Z Wine Rustica Shiraz
Z Wine's Rustica Shiraz is an intense crimson red with purple hues followed by aromas of ripe cherry and red plum which are complimented by hints of pepper and spice with lifted perfumed notes. The palate is warm and full flavoured, displaying generous sweet red fruit, such as cherry, raspberry and plum. These fruits are couple with cedar spice notes and the soft mouth-filling tannins carry the fruit as well as providing structure and length to the wine. This wine is an exemplary example of a lifted, fruit filled Barossa Shiraz suitable for drinking in its youth.
Notte Rossa Primitivo Salento
Made from the popular dark skinned local grape, primitivo, in the Salento region of Puglia, this wine impresses with deep, rich flavours of dark cherry, prunes and heady notes of rosemary, sweet spices and a vanilla undertone. A full-bodied, intense wine, soft and balanced, easy to drink.
Fantini Trebbiano D'Abruzzo
Illuminati Pecorino Controguerra
The vineyards that produced this appealing wine are situated near Controguerra, Abruzzo, at 250 metres altitude, inland from the Adriatic coast, halfway up the boot of Italy. The pecorino grape is not widely known in Australia. It is believed to be a native of the Marche region. The name may derive from the fact that the grapes were grown in hilly country, the same country that sheep were raised - pecora means "sheep" in Italian. Pecorino wine is easy going, with straw colouring, displaying distinct floral notes, minerality, field herbs, stonefruit and citrus. It is currently enjoying a surge of popularity in Italy and other parts of the world.

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.
