A unique wine from the 36 years old, low yielding bush vines of the Cape Mentelle's original Estate Vineyard. This Zinfandel exudes flavours of plum pudding, black cherry and sweet spices on a rich, mouth filling palate. Hand picked, basket pressed and matured in the finest oak it is. Australias leading example of this bold and generous variety. Crunchy red cherries and an enticing blend of Asian all-spice, red liquorice and star anise, developing into warm mocha notes carried by fine grain savoury tannins and graphite notes characteristic of the Cape Mentelle's Wallcliffe vineyard.

Tasmania is very well suited to growing and producing Pinot Noir with its cool-climate and excellent terroir. Temperate days and cool nights at Derwent Estate have produced a silky Pinot Noir that oozes class. A delicate mix of sweet and savoury fruits with a long lasting finish.

With a home on the central east coast of Italy, the Abruzzo region is home to the Montepulciano grape (not to be confused with the region of Montepulciano in Tuscany!). It is here that the variety really thrives and Illuminati's Pieluni Riserva shows wonderful deep, brooding and intense aromas and flavours of ripe plums, tobacco and blackcurrant. Delectable chocolate tannins round out a truly decadent wine.

Brilliant straw-yellow with green reflections, fine and persistent perlage. The nose is markedly fruity and aromatic showing notes of apple and white stone fruits. The palate shows enticing fresh apple and pear fruit, and is wonderfully creamy and full with a pleasant fruity aftertaste. Serve well chilled as an aperitivo with a range of antipasto such as scampi crostini, salt and pepper squid, fresh asparagus frittata, polenta chips and Prosciutto Crudo with melon or fresh figs. Following the hand harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and left to settle prior to a carefully controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats. Re-fermentation is via the Charmat method in stainless steel tanks (closed under pressure) at programmed temperatures and with selected yeasts for a minimum of 60 days. The dosage is 12 gms/L with a natural acidity of 7 gms/L. BiancaVigna was founded by Elena and Enrico Moschetta in 2004 from the encounter of two families with the same passion for quality wines and good food: the Moschettas (wines producers in San Gallo since 1903) and the Cuzziols (agro food merchants since 1920). Biancavigna manages 12 hectares of vineyards located in 3 different areas: Conegliano, Pieve di Soligo and Felettano close to Valdobbiadene. Each vineyard contributes its own unique character, structure and minerality to the finished wines.

A wonderful Barolo from Maretti showcasing great value for the region. The colour is dark garnet with ruby highlights. It has a clear-cut, intense nose with overtones of roses, spices, earthy undertones with nuanced vanilla notes. The taste is dry, but soft, full-bodied, velvety and well balanced, and is very long-lasting. Classic Barolo like this works well with rich braised meat dishes or a mushroom risotto.
