Vincent's Breeze Adelaide Hills Chardonnay
Vincents Breeze wines take their name from a picturesque stretch of water found between the Fleurieu and Yorke peninsula in South Australia known as the Gulf St Vincent. These wines were created by blending a number of separate vineyard parcels with the aim of balancing the strengths of each.Honeydew and brown lime flavours intertwine with a smooth and creamy mid palate. Fine natural acidity give great length and balances the textural oak characters.
Sherrah Skin Party Fiano
Clean, crisp and dry but much more textural than the standard Fiano. A great example of careful skin contact displaying lemon pith and complex white tannins.
Lloyd Brothers Picpoul
Pale in colour, this bright, fresh Picpoul has lifted aromas of Spring blossoms, lemon myrtle and lemon zest. The palate displays green apples, honeysuckle, lemon and lime making it a lovely fresh, crisp drinking white wine. Originating from the South of France, Picpoul is famously paired with Oysters and seafood. Best enjoyed chilled.
The Hedonist McLaren Vale Fiano
94pt, Great Value Fiano “Refreshing and engaging. Very good.”(Halliday) from a McLaren Vale veteran and certified Organic/Biodynamic too. Walter Clappis has been making wine in McLaren Vale for nearly 40 years and has won innumerable Trophies and Golds. With fruit sourced from Cooter Vineyard, Whites Valley in the Willunga foothills. "Golden apple and green peach, fennel frond, lemon pith, fresh almond, some white florals, a little flinty/earthy mineral note. This is fresh, zesty, picked at an ideal nexus of fruit depth and tension, the seam of fine grip adding another compelling dimension. Refreshing and engaging. Very good. 94JH Great Value.” (Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion).
Dune Maspolomas Grenache Blanc Noir
The DUNE Maspalomas is a blend of Grenache Noir and Grenache Blanc. Yes that’s correct folks, red and white grapes together. These are hand-picked and co-fermented on skins. It’s like making a red wine but using red and white grapes. It is rosé? No, it's not a rosé, as rosé would typically be fermented as juice only rather than on the skins. So it’s more akin to a very light red wine, a beautiful floral rose nose, mid weight with lovely chalky tannins. Drink it chilled, not super cold but in the fridge for an hour before serving is best.
Mystery McLaren Vale Chardonnay Deal No. 5989
Pale straw with a green hue. Lifted citrus and white peach aromas with hints of honey and subtle oak spice. The palate is rich yet balanced, showing stone fruit, lemon curd and a creamy texture, supported by fresh acidity and fine minerality. Finishes long and smooth with gentle oak influence.

Hither & Yon McLaren Vale Chenin Blanc
Clean, bright and crisp Chenin from McLaren Vale’s dynamic Hither & Yon team, with flavours of apples, lemon barley water, and nutty notes. Brothers Richard and Malcolm Leask started Hither & Yon in 2012. Interestingly each label depicts the ampersand from the name but with a different artist at work with every one. The team at Hither & Yon are inventive, quality focussed, and work with great trusted growers, and usually excels in interesting blends and rarer grapes, like this Chenin Blanc from the Breakneck Creek vineyard "on the eastern escarpment of McLaren Vale, tucked into the foothills and with stunning views of the Gulf St. Vincent and Mount Lofty ranges this is a brand new wine for Hither & Yon."
