. Made to be upfront and approachable for early appreciation, the Jester Shiraz delivers excellent quality for the price.
Hoddles Creek Wickhams Road Pinot Noir
Gippsland Pinot Noir from Franco dAnna. His sold out 1er Pinot entered Langton's Classification VII last year and his second tier wines sold out in record time. Wickhams Road is his value label that produces what Gary Walsh describes as 'a gift to Pinot Noir drinkers.' This is simply good drinking Pinot. As this is from Gippsland, you can expect a more fruit-forward Pinot. But there is also complexity, a savoury finish and really good acid making it such a drinkable drop. Before we go too far, lets not for a minute compare this wine with the greats of Gippsland. Its simply not one of those wines. Its for drinking and enjoying now.
Bellvale Pinot Noir
Dark red in colour with black shaded edges and a red to dark red hue. Springing out of the glass with a perfumed like intensity are alluring scents of violets, cherries and strawberries which are followed by hints of rhubarb, forest floor and dried herbs. Delicious ripe cherry, rhubarb and strawberry fruits infused with a mix of brambly stalk and spicy dried herb characters are layered across what is a very supple and expansive palate. Subtle forest floor and cedar elements are also evident. Excellent power and intensity combine with silky smooth tannins to form a long, rich and highly moreish finish. Drink over the next 3-4 years. Alc. 13%
Whitebox Shiraz
Whitebox Shiraz has aromas of dark fruit, spice and leather that leads into a palate of blackberries and cedar. The fruit sweetness is balanced by firm acid and fine tannins. A great example of Heathcote Shiraz from a favourite of Dan Murphy's customers over the years.
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!
David Hook Barbera
What the Hunter Valley and David Hook does so very well - meduim bodied reds that have good savoury length and nice integrated tannins.
Blue Pyrenees Merlot
The Victorian Pyrenees region is one of the few regions in Australia capable of producing consistent and distinctive high quality Merlot. Produced from selected parcels of fruit from their estate vineyard, this Merlot shows definitive varietal and regional character: medium-bodied in weight with a vibrant mouthful of bright fruit flavours, supported by a firm structure of fine grain tannins.
