Here's a cracking secret Santa Christmas idea, a Kraken Party Bon Bon. Just pull each end like a normal bon bon and out pops....a little 50mL bottle of Kraken spiced Rum.

Lifted aromas of chocolate and dark cherries are complemented by a richly flavoured palate of spicy, ripe plum and forest fruits. With supple tannins and excellent length, this wine drinks beautifully now and will reward patient cellaring. The perfect accompaniment to sirloin steak and mushroom sauce or aged cheddar. When the first German immigrants arrived in South Australia, they brought with them their culture, religion, and a hard work ethic. They established vineyards and built a church to house their faith in a small town. However, the two priests disagreed on most things. In an attempt to stop their quarrelling two separate churches were built. The original preachers might not have seen eye to eye, and these days we still have our differences, but one thing we all agree on is South Australia’s reputation to grow world class wine.

Renowned for full bodied Shiraz, this South Australian wine won't disappoint. Two Churches is full of plum and spice leading to a warm finish that is well-rounded and makes for very enjoyable drinking. A great match with roasted lamb or mushroom risotto.

Jules Taylor is one of the leading boutique producers in Marlborough and well worth seeking out, crafting an exceptional range of aromatic whites together with Pinot Noir. It's little surprise that her Sauvignon Blanc shines, with its pristine and delicate mineral drive backed up with some fresh green herb and tropical notes. Crisp, dry and very Moorish.

Bingtanbok is a sparkling raspberry fruit wine with aromas of sweet and fresh raspberries and a bubbly textured palate of refreshing subtle sweetness balanced by berry acidity. Its a drink for fun and celebration. Serve it in champagne flutes.

Pale straw with a green tinge. Restrained bouquet of tropical fruits with citrus overtones and subtle nutty aromas derived from barrel fermentation. Abundant guava and white peach, vanilla and a mineral edge, with oak adding texture to the mid palate. Acidity adding precision, focus and length. Fermented and matured for 8 months in 100% French oak barriques (15% new), cellar over the next 4 years.

Tintara from South Australia's McLaren Vale represents both history and innovation in McLaren Vale. With a heritage that dates back to 1861 and with a vision to produce contemporary wines, the result are red wines like this Tintara Cabernet Sauvignon. Full of life and vigour with the typical regional chocolate and mocha characters, this McLaren Vale Cab is a perfect little cellar starter or great paired with lamb shanks.
