Ben Haines Everyday Series Amber
A lightly-structured amber wine breezing in at 10.8% abv, awash with sluicing acidity, explosive greengage/orchard fruits, cool herb and spice, and the subtle hum of deeper savoury notes.
Maretti Soave
A unique and alluring wine showcasing peach, honey dew and lemon citrus aromatics. The wine has both body and a light feel with citrus fruit, light florals, fresh acidity and a fine mineral edginess. Soave wines are terrific with food whilst this example has both purity, weight and freshness to also be lovely on its own.
J de la Roseray Rose Terres du Midi
Bright pink colour with an expressive nose of red fruits (redcurrant, raspberry) and floral notes. Crisp on the palate with intense red fruits aromas. The aftertaste is fruity and refreshing.
Bijou Terre de Providence Chardonnay
An elegant Southern French Chardonnay that combines volume and freshness. White flowers on the nose evolves into notes of citrus and white-fleshed fruits on the palate with a lingering mineral finish. A lovely accompaniment to white fish and pasta dishes. Best served slightly chilled.
Love Not War Organic Fiano
Clear, ripe and flavour-filled. A classic Fiano wine with citrus and floral scents that flow similarly to the palate along with mineral and chalk in a densely rich yet fresh white wine.
De Bortoli La Boheme Act Three Pinot Gris & Friends
The friends in this French Alsace style blend are 'aromatic varieties', probably riesling and gewurztraminer. The colour is pale, the bouquet is sweetly fragrant and floral. A dab of sweetness, full, rich and satisfying.
Choosy Beggars Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
Choosy Beggars rarely go for run-of-the-mill and try to avoid boring. True to their spirit, Choosy Beggars wines have huge personality, and are undoubtedly something out of the box. The Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, sourced from some of Margaret Rivers finest vineyards is fresh with wonderful flavours of intense passionfruit and citrus.
Hugel Pinot Blanc Classic
The first traces of the Hugel family in Alsace can be traced back to the XVth century. Some two centuries later, Hans Ulrich Hugel settled in Riquewihr, which had been devastated by the terrible Thirty Years War. In 1639 he was made a freeman of the city and soon took charge of the very powerful Corporation of Winegrowers. In 1672 his son built a fine house in the Rue des Cordiers, and over the doorway was carved the family crest which was the origin of the company’s logo still used today.
Louis De Camponac Pinot Noir
Vibrant ruby red colour with notes of small red fruits, spices and vanilla. The flavour is complex yet elegant with a smooth soft finish. Slightly chilled with grilled meats and cheeses.
Louis De Camponac Cabernet Sauvignon
The aroma is rich with flavours of ripe blackcurrant and savoury herbs. The flavour shows spice and vanilla oak with a smooth structure and silky finish. Related to the Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon grapes have a thick skin making them higher in tannins than varieties such as Pinot Noir. This grape is popular due to its ability to be grown in a range of soils and climates from Australia and abroad such as Coonawarra, Margaret River, France and Chile. As a result, Cabernet Sauvignon is a full bodied wine with flavours of blackberry, currant and cinnamon. It pairs well hearty red meats, winter stews and even rich chocolate desserts.
