The Catena wines are a special assemblage of High Mountain Estate Vineyards made by fourth generation vintner, Laura Catena and chief winemaker, Alejandro Vigil. Although we have found that most of the Catena wines are consumed shortly after release, we are pleased to see that they age beautifully for ten to twenty years. Through decades of study and exploration within Mendoza's high altitude mountain terroirs, the Catena family has identified special locations for its Estate vineyards. From the marriage of these historic vineyards emerges a wine of unique character that has natural balance, concentration and a distinct varietal identity. In 1898, Nicola Catena left his homeland of Italy, and sailed for the land of plenty and opportunity: Argentina. It wasn't long before Nicola planted his first Malbec vineyard in Mendoza in 1902. Although traditionally used as a blending grape in Bordeaux, Nicola believed in the potential of Malbec as a single varietal wine, and suspected that it might uncover its hidden splendour in the cooler climes of the Andes. Flash forward a few decades, to where Nicola's grandson, Nicolas Catena Zapata, has taken over the management of the business. He sold off the bulk producing parts of the company, focusing instead on producing premium Mlabec and Cabernet. To that end, he began searching for the best sites in Mendoza to plant. In 1992, he settled on Gualtallary Alto - the highest and moste Western part of Tupungato. Today, the wines of Bodega Catena Zapata are sourced from six historic estate vineyards: Angélica, La Pirámide, Nicasia, Domingo, Adrianna and Angélica Sur.

Malbec is well suited to Australian tastes, it loves a steak, and offers big, bold vibrant notes. We think this is one Latin American you’ll get along with famously.Alamos grapes are grown at the foothills of the Andes Mountains and are handpicked to ensure the best quality grapes for the wine. Full of blackberries and fruitcake notes this wine is a perfect match for a cool winter’s night and a classic roast beef sirloin. We’re excited about adding this wine to our growing Malbec range!

Classic Coonawarra Cabernet, with generous blackberry fruits and an inviting mid palate weight. Lifted aroma of blackberry and forest fruits, cedar oak and hits of mint.

Kodakara Umeshu (Japanese Ume Plum Daiginjo Sake) is made by the Junmai Daiginjo master at Tatenokawa Shuzo. It is made from the finest Nanko Ume Plums and combined with Tatenokawa Junmai Daiginjo Sake and Shochu made from the lees (Sake Kasu) of the same sake and sugar. The result is rich, sweet flavour perfectly balancing the tarness of the plums. Kodakara Umeshu is best served chilled and straight up, on the rocks, or with soda. Wonderfully refreshing as a spiritzer. It is suitable as an aperitif, dessert wine or simply enjoyed at the end of a long day!

A smooth, great value easy drinking Malbec from San Juan in Argentina. And did we mention it's organic!?

Vinification is simple and centred around preserving the delicacy, freshness and vitality found in early picked old vine fruit. This Spinifex Rose consists of Grenache (52%), Cinsault (30 %), Mataro (14%) and Ugni blanc (4%). Bunches from mature (averaging 65 years of age) dry drown vineyards are hand harvested and the crushed and left to macerate for between 4 and 48 hrs prior to pressing.

The Red Claw is the complimenting range to the estate Yabby Lake wines that call the Mornington Peninsula home. This Shiraz though is sourced from the Cambrian rich soils of Heathcote, a region which has quickly become one of Australia's premier Shiraz growing areas. Dark berry and spice dominated, there are underlying notes of pepper and crushed herbs. Fermented in 100% French Oak, there is a subtlety to this Shiraz that lends itself to many cuisine matches.
