Everyone loves good Rioja. Now take a step up to Reserva level. This is from the 2012 vintage, officially classified as ‘very good’. It was aged for at least a year in barrel and two in bottle to produce a Rioja of perfect balance and depth. Pagos de Tahola comes from the Chavarri family – Francisco and daughter Ruth form a winning partnership with winemaker Miguel Lopez Nuñez. Their exemplary wines are based on exuberant fruit harvested from mature vines in some of Rioja’s highest vineyards then infused with the signature fragrance of quality French and US oak. Rich aromas of dried berries and vanilla, hallmark red berry and sweet spice flavours and silky texture – impressively smooth. Serve with Spanish style rice dishes or grilled meats.

Made with Nero D'Avola, the Premium red grape of Sicily, grown in our Piccadilly Valley, Adelaide Hills Vineyard and produced in hand made terracotta Amphorae used centuries ago

A delicate and celebratory wine all the way from the finest grapes of Freixenet, Italy, Freixenet Prosecco NV is a mix of fresh and fruity. Subtle fragrances of flower, citrus and apple complement an equally light palate that is perfect for just about any occasion.

Fine and polished nose - floral, figgy and gently meaty, its a delicate and perfectly varietal expression of Monastrell. Soft, wide tannins start the mouth off and a long rool of ripe acid in the back half really straightens things out. Almuvedre has long been one of the bargain wines of the world and the style-quality-value amalgam continues to boggle the mind.

Blood-red colour, with a strong flavour and distinct aromas. Aged 12 months in French oak barrels. Open 15 minutes before serving to bring out the aromas. Pair with winter-time dishes, grilled meats, stews and spicy cheeses.

Featuring a pale and attractive pink hue, the bouquet is refreshing with notes of raspberry, citrus and some floral notes. Mouth-filling and with a good depth it also has a fine light minerality balanced by a body. Pleasant light aromatic after taste. Great example of wine that matches elegance with freshness. Enjoy it with salads, white meats, fish and shell fish or on its own as an “aperitivo”.

Back in 2017 I was intrigued to see if my theory about certain varieties from warm-climate dry-grown vineyards are ideal for light-bodied red wines, even to be enjoyed with a bit of a chill on it! That ended up being one of my most successful wines, so in 2022 I made my fourth wine from Nero d’Avola grown by the Chalmers family at their Merbein vineyard. Fruit was hand-picked then transported in a refrigerated truck and delivered to the winery the next day. It was de-stemmed and sat on skins for only five days which accounted for the majority of fermentation. Once pressed it completed its fermentation in a stainless-steel tank, then was transferred to mature French oak puncheons (500L). After spending six months in barrel the wine was racked and blended, then bottled in November 2022.
