Quealy Lina Lool
This is named after the aromatic compounds stored in the skins of Moscato Giallo. This is a blend of Friulano (45%), Riesling (26%), Moscato Giallo (19%) and Malvasia Istriana (7%), all from Quealys Balnarring home block. The grapes were added to a rolling ferment (as they were harvested) to open-top amphorae, and the wine spent six months on skins. It was then basket-pressed, roughly settled and allowed to mature in old French puncheons before being bottled 12 months later.

David Hook Orange Vermentino
Vermentino is widely planted throughout the Mediterranean, often along the shore lines of both coasts and islands, where it produces bright clean lively wines with classic sea spray and wild herb characters. The variety has good acidity and can be made in several styles. The lighter aromatic style achieved with light pressing and cool fermentations generally without skin contact or oak maturation highlights the varieties fresh fruit and acidity. The grapes for our 2022 Vermentino are frome the Central Ranges grown at altitude on the slopes of Mount Canobolas at Orange. The wine was stored on lees in tank for 3 months prior to bottling. The resulting wine is pale straw in colour with slight green tinges. It has aromas of orange blossom, ripe nashi and a flinty background. The palate is rich with ripe citrus flavour and the wine finishes with a touch of salinity and a slight pithy grapefruit bitterness. The perfect wine with grilled sardines.

David Hook Hunter Valley Pecorino
The love affair with alternative Italian varietals continues at David Hook wines. Pecorino is a new arrival, but it was well worth the wait. So latent yet complex.Pale lemon. Fresh and lifted aromas of citrus, stonefruit and stuck match. Quite rich, ripe and fruit-driven, with layers of white peach and melon, tangy lemon-lime acidity, creamy mouthfeel and texture, and a dry, mouth-watering finish.
Torbreck Juveniles Blanc
Immediately appealing aromas of tropical fruits such as guava, kaffir lime and green mango against a more restrained nashi pear note. The exotic fruit profile intermingles with Asian spices such as lemongrass and pickled Japanese ginger. The palate’s medium weight demonstrates a lightness and deft touch, with long acidity and acute fruit flavours. The mineral like acidity shines through with a saline and seashell freshness.
