Bunnamagoo Shiraz
The nose shows complex savoury, earthy, bramble aromas with lifted American oak. The palate is medium bodied with bright red currant and hints of spice and blackberry.
Coriole Shiraz
Vibrant in colour the nose shows plum and berry fruit with spice pepper and well integrated oak. The palate has good fruit weight with attractive berry flavours and a fine tannin finish.
Elderton Shiraz
Elderton is one of Australia's great Shiraz producers, year in and year out. Brimming with ripe juicy blood-plum and chocolate flavours, this is almost like Black Forest cake in a bottle!
Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais-Villages
Made from the Gamay grape variety it is surprising that Beaujolais is not more popular in Australia! Soft, juicy and delicious - this is the ideal picnic companion.
John Duval Entity Shiraz
John Duval rose to winemaking fame as the craftsman of the mighty Penfolds Grange, before going it alone to further forge his reputation as a maker of great Shiraz. The aim of The Entity is to produce a wine true to the region. Rich and complex it shows ripe, spicy fruit characters with a complex savoury oak influence framed by fine lingering tannins.
Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Village
A delicious example of this gamay-based light red from southern Burgundy. Raspberry and plum aromas are direct and fruity, and the palate is light with a lingering, fragrant aftertaste.
Aptitude Gamay
Sourced from two characterful sites near Woodside, HSV and Bluestone - situated in the central Adelaide Hills, a commune quietly establishing itself as a natural home for Gamay's bright energy and expressive charm. An elegant and evocative expression, this wine opens with a lifted perfume of red berry compote, wild strawberry, redcurrant, and tart cranberry, all finely laced with whispers of dried sage and crushed herbs. The aromatic profile is delicate yet insistent, drawing you in with its quiet complexity. On the palate, there's a beautiful interplay of light and shade: fine-grained tannins offer gentle structure, while an inherent fleshiness lends mid-palate succulence without ever tipping into excess. There's an almost weightless quality to its movement - graceful, airy and precise carrying flavours in a seamless glide across the tongue. Ethereal, yes, but grounded in detail. A wine that doesn’t shout but speaks with clarity and poise, its beauty revealed slowly like a secret shared between sips.
LOUIS LATOUR MORGON
The appellation of Morgon is situated entirely within the parish of Villié-Morgon, where the soil sets its wines apart from the other Beaujolais 'Crus'. The percentage of sand and shale is higher here due to the particular way in which the local schist layers have weathered. Consequently the wines are firmer and darker in colour than the other 'Crus'. Dark ruby colour with aromas of black fruits such as blackcurrant and blackberry. The mouthfeel is rich and silky, revealing mouth-watering flavours of black fruits, myrtle, rose and cocoa. A serious and rich Beaujolais of incredible value and style.
Golding Single Vineyard Series Ombre Gamay
Out of the shadow and into the light steps our Ombre Gamay; ready and poised to take centre stage. Historically cast in the shadow of its varietal neighbour Pinot Noir, Gamay is enjoying a timely moment in the sun. Vibrant in hue and exuberant in youthful personality, this wine delivers juicy red berry fruits on the nose with subtle spice and fine tannins on the palate.
Mystery Yarra Valley Gamay Deal No. 71
From the Six Js vineyard in Steels Creek. Totally destemmed and fermented and matured in stainless steel. The result is a beautifully vibrant wine with aromas of pure, ripe raspberries, summer cherries and a touch of spice. The palate is equally energetic with its core of bright fruits, super fine and silky tannins and juicy acidity. A total joy to drink now and over the next 2-3 years.
