In the glass the 2014 Gruner Veltliner, (or GruVe as we like to call it) is very pale straw with fine green hue. The nose is lifted with a flinty minerality and a loaf of citrus (more fresh limes than lemons) with a subtle herby peppery and floral notes. Again the citrus is prevalent on the palate followed by a fine peppery note. The mouth watering acidity combines with the fruit and peppery notes to deliver a long and fresh finish. Drink now or until 2025 with careful cellaring.

Zonte's call this a "sexy, sassy, somewhat racy Vermentino that exudes so much character it just keeps you coming back for more..." Expect lovely green apple, starfruit, fresh lime and zesty grapefruit all wrapped up in a crisp zingy finish. This is delicious!

"Pale salmon pink in colour, this Rose is bursting with refreshing notes of ruby grapefruit and hints of orange blossom, with a texturalfinish that will make you want more."

92pt latest (2025) release of an Adelaide Hills pink sparkler that has been described in recent releases by the Halliday Companion as "among Australia's best… Confidently presented with complexity and poise… Runs fine, long and so impressive. All class" having offered "Exciting drinkability and sophistication all in one glass" and what's more, "It would be hard to find a more crowd-pleasing rosé fizz than this. It is delicious and elegant and sophisticated worthy of serious attention.– as Jane Faulkner said of this latest NV (2025 release) it is “very good rosé in anyone’s book” (Halliday).

Tucked away nicely in the Adelaide Hills, Sidewood Estate have made an art form out of crafting some of the very best single vineyard cool-climate wines available in Australia. Owen and Cassandra Inglis purchased the boutique property in 2004 and immediately set about making their vision become a reality. Their Sidewood Shiraz displays that vision to perfection. Attention to detail is the key here which enables flavours of red cherry, currants and dark plum to shine through along with hints of cinnamon and spice. The texture is beguiling and gives promise to a wine that will age for up to a decade.

"Faintly pinkish hue, as expected given some skin contact winemaking with this variety, as appears to be the case here. True to type aromas of brown-skinned pear and red-skinned apple with a savoury element providing some complexity. Clean and crisp on the palate, the sweetish fruit is well balanced by the acidity and a textural astringency which sits comfortably." 92 points, James Halliday Wine Companion, August 2017.

This elegant Pinot Gris features aromas of honeydew, pear, vanilla and orange blossom, as well as flavours of ginger spice, nashi pear, citrus and quince, all of which are balanced by a zesty acid line.
