Penfolds Max's Shiraz is a tribute to former Chief Winemaker, Max Schubert, a legend in Penfolds history. His constant pursuit of excellence paved the way for those who followed in his footsteps, growing the brand's status and heritage in the process. Fruit-driven and generous in flavour, this fine red has a contemporary, persistent palate with subtle tannins leading to a soft, oak finish.

Penfolds Maxs Pinot Noir is a tribute to former Chief Winemaker Max Schubert 1948 - 1975, a legend in Penfolds history. Enticing aromatics, with exotic fruits of the forest leaping from the glass. Raspberry, black cherry, olive tapenade and oolong tea are framed by a subtle char-toast character. Hints of sea spray and a distinct Campari note linger.

Vibrant scarlet with a crimson hue. A lifted nose of concentrated red fruits with notes of dried herbs, charcuterie and potpourri. Viscous red fruit flavours are tightly wound by the spicy tannins. It persists gently in the mouth. Try it with barbequed figs wrapped in prosciutto. This wine is great for drinking with food, particularly poutry dishes like roast duck and Asian style meats.

Bin 8 has been crafted in the traditional Penfolds style. Ripe, balanced fruit flavours are supported by softly integrated oak resulting in an impressive, smooth red wine. Textured, plush tannins create a neat and tidy framework to house rich blackberry fruit spiced by derived vanilla pod. Barrel maturation has added a creamy texture and mouthfeel.

A dry style prosecco with a lively natural effervescence. Characters of fresh pear, lemongrass and light honey.

With its generous aromas showing lovely varietal sweet plum, red cherry and savoury notes on the nose; the palate delivers a delicious cherry flavour complemented by a spicy oak touch.

Daniel Ricciardo Secret Sauce. A red blend so good, I had to share it. Wine Made with my great frieds at St Hugo.

The Smidge St Brioc Fiano 2022 is a shining example of South Australian winemaking at its finest. This vintage from Smidge Wines is a true standout, with a pale straw colour that glistens in the glass. On the nose, aromas of ripe peach, apricot, and lemon zest mingle with subtle hints of white flowers and a touch of minerality. On the palate, the wine is crisp and refreshing, with zesty citrus flavours balanced by a creamy texture and a touch of salinity. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of juicy stone fruits. This Fiano is a true expression of its terroir, showcasing the unique characteristics of South Australia. Enjoy it now or cellar for a few years to watch it evolve into an even more complex and delightful wine.

Rich,ripe fruit was small batch fermented on skins then gently basket pressed. Extended maturation in french oak barriques has allowed the development of a luscious, smooth wine.
