Jim Barry Family Reds Six
Enjoy 2 bottles each of the NEW Jim Barry McKay's Clare Valley Grenache, the lovely Eastern Ranges Shiraz and exceptional Kirribilli Coonawarra Cabernet here. The Grenache uses fruit from the limestone-rich McKay’s vineyard in Clare’s Watervale, and sings with elegant, fresh red fruit. The Eastern Ranges Shiraz is from one of Clare’s highest Shiraz vineyards, and brims with bright, fresh red and purple fruit. The Cabernet is from the family’s Kirribilli vineyard in Coonawarra and is deliciously dark and leafy, with fine, gravelly tannins. This is a stunning selection, and a great way to sample the fine reds of Jim Barry.
Portugal Reds Six Pack
Dark, juicy and irresistible, Portugal’s reds are a top tip for Aussie red fans. Stars include multi-Gold pure Alicante Bouschet from José Neiva Correia, Triple-Gold pure Touriga Nacional from the Freitas family, whose Rocksand Shiraz also has Gold. Vilarissa is from the Douro’s Van Zeller family, and Number 10’s medley of local grapes offers so much flavour with just 10% alcohol. Save $59 on this enticing six.
Summer Rosé Six Pack
Versatility is in the make up of a well-made rosé – combine it with the LOW price you see here and without a doubt rosé becomes an ‘everyday’ pleasure. The colours on display make for perfect Summer drinking, although good rosé is rightly increasingly popular all year round. The versatility is epitomised by two flavour-packed and elegant South Australian bestsellers: Patronus and 16 Little Black Pigs. There are two high-pointed rosés from the Limestone Coast, one a pure Merlot, the other a Shiraz “with pristine fruit flavours backed by fine texture and bright acidity,” (Wine Orbit). Howard Vineyard is a high-altitude strawberry and spice-laced drop from Adelaide Hills “Good times ahoy … this is nicely done” (Halliday). It’s great value too! Then, from WA’s Great Southern you have a pure Pinot Noir that won Top Gold and a huge 95pts at Australia’s Cool Climate Wine Show. At $13.99 a bottle these are a steal!

Day: Lady Marmalade Vermentino Dozen
Soak up the sun with a cool glass of this fresh, bright star from Zonte’s Footstep. Valued at $28 a bottle, pay just $19.99 a bottle for the dozen and save $96! Savour 12 bottles of this Gold-winning Vermentino from the always dynamic Zonte’s team, who call this a "sexy, sassy, somewhat racy Vermentino that exudes so much character it just keeps you coming back for more..." The fruit for Lady Marmalade is sourced from hand tended blocks at the mouth of the Goolwa River of the Fleurieu Peninsula. The harvested fruit is destemmed and crushed into stainless steel tanks with only the finest quality free run juice being chilled to 5 degrees Celsius to preserve the expression of the fruit. Lady Marmalade Vermentino is an exciting, fresh, food-friendly white wine. Although a great food wine, especially seafood, at Zonte’s Footstep, we recommend a well-chilled, friends and a sunny afternoon, alfresco style... you can almost taste the salty sea spray!
