Billy Button Sangiovese
Prosecco Col Fondo
Prosecco Col Fondo, which means ‘with its lees-sediment’, is one of our handmade originals and a bit of a cavedon wines classic! It’s a cloudy style prosecco and up there with one of our favourite ways of drinking the variety. It offers up more character and depth than the modern classic prosecco, but is still light, fun and easy drinking. Think dry, cloudy, sourdough and lemon curd. Grown by us and made by Gabe using the traditional champagne method, col fondo is fermented in the bottle itself. It’s aged on its lees for 18 months before release, giving it that classic sourdough-like aroma you get from slowly made sparkling. Although it has complexity with age, it has loads of vibrancy and freshness with delicate aromatics. Part of the magic in the slow process, is the fine bubble it produces, along with a great balance between natural acidity and a creamy palate. The dry, savoury edge also makes it a standout for food pairing.
Pizzini Riesling
An elegant fragrant wine displaying floral spice and lime flavours. The fresh lingering acidity makes it a perfect match with seafood and Asian cuisine.
Pizzini il Soffio King Valley Prosecco
This wine is a light straw colour with lime hues. The nose explodes from the glass with sweet sherbet, lemon, lime and jasmine aromas. Yeasty and earthy characters add complexity, with added brioche notes. The palate is creamy and refreshing zingy with lemon, lime acidity. The wine has lovely length and softness with a touch of sweetness but a long dry finish. Serve with Sydney rock oysters or lightly grilled scallops topped with lemon zest.
Sorrenberg Gamay
Gamay is not widely grown in Australia but if there is a "benchmark" for the grape here it must be Sorrenberg. True to variety it is a lighter bodied style . Showing a lovely bouquet of aromatic fruit of red currants with a hint of cherry, this follows on the palate to include complex elegant acid and refined tannins.
Babo Pinot Grigio
The fruit was entirely hand-harvested and allowed 6 hours skin contact in the press before fermentation was carried out at cool temperatures to maximise fruit expression. This wine shows all the hallmarks of easy-going, classic Italian Pinot Grigio; subtle grapefruit and underlying floral and spice notes on the nose followed by citrus and peach flavours bound together by a tight minerality.
Pizzini Sangiovese
Fred Pizzini grew up in Italy and is bringing the taste of his homeland to the Australian dining table. His Sangiovese is one of the best examples in the country, with spicy, savoury fruit hiding a vein of mouth watering acid that is a hallmark of the variety. Delicious now - and will get better with bottle age!
Red Claw Chardonnay
Yabby Lake's second label is most impressive; Chardonnay in the modern style - less oak and better acid structure. Textured and classy with matchbox flint, grapefruit and an extremely classy precision.
Marc Brédif Vouvray
Marc Brédif Vouvray is a stylish Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley in France. Very intense and fruity nose with notes of white flowers and quince. A unique wine in that they have the ability to age for many decades, developing palate weight and honeyed complexity as they age.
Skillogalee Riesling
Lush, almost tropical aromas of pineapple, bananas and melon - the palate exhibits steely minerally flavours without being overly acidic. An excellent advertisement for Clare Riesling.
