As you can imagine, the folk who live on Strout Road have heard a lot of trout jokes. If you can’t beat them, join them, say the Strout Rd Vintners – which is why there’s a trout on the label. They may only be a small outfit, but they’re certainly making a big splash with their luscious, mouthfilling wines, like this beautifully balanced Chardonnay which takes its fruit from vineyards in McLaren Vale. It would be a wonderful accompaniment to a delicious salad of smoked trout, but will also match just about match any long lunch fare you can think of beautifully.

Refresh yourself in style with this fresh and vibrant McLaren Vale Chardonnay – it’s a real sunshine filled treat. Like the famous Albacore tuna, the team behind this wine have endless determination. Their niche is selecting the best grapes and bringing them together to create well-integrated, varietally expressive wines.

McLaren Vale is arguably home to Australia's finest Grenache, a grape whose popularity is very definitely on the rise. This is a succulent beauty from the very popular Black Pig family. It's always fun when any member of The Black Pig family come to call – especially when it's as attractive and vibrant as this one!

The hugely popular Black Pig family from McLaren Vale continues to grow with the arrival of this – a very welcome, delicious and luxurious newcomer to the family – a dark and savoury Reserve Mataro! In Spain it's known as Monastrell, in the Rhône it's called Mourvèdre, and wherever it grows it is usually used as a savoury component in blends, especially as the M component in GSMs. However, although rare, there are fantastic examples of it being vinified solo as here, and as this illustrates the results can be absolutely delicious.
