Taltarni Vineyards Marque Sparkling White Non-Vintage
This lot criminally undervalue for their own wines, it's that simple. This lively drop is refreshing and people-pleasing but not without nuance. To be honest it's a bit of a party animal and fit for any celebration or occasion. A true Chameleon, fit for drinking in a t-shirt or a tuxedo - enjoy! Talk about bang for your buck... there's a whole lot of quality for the price and a whole lot of fun to be had. Vivacious and vibrant, this is the kind of wine that wouldn't normally be taken overly seriously but Taltarni Vineyards simply can't help themselves. It's a compulsion of theirs to overdeliver and bring a sparkling wine that fits in perfectly at a party but brings a level of attention to detail that completely invalidates the price point. Just as you'd expect there's zippy acid, wonderful citrus and a slight brioche-adjacent richness that carries through to the finish. This is the perfect bubbly for an event or party and frankly we'd feel a little understocked if we didn't have a couple of these waiting in the rack at home - y'know, for emergencies.

Babo Pinot Grigio
The fruit was entirely hand-harvested and allowed 6 hours skin contact in the press before fermentation was carried out at cool temperatures to maximise fruit expression. This wine shows all the hallmarks of easy-going, classic Italian Pinot Grigio; subtle grapefruit and underlying floral and spice notes on the nose followed by citrus and peach flavours bound together by a tight minerality.
Woodstock Grenache Rosé
Cherry, raspberry and rose petal aromas are intermingled with hints of blueberry. Juicy cherry flavours of Grenache continue in a rich, ripe, textured palate. Terrific with smoked salmon.
Kim Crawford Pinot Noir
New Zealand is proving to be a star performer when it comes to Pinot Noir. This is a fruit driven style exhibiting juicy cherry and strawberry fruit combined with subtle oak. The finish is smooth and soft.
Artemis Pinot Grigio
Artemis Pinot Grigio is hand crafted from grapes grown on low-yielding vines, from the cool climate of the Southern Highlands region NSW, Australia. Ripe, floral notes and a fresh citrus palate lead into a crisp finish.
