Hentyfarm Pinot Meunier
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.
Josef Chromy Marchington Tasmania Pinot Noir
Tasmanian Pinot Noir very rarely leaves the state! This bight, vibrant and elegant gem not only comes from Tasmania but is made for us exclusively at the great Josef Chromy estate. A thrilling must-try red, and a name with a very colourful story behind it. Josef Chromy set up his winery in Tasmania in 2007 aged 76, having escaped from Czechoslavakia in 1950. We are very proud to have a Chromy exclusive, as Tasmania’s highly celebrated wines almost never leave the state! This rather regal Pinot Noir takes its name from the source of its premium fruit – the Marchington Vineyard, planted on the Marchington estate, by a man called John Smith, the alleged illegitimate son of a King of England, shipped to Tasmania in the 1800s. Don’t miss it!

Devil's Corner Sparkling Cuvèe
