These traditional sparkling varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier are sourced from the cool climate Adelaide Hills, and are picked early to retain high natural acidity. Small batches of these low yielding grapes are gently pressed in stainless stell basket presses. Following primary and partial malolactic fermentation the inidividual parcels are bottled and inoculated with yeast and sugar to encourage secondary fermentation. The cuvee is fermented in the bottle to develop complexity for approximately four years. This is a dry style sparkling with minerality, a crisp acid backbone and layers of flowers, fruits and toasty savoury nuances.

A serious GSM with dark brooding notes, significant fruit weight and ample supporting tannins. The minimalistic organic practices that have been adopted in the vineyard bolster the earthy, ferrous notes in the wine which are immediately to the fore. As the veil starts to lift, the savoury notes are met by waves of generous berry fruits….blueberry, plum, cassis. Hints of spice add an altogether new dimension and accentuate the long, lingering finish. An incredibly versatile wine that would be equally suitable paired with casseroles and curries, as it would be alongside an antipasto platter.

The d'Arenberg The Nostalgia Rare Tawny NV 375ml from McLaren Vale is a true embodiment of the rich and complex flavors that this renowned wine region is known for. In the glass, this tawny-hued wine is mesmerizing with its deep amber color, reminiscent of a sunset over the rolling hills of South Australia. On the nose, aromas of dried figs, raisins, and dark chocolate waft towards you, while hints of toasted almonds and warm spices add depth and complexity. The palate is equally inviting, with flavors of ripe plum, caramelized sugar, and nutty undertones dancing on the tongue. The finish is long and luxurious, leaving lingering notes of toffee and roasted hazelnuts. This NV vintage from d'Arenberg is a true testament to their expertise and dedication to producing exceptional wines. Savor it on its own or pair it with a decadent dessert for a truly indulgent experience.

The best parcels of wine that make up the Coppermine Road Cabernet mostly come from a rare low-yielding clone which is characterized by its violet and anise perfume, concentration and great acidity.

This is a wine of great generosity and depth. The nose exhibits an abundance of purple fruits, mulberries and plums - with a mix of baking spices including nutmeg, cinnamon and star anise. The palate is fleshy and juicy with an almost velvet like texture. The Grenache adds fruit character and balanced acidity, the Shiraz fills out the wine and delivers early structure while the Mourvedre provides red fruits and dried herb notes and provides a core of fine tannins.
