Longview vineyards are located in the cool climate of the Adelaide Hill. The wine is elegant and stylish showing complexity and intensity. This Cabernet shows true varietal characters of violets and blackcurrant.

This full-bodied Malbec has a bouquet of black ripe fruits, blackcurrant, juniper, blueberry, pepper and cassis complemented with hints of toasted almond and cigar box from French oak. The balanced palate with ripe oak tannins delivers dark chocolate, mint, black currants and cassis. Enjoy now or will reward with cellaring.

With a commitment to producing the very best wines from South Australia's premier viticultural areas, Petaluma are able to present wines like this White Label Sauvignon Blanc. A blend of two regions, namely the Adelaide Hills and Coonawarra, this aromatic white displays wonderful exotic fruit intensity that is touched by a subtle herbal note. There is also a line of definitive crisp minerality to leave your palate not only refreshed, but calling for more.

Nine Lives Stone Wall Shiraz 2021 is deep purple in hue with aromas of dark fruits, plum, blackberry, and hints of cinnamon and nutmeg spice. The palate leads with generous flavours of blackberry and satsuma plum, alongside spice, toasty oak and graphite. The palate is framed by fine silky tannins and persistent fruit length.

Geoff Weaver Sauvignon Blanc from the Adelaide Hills is quite possible the region's best example of this aromatic variety. The bouquet shows lifted varietal characters of green pea and passionfruit and the palate is textured and long.

COMMUNE OF BUTTONS Gloria Pinot Noir, Adelaide Hills Commune of Buttons began with a single dream between brother and sister, to continue as second-generation growers of grapes. This is a distinctive Pinot from the much-loved Commune of Buttons. The Gloria vineyard is 1Ha of 25-year-old dry-grown Pinot vines planted in clay and sandstone soils rich in ironstone, quartz and basalt. With flavours of cassis, fresh grape juice, a lick of plum, and just a hint of cherry.

Pompette is Jasper Button’s idea of the perfect bistro red - bright, fresh, and dangerously easy to drink. The name means “pleasantly tipsy” in French, which feels pretty spot on once you’ve had a glass or two. It’s mostly Syrah from the Kas Sluiter Vineyard in Mylor, with a splash of Pinot Noir from Piccadilly to bring some crunch and lift. The fruit was hand-picked, destemmed and naturally fermented, then left to rest in fibreglass tanks for ten months. No oak, just clean, pure fruit and a heap of charm built for drinking any day of the week. You get juicy dark berries, violets and spice from the Syrah, while the Pinot keeps things bright and energetic. It’s medium-bodied, silky and a little savoury, the kind of red that feels right at home with pizza, pasta or a sunny afternoon picnic.

The Pike brothers established Pikes winery in the Polish Hill sub-region of the Clare Valley in 1984, renovating an old stone shearing shed to house their winery and cellar door. Neil is the veteran winemaker (he’s done 38 vintages in Clare); Andrew the seasoned viticulturist (he spent 22 years working for big names like Wynn’s Coonawarra and Southcorp before establishing Pikes). Together they turn out formidable wines that earn plenty of show medals and critical acclaim. Their richly textured 2017 'Wilfred's Block' really is magnificent. A definitive Australian blend of inky, slatey Cabernet and sumptuous, spicy Shiraz, it’s a contemplative wine – the layers of flavour will reveal themselves slowly – and perfect for winter sipping. It will cellar well until 2032, but is still drinking beautifully now. Decant, pour into big glasses, and savour with good food and good friends.
