Petaluma Merlot is medium body with a brick red colour, the superbly perfumed bouquet is a tangle of marzipan, spice, plum and confectionery and is the best nose of the early Petalumas. On the palate, flavours of cherry, plum and spice emerge, with very good depth and complexity.

FRASER GALLOP ESTATE Parterre Cabernet, Margaret River

This bold Cabernet Sauvignon was crafted using premium fruit parcels sourced from lush vineyards in the Margaret River wine region. The grapes were picked at perfect tannin ripeness, fermented, and aged for a period of 12 to 15 months in French oak barrels. The resulting dry red wine displays an inky red / purple colour, and exudes vibrant aromas and flavours of blackberries and dried leaves. This full flavoured palate combines with finely structured tannins to provide a textured and captivating finish. This elegant wine can be cellared for a decade from vintage. Pair it with dishes like braised beef short ribs, garlic chicken wings, and zucchini gratin with tomato confit, to fully appreciate its satisfying flavours.

One Seven One is the flagship Cabernet from the historic Brand's winery. It's powerful, structured and age worthy, an ticks all the boxes for deluxe Coonawarra Cabernet.Deep, dark red. Blackcurrant, prune, mint, espresso and dark chocolate. Tightly-wound and beautifully structured with a muscular mix of black and purple fruit, decadent mocha-like richness, massive tannin foundation and loads of charry oak.

The elegant, mid-weight palate displays lovely plum and dark cherry fruits with spicy vanilla notes from time in French oak. The structure is powerful but elegant with fine velvety tannins and a long finish.

One of the benchmark wines to come out of the Coonawarra, the Penfolds Bin 128 is a delightful cool-climate shiraz. Matured in French Oak, with flavours of white pepper and floral spice, the 2014 Bin 128 is a rich and full-bodied Shiraz.
