The Nugan family named this wine after their grandfather, founder and inspiration - Alfredo Nugan. When a young Alfredo emigrated from Spain in 1940, he had a clear vision of his familys new life in Australia. Today, his legacy sees the Nugan family established as one of Australias most successful agricultural enterprises. This wine is a tribute to his vision and the passion he instilled in us, his family, to pursue his ideals of outstanding quality and service. Both the Sangiovese and Merlot are sourced from our Frascas Lane Vineyard in Victorias cool climate King Valley.

De Bortoli Bella Riva Sangiovese flaunts a beautiful red colour when poured into a glass. The wine's bouquet is absolutely stunning with vibrant aromas of red berries, plums, bitter chocolate and earth. The palate is rich and lush with delightful flavours of red fruits, enhanced by excellent texture and a remarkable length. Enjoy this fascinating wine from King Valley with baked pasta, grilled red meats, or Italian spaghetti sauce with meatballs.

MICHELE CHIARLO, La Court Riserva, Barbera D'Asti Nizza DOCG

Lovely aromas of honeydew melon with slight hints of cucumber. Subtle herbaceous edge in addition to the full fruit flavours, leaving it perfectly balanced with respect to sweetness and acidity. This particular wine adds sparkle to any occasion.

In the glass: Very pale straw. On the nose: Pear, lemon, apple lift. On the palate: Very fresh and lively with a savoury mix of white fruit, a slightly nutty layer of complexity and a velvety mouth-feel.

This small family owned business uses methods passed down by the generations. A traditional dry red style, it is unfiltered and has no preservatives added.

The last few releases of Brown Brothers Patricia Cabernet Sauvignon have put this firmly on the map of Australian benchmark Cabernets. It's colour already a great indication of a wine with depth, along with the complex aromas of blackcurrant, dark fruits and well integrated oak. The ripe fruits are very concentrated on the palate with distinctive fine tannins, hints of sweet spice and a lingering finish. A fantastic vintage to enjoy now or careful cellaring for another 6 - 8 years.
