Château Larcis Ducasse 1er Grand Cru Classé (B), St-Emilion Château Larcis Ducasse, situated on the Right Bank of the Gironde, is ranked 1er Grand Cru Classé B in the 2012 Classification of Saint-Émilion wine. Long before there was a Château Larcis Ducasse, vines were tended on the land by the Romans. Through the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, the wine was highly regarded and premiums were paid even then. The most recent chapter in the story of Château Larcis Ducasse begins in the late 19th century when Henri Raba purchased the vineyard. Since then, ownership has passed through several generations and today is in the control of the Gratiot Alphandéry family. While the underlying quality and potential remained, the Château had somewhat fallen out of favour in the latter part of the 20th century. Since 2002, there has been something of a reversal of fortunes with the winery being under the management of Nicolas Thienpont. After 10 years under his watchful eye, the Château was promoted to 1er Grand Cru Classé B in the 2012 Saint-Émilion classification.

Moss Wood is one of the oldest Margaret River wineries and has an enviable reputation for high quality, stylish wines that are true to place. Arguably one of the country's top ten Chardonnays, this is a wine that demonstrates finesse and elegance in equal proportions to intensity and power. Fantastically bold yet classicly proportioned, this is a wine to be savoured with fine fare and great friends.

Château Gloria is the lifes work of Henri Martin, who's Cabernet based wines are very individualistic. The Château has never joined the Syndicat des Crus Bourgeois. This allows Henri to be a little more creative and produce wines of great concentration for prices that are easily approachable. The 2008 is a great example of the Château Gloria style and has been rated 90 points by Robert Parker Jnr.

The Woodlands Margaret is, true to its name, a realisation of all that is great about Margaret River, arguably Australias home of the Bordeaux style. Sourced from the Woodlands Vineyards in Wilyabrup this is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 8% Malbec. Considering the price of the Watson familys flagship, the Margaret offers truly outstanding value.

The fruit was tenderly harvested from select rows from our best Cabernet Sauvignon block and processed into red fermenters where they are gently pumped over three times a day during fermentation to maximize colour extraction. Medium to full bodied wine with elegant, well integrated red berry and black currant fruit fill the palate, followed by a succulent, fleshy but firm tannin structure.

Still very youthful, the quality French oak riding high in the saddle. This is a wine of excellent quality, ticking every box. Its texture and balance are admirable, the varietal character likewise.

Nautica Shiraz has been crafted exclusively from delicious, handpicked berries grown in mineral rich soils of a selected sea of vines. Experience a nose of pronounced dark forest fruits, white pepper and smokey oak. With a palate of luscious black forest cake, earthy notes, and a long dark chocolate smokey finish.

Intertwining aromas and flavours of rhubarb, sour cherries, and smokey herbal spice excite the senses and deliver surprise. Harvested from a small block in Frankland River, the Nautica Cabernet is unfined and a true expression typical of the elegant approachable tannin of this cool climate region.
