This single-vineyard single-block dessert wine represents an exploration into hybridising the dessert wine styles based on vins de paille (straw wines) from Hermitage and the Cote de Jura and Vendange Tardive (Late Harvest) styles from Alsace in France. Grapes were left to linger and intensify on the vine to achieve high sugar levels and honeyed complexity. The wine walks a measured fine line between tension, generosity, and medium-sweet weight. It featured aromas of ginger snap, cardamon, cumquat, crème anglaise, fresh quince, pink peppercorn, and beeswax. The palate is defined, with a fine line of toast and mid-level sweetness. It travels down the palate with length, assisted by moreish tactile phenolics. It featured Seville orange, white chocolate, crème caramel and Campari flavours, with a very long finish and resonance of flavour. This wine is suitable for vegans.

Lemon in colour. Pears, lime and pineapple on the nose - there is also a hint of jasmine. On the palate, tropical fruits, quince and lemon zest and it has a long fresh finish with balanced acidity. Founded by Gaston Hochar in 1930, Chateau Musar lies in a 17th century Mzar castle in Ghazir, just North of Beruit overlooking the Mediterranean sea. One of the great wines of the world Chateau Musar has been run by Gaston's sons, Serge (who studied winemaking under the great Emile Peynaud at the University of Bordeaux) and Ronald since 1959. The grand vin is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Carignan, Grenache and Mourvedre with the white wine being a blend of native varieties including Merwah and Obaideh. With glowing reviews from international wine critics, Chateau Musar produces an earthy complex range of wines that age beautifully and Serge Hochar was awarded the first Decanter magazine "Man of the Year in 1984".

A 100% Marsanne from the northern Rhone appellation of Saint Joseph, fermented and matured in 400L oak casks. This wine exhibits expressive aromas of yellow fruit on the nose, while the palate delivers notes of hazelnut combined with peach and apricot.

Yalumba is the leading Viognier producer in Australia, with Virgilius as a flagship. Aromas of stone fruit and cashew are balanced by a minerally edge and a palate with superb depth and complexity.

This third Glen Garvald Marsanne Roussanne release builds upon the realisation of a 13-year long process of development from inspiration to ideation to actualization of a dream triggered by our winemaker working the 2006 vintage at the incomparable Domaine Jean-Louis Chave in the Hermitage appellation of France’s northern Rhône Valley. This family-owned and operated domaine has been producing blends of superlative and ethereal expression and highest regard from these perfectly matched varieties for centuries. Unfurling aromas of ginger, lychee, makrut lime leaf, vanilla custard, tarragon and orange blossom introduce the rich and viscous palate. The wine’s length and persistence are enhanced by tactile phenolics and a subliminal bitterness contributed by the Marsanne skins. Roussanne works as the perfect foil, harnessing and focusing the power of the Marsanne, adding definition across the palate and accentuating the finish. Flavour resounds and reverberates as a result. This wine may experience a couple of peaks throughout its maturation: an initial youthful vibrancy followed by a period of relative dormancy of indeterminate time. Its second rising will be the most definitive as it experiences a long, graceful and stable blooming into its twilight. Best serving temperature: 8-12°C.

Marsanne is a grape well known to many Australians. It is grown here with great success. However, its home will always be the Rhone Valley in France, where it can become quite magnificent. Cave de Tain create Saint-Péray AOC wines produced from marsanne with a certain fullness, made of roundness, generosity and finesse, and an extra personality trait: the minerality of their limestone terroir!

Produced from our very best Roussanne and Marsanne fruit the aim was to produce a rich textural wine in a true Rhone blend style. This wine is a beautiful golden colour with fresh stone fruit and citrus flavours balanced with a fine acidity.

This Sparkling Shiraz by Bests has a deep red colour. An energetic mousse which settles to a very fine persistent bead. A very fragrant nose containing a Cornucopia of perennial herbs, exotic spices and cherry. A faint whiff of an ocean breeze adds to the interest. Succulent red fruits tingle in the mouth and lead to a soft savoury finish.
