Tenuta Fenice Nero d’Avola
Save the vines and enjoy a gorgeous, rich red! Poggioreale used to be an important wine village in Sicily. It was where Dino Taschetta grew up, like generations of his family before him. After an earthquake reduced Poggioreale to ruins in 1968, a new town was built further down the hill and the vineyards above the village, the highest and oldest in Sicily, were then neglected for decades. Now, with many of the island’s oldest Nero d’Avola vines grubbed up, there’s even more reason to treasure what’s left. Dino recently returned to the family estate and began to restore the vineyard. His first vintage was 2017 and he was in urgent need of a customer. Our Buyer tasted the wine and reserved it all. A year later, we’ve returned for more.
Innocent Bystander Moscato
Innocent Bystander Moscato is taking the country by storm! Now available in full-size, 750mL bottles, this vibrant and exciting wine is lighter in alcohol with green apple and fairy floss characters that leap out of the glass. This is sweet, fun and unashamedly easy drinking. Naturally effervescent and cold fermented it is made from old vine Gordo and Black Muscat.
Cupio Pinot Noir Dry Rose
A delicately dry and crisp rosé, combining hints of wild strawberry and exotic spices with an elegantly soft finish.
Pizzini Brachetto
Jim Barry Annabelle's Rose
Gerard Bertrand Côte des Roses Rosé
Mitolo Jester Sangiovese Rose
One of the earliest and most condensed in history thanks largely to a dry and warm growing season. A very wet July was followed by some of the driest spring months on record, led to some great flavour and colour development and the resulting wines are packed with delicious ripe flavours.
Taylors Estate Rosé
Vibrant pink in colour, the nose has lifted, fruit aromas of fresh strawberry and raspberry with hints of watermelon and faint musk. Delicate fruit flavours with lively acidity keep it refreshing on the palate, with a dry finish.
Estandon Saint Louis de Provence Rosé
Oily and rich, yet pristine and super fine. The Estandon Saint Louis de Provence Rosé has earthy redcurrants, aniseed spice, crunchy acidity and a fleshy long finish that belies the brilliantly pale colour. It's a delightful summer drinking.
Dandelion Vineyards Fairytale of the Barossa Rose
The aromatics are true to type, initially delicate, even shy. Then as the glass warms a melange of spices including cardamom with hints of Lily of the Valley. The palate has drying raspberry entry followed by raspberries more fresh and zingy. All in all a long palate that really saturates your tastebuds with flavour. Please serve chilled. If you serve this wine at room temperature much of the magic of the Fairytale will be lost.
