Rosby Wines Shiraz
Brilliant colour, dense red right to the edge. Sweet, blackberry and mulberry nose highlighted with French Oak. Fruit, wood, alcohol and tannins are combining for a wonderful long finish. Medium bodied, will only get better with time. In balance now, but it would be a shame to drink it too soon – 2018 onwards.
Leeuwin Estate Siblings Sauvignon Blanc
Blend of two-thirds Sauvignon Blanc and one-third Semillon gets a touch of barrel aging, reflected in its silky texture more than any overt aromas or flavours. The palate is fruit-forward, offering hints of citrus, under ripe nectarine and green apple, finishing long and mouth-watering. Overall a youthful and vibrant blend.
Azulejo Albariño
Azulejos (tiles in English) are a quintessential part of Spanish art, just as wine. Each region in Spain has its own distinct style of producing the azulejos. With this collection of wines we pair the most attractive and trendiest wine regions with a particular azulejo style, using a modern approach that results in a pairing that brings out the best qualities of both.

Vinifera Wines Organic Mudgee Chardonnay
Early spring rain and a cool growing season has resulted in this lovely lighter style with fresh white peach and citrus characters. Light French oak contact adds texture.
Highgate Organic Shiraz
Papagiannakos Retsina
Retsina hails from the hills of Attica and Central Greece and was traditionally made from the Savatiano grape variety. Vassilis Papagiannakos has taken it upon himself to raise the profile of this much-maligned style of wine. He does this by sourcing fruit from old, well-sited Savatiano vineyards. He then adds very controlled amounts of pine resin during a temperature controlled fermentation to ensure a delicate and well integrated blend of flavours and complexity.
Robert Stein Mudgee Shiraz

Robert Stein Mudgee Cabernet Sauvignon
A wine with distinct regional characters, Robert Stein Cabernet Sauvignon has core blackcurrant fruits and earthiness aromas on the nose. The deliciously ripe forest fruits and sweet spice fills the palate and the structured acidity and the grainy tannins add to a lengthy finish.

A classic Aussie take on northern Rhône Syrah, with spicy herbal notes, this award-winning Shiraz is perfect for drinking now.
