Maidenii Classic Vermouth
A collaboration between French winemaker Gille Lapalus and Australian bartender Shaun Byrne, Maidenii combines the best of both nations. The two men have worked carefully to capture the natural flavours - which include wormwood and wine sourced from Victoria.
De Bortoli Premium Old Tawny
For more than 20 years De Bortoli have offered bottle quality wines in the convenience of a cask. Here is the Old Tawny that is deep tawny brown in colour with a nose of complex mocha and rancio. The palate has an attractive nutty flavour with a complex aged complexity.
Brown Brothers Australian Tawny
Brown Brothers Australian Tawny is just the perfect partner to a night curled up in front of the fire as the nights get cooler. Dust off those port glasses and indulge yourself in one of the best value ports available in Australia!
De Bortoli Sacred Hill Old Tawny
Sienna amber in colour. Aromas of caramel and rancio, dried fruits and nut. Luscious with generous caramel, chocolate and raisin flavours, developed characters from the time spent maturing contributes complexity and depth. Sacred Hill has been aged on oak and is designed for current consumption but will keep in the bottle for several years.
Buller Premium Fine Muscat
Buller and Muscat have been inseparable for almost a century, and the reason is quite evident in the bottle. Rich and luscious to the front palate and balanced with a subtle length of flavour that seems to hover for an eternity. A winner of multiple gold medals, Buller's Premium Fine Muscat is a must for any true fortified aficionado.
Barbadillo La Cilla Pedro Ximenez
Barbadillo, an established quality Sherry producer since 1821, continue to produce some of the 'Jerez Triangle's' best examples for great prices. Proud to introduce their "reserve" level Pedro Ximenez, La Cilla, to our range, this exotic Sherry is made using sun-dried racking which emparts a luscious rainened flavour up front. On the wonderfully viscous palate, sultana flavours come to the fore with obvious notes of caramel. The wine though is beautifully balanced with sweetness that is not over the top in any way. Perfect served over some rich vanilla bean ice-cream!
Domaine De La Vieille Julienne Chateauneuf Du Pape Reserve
Torres Salmos
Made by the Torres family and coming exclusively from their vineyards located in the municipalities of Porrera and Lloar. Salmos is a Priorat wine, a blend between Carignan, Grenache & Syrah, that manages to achieve an unparalleled balance between power and elegance. Dark ruby red. Rich, ripe wine with floral (confected rose) and fruit (dark cherries, prunes) aromas. Beautifully framed by French oak. Elegant, subtle midpalate, very finely structured tannins and a slight touch of toast (cocoa).
Kalleske JMK Shiraz VP
Kalleske JMK Vintage fortified has been made in honour of John Malcolm Kalleske who has hand tended the vineyard where the fruit for this fabulous VP is sourced from for over 50 years. Kalleske's first attempt at a vintage fortified has seen it excel beyond belief. A very 'serious' style fortified without any of the candied sweetness sometimes evident in Australian 'ports', but a lip-smacking sweet/savoury blend that is at home more in Portugal than in the Barossa Valley. Outstanding.
Valdespino Inocente Fino
The Inocente Fino by Valdespino is fermented naturally for one year in very old oak barrels, then fortified and introduced to the first criadera of the Inocente solera. The wine then undergoes biological aging under veil of flor for over ten years. The result is an elegant, highly aromatic sherry with a pronounced nose of almond, yeast and dried herbs. The dry, balanced palate offers delicate notes of green olive, iodine and sea salt which linger through the firm, clean finish.
