Mercer Wines Montepulciano
Mercer Wine's Montepulciano from the Central Ranges showcases remarkable promise. Abundant sunshine during the growing season has contributed to optimal ripening, resulting in an exceptional depth of fruit flavors. Expressive notes of ripe red berries and subtle spice underscore the wine's profile, promising a vintage of distinct character and punch.
Coriole Montepulciano
Matured for 14 months in French oak hogsheads. Dense black as night heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Pronounced ripe black cherry, dark plum and liquorice scents take form followed by some vanillin cedar, earth and spicy dried herb notes. Rich fleshy dark cherry and plum fruits overlay a liquorice, vanillin earth, spice and fresh Mediterranean herb back drop. Polished tannin structure with a ripe slightly rustic feel to the medium length finish. Drink over the next 3-4 years. Alc. 13.8%
Jip Jip Rocks Shiraz
The Bryson Family vineyard produces superb fruit in the heart of South Australia, which is then handcrafted by winemaker Ben Riggs. Jip Jip Rocks Shiraz is an explosion of ripe dark berry fruits on the palate. Full bodied and ready to go this wine certainly delivers in spades.
Carpineto Spolverino
Carpineto Spolverino (Feather Duster) is an exciting Sangiovese blend from Chianti that pokes a little fun at the traditional Italian wine laws which prohibit a wine being labelled 'Chianti Classico' being bottled under screw-cap. As we love our wines to be fresh and vibrant in Australia, this brilliant (and affordable!) Chianti, closed with a Stelvin Lux, has enticing red cherry aromas blended with a touch of tobacco leaf and spice. Wonderfully medium-bodied, the palate is rich and generous, although supported by that typical Tuscan structure of zippy acid and soft, powdery tannin. Saluté!

i Lauri AVALOS Pecorino d'Abruzzo DOC
The 2023 i Lauri AVALOS Pecorino d'Abruzzo DOC is a stunning representation of the terroir of Abruzzo, Italy. On the nose, delicate aromas of ripe peach, apricot, and honeydew melon mingle with hints of wildflowers and a subtle minerality. The wine's light straw color is a nod to its crisp and refreshing palate, which is bursting with flavors of juicy citrus, green apple, and a touch of saline. The lively acidity and medium body make for a well-balanced and elegant wine, with a lingering finish that leaves a pleasant, slightly nutty aftertaste. This vintage showcases the skilled winemaking of i Lauri, highlighting the unique characteristics of Pecorino grapes grown in this region. Enjoy this wine with fresh seafood or creamy pasta dishes to fully experience its complex layers of flavors.
