Aptitude Gamay
Sourced from two characterful sites near Woodside, HSV and Bluestone - situated in the central Adelaide Hills, a commune quietly establishing itself as a natural home for Gamay's bright energy and expressive charm. An elegant and evocative expression, this wine opens with a lifted perfume of red berry compote, wild strawberry, redcurrant, and tart cranberry, all finely laced with whispers of dried sage and crushed herbs. The aromatic profile is delicate yet insistent, drawing you in with its quiet complexity. On the palate, there's a beautiful interplay of light and shade: fine-grained tannins offer gentle structure, while an inherent fleshiness lends mid-palate succulence without ever tipping into excess. There's an almost weightless quality to its movement - graceful, airy and precise carrying flavours in a seamless glide across the tongue. Ethereal, yes, but grounded in detail. A wine that doesn’t shout but speaks with clarity and poise, its beauty revealed slowly like a secret shared between sips.
Cat Amongst Pigeons Stone Well Barossa Shiraz
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.

Michael Hall Sang de Pigeon Pinot Noir
Warramate Cabernets
A medium-bodied claret style wine with a signature leafy lift. Layered fruits of blackcurrant and blueberries integrate with earthy complexity & fine dusty tannins. A brightness from the acidity underscores a generous palate weight of fruit and long finish ably assisted by the varieties inherent structural tannins.
O'Leary Walker Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Commune of Buttons Pompette
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.
C.J. Wicks Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir
La Linea Tempranillo
La Linea Tempranillo has floral aromas, with notes of raspberry, mulberry and cherry, and hints of sage and rosemary. Savoury and complex yet fresh, with distinctive fine tannins, it will age for some years.
Geoff Weaver Pinot Noir
Showcasing the strengths of the Adelaide Hills as a premier Pinot Noir regoin, Geoff Weaver crafts a Pinot of exceptional quality and pedigree. Noted for its aromas of red fruits with hints of leather and forest floor. Amazing acid that is a driver for this pure, fresh wine.
Geoff Weaver Sauvignon Blanc
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.
