Murrumbateman Winery Tempranillo
The Spanish fieasta is here – crack out the Tempranillo (tem-prah-ni-yo) and serve up the chorizo. My forefathers were from Spain, but I am a local through and through. I grew up in the Canberra region and my grapes were carefully picked by hand, only the best will do so naturally I was aged in French oak. I have a curvaceous medium body, a rich mouth feel and plum fruit flavours with earthy hints of mature spice and black tea tannin.
Sentio Gamay
King Valley Gamay that sings with purity, zip and sheer light red drinking enjoyment.
Elura Elura Heritage Release Cabernet Sauvignon
“Still youthful and drinking exceptionally well, these bottles are worth seeking out for a chance to taste Cabernet at its developing best, but with at least another ten years to go: loads of vibrant primary blackcurrant/cassis fruit, secondary vanilla oak and tertiary flavours of leather and forest floor. Dreamy.” – Melissa Moore, Sommelier. These rare bottles are closed with the original ‘Gundowringla’ cork of our parents’ label and each bottle is individually hand-dipped in wax by Brendan. The 2002 Heritage Release Cabernet Sauvignon was Mark’s first ever vintage at Gundowring. We rediscovered a small quantity of these bottles while moving stock and having sampled several bottles were delighted that they are drinking exceptionally well, with fresh fruit balanced by soft tannins. With Trudi and Ian’s blessing we’ve labeled them under the Elura label. FOOD & WINE MATCHING Elura’s 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon is a food wine ideally complements rich and bold red meat flavours, hearty casseroles or cured meats. Best decanted. CELLARING With 20+ years in cellar already, this Heritage Release Cabernet Sauvignon is drinking well now and has cellaring potential of another 10+ years.

Bodegas Faustino Gran Reserva Faustino
Highly aromatic and complex, this wine opens with layers of spice, hardwood, roasted elements, and balsamic notes, evolving into hints of leather and vanilla. On the palate, it’s powerful and fleshy, yet elegant and balanced, with fine tannins and vibrant acidity that give structure and length. A wine that’s both enveloping and refined, offering depth and character in equal measure.
Bannockburn Pinot Noir
Bannockburn is spicy with well intergraded savoury oak and great acidity backbone. The varietal flavours such as, raspberries, strawberries and red cherries fruits lingers with a faint hint of forest floor on the palate with well supporting tannins. A greatly composed wine, this is undoubtedly pushing the setting of this country's benchmark for Pinot Noir to another level.
Seresin Leah Pinot Noir
The Seresin Leah is a wonderful example of hand-crafted Marlborough Pinot Noir which is sourced from 3 of Seresin's premium vineyard sites; the clay rich hillside Raupo Creek vineyard, the alluvial shingles of the Tatou vineyard and the Home vineyard, which is made up of a variety of Waimakariri type soils of alluvial origin. The wine itself shows a nose of savoury, spicy and earthy aromas with plum, berry and herbal notes. Following is a palate that is both focused and plush with a feminine feel of red fruits, namely strawberry and ripe cherry.
