Coriole Fiano
The nose is aromatic with mandarin, melon and lemon rind. The palate is fresh and rich - stone fruits and citrus with clean, crisp acidity. Texture and mouth feel with weight and layers of flavour.
Coriole Chenin Blanc
This variety made famous by the Loire Valley is starting to gain a footing in Australia. Coriole Chenin Blanc is fresh and elegant on the palate, comprising pineapple and gooseberry fruits with an attractive smoky finish.
Chapel Hill The Parson Cabernet Sauvignon
Chapel Hill's Michael Fragos loves using the Parsons label to showcase McLaren Vale's diversity and varietal character. To achieve the desired style and to harness the regal varietal flavours of Cabernet Sauvignon, the grapes are strategically harvested to avoid any green tannins or overripe jammy fruit flavours. Full-bodied in style, the palate is both eloquently pure and broodingly complex, supported by fine, savoury tannins. A great companion for a medium rare steak with a solid helping of steamed greens.
Chapel Hill The Vinedresser Shiraz
Chapel Hill The Vinedresser is a true to form McLaren Vale Shiraz. With hints of blueberry and spice and a long, silky finish.

In the winery: Selected bunches were hand picked in the third week of March and gently crushed into open top fermenters.In the glass: Vibrant, dense red black.On the nose: Appealing mix of super-ripe black fruit with classic mint herbaceousness. On the palate: Excellent balance with a powerful black fruit core cloaked with bright spice and herb and underlying cedary oak.
d'Arenberg The Stump Jump Lightly Wooded Chardonnay
The Stump Jump Lightly Wooded Chardonnay presents a pale straw colour with bright green tinges along the edges. A whiff of the wine reveals scintillating aromas of Granny Smith apples and citrus, accompanied by a subtle brininess. These vibrant fragrances are replicated on the fresh and crunchy palate, where they are joined by enticing flavours of hazelnut and brioche. All these elements fuse together to provide a creamy texture. This wonderful Chardonnay culminates in a taut, savoury and lengthy finish. It pairs best with roast chicken, fresh fish and crunchy salads.
Scarpantoni Chardonnay
An excellent food wine, it matches well with just about any foods you might match a dry white wine to, but fresh white seafood dishes (white fish, squid, prawns & crabs) are perhaps the best accompaniment to this wine.

Alex uses a small percentage of oak to add extra interest and texture to this wine.Pale lemon with green freshness. White peach, lemon, apple and tonic water aromas. Shows good balance of citrus and stonefruit with driving grapefruit acidity, white melon texture and mouthfeel and a long minerally finish. Juicy and savoury.
