Caravan Petite Sirah
The label is a treat (a tiny vintage caravan parked outside a grand French château) but the wine itself is what's really special here. Made by Jimmy Watson trophy-winning John Quarisa, it's a big, rich red with velvety tannins and a long, smooth finish. THREE Golds show that the show judges love it too. This is impressive stuff!

On the palate, rich red berries and brewed coffee make for a very appealing wine.

It’s airtight, economical and environmentally friendly.The Stubborn Few Pinot Noir is aromatic and has soft generous flavours of luscious red berries and lingering finish. Matches harmoniously with a creamy pasta dish. So kick back and raise a glass to thinking outside of the box.
Lindeman's Gentleman's Collection Cabernet Sauvignon
In 1843, Dr Lindeman, an upstanding man of formidable character, started his own winery. In doing so, he set his sights on civilising a colony of hard-drinking ruffians by introducing them to more gentlemanly pursuits, such as the enjoyment of a refined drop. This longheld tradition continues today with this handsome Cabernet Sauvignon, rich in blackcurrant and cassis, with a dash of fortified wine for a smooth finish. A fine wine by anyones standard.
