In the glass: Dark red with a slight brick hue. On the nose: Aromatic lift of cassis and dark berry fruit, mint and cedar with leathery development adding character. On the palate: Dense and plush though not heavy, with chocolate, mocha and dark fruit power. Still vibrant and intense yet rich and complex with layers of sweet friut, earth, herb and toasty oak - a lovely example of aged Cabernet!

Young, vibrant, lively and fresh, Longview Fresco Nebbiolo is an unwooded wine. It's made in the Vino Novello style (immediate drinkability) using fruit sourced from Longview's single vineyard at Macclesfield. Showing a youthful red colour, the wine gives off aromas of cherry-cola, with lifted fragrances of spice, roses and violets. The lip-smacking palate welcomes you with cherry and strawberry characters rounded with ripe tannins and well balanced acidity. Ultimately, the wine takes you to a savoury and edgy finale. This Adelaide Hills Nebbiolo can be enjoyed with a bowl of pasta, or rich duck egg ravioli stuffed with wild mushrooms.

Bright red berry fruits of raspberry and strawberry. Blackberry and plum fill the front palate, with a nice layer of spice in the middle with just the right amount of soft French oak tannins at the back.

Crafted by Australian winemaking veteran Tim Knappstein, Riposte ‘The Peacemaker’ Pinot Noir showcases the pedigree of cool-climate Adelaide Hills fruit. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards, hand-picked bunches undergo cold soaking and open-top fermentation before maturation in French oak barriques. The palate delivers focused red cherry and dark plum fruit underpinned by fine tannins and balanced acidity. It offers outstanding value and immediate appeal alongside cellaring potential over the next five years.

Woodlands Cabernet Merlot is one of the regions best examples. The Watson brothers are the custodians of a family heritage in Margaret River that continues to this day. The Cabernet Merlot has attractive and complex aromas of dark berry and plum supported by well integrated vanillin oak. The palate shows similar characters with outstanding length of flavour and perfect balance. Drink now or cellar short term.

Red fruit aromas in the red cherry and redcurrant spectrum carry through onto the palate.

Sandalford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is simply put, a sensational wine! Complex on the nose with violets, tomato leaf, cigar box and spice, it is beautifully structured on the palate, with rich fleshy fruit filling out the tannin backbone.
