Wine

Ripasso wines benefit from extra structure and fruit delivered by using the skins of sun dried grapes. This wine is bursting with cherries on the nose, has great depth of flavour, silky smooth fruit and a long, rich velvety finish.

Biscardo Vini

COLOUR Bright and deep ruby.
NOSE A loaded and dense perfume of cassis, licorice and strawberry sorbet is deepened by ocean scents of dried shells and crayfish bisque. Ironstone rock brings earthy notes which give way to dried rose petal and vanilla butter intrigue.
PALATE So intense, tight, lengthy and exciting. A fresh and succulent entry pulls inward with firm, linear tannins driving the flavours long. Fresh raspberry, wood spice, vanilla and peanut complexities linger.

Vasse Felix

Vat 9 is a blend of the best of Tyrell's old blocks that sit on the strip of red soil that runs through the winery.

The 2018 vintage, one of the earliest Shiraz harvests seen, was simply spectacular for Shiraz in the Hunter Valley. Warm, dry conditions kept cropping levels down, producing wines of great concentration and length of flavour. Intense purple in colour, the wine displays a pretty, red-berry nose with hints of subtle oak and lifted spice. The medium-bodied palate shows soft, sweet fruits and more of that subtle oak, all complemented by a fine, clean acid structure and long tannins. This is a classic Vat 9 that is destined to have a long life in the cellar.

Tyrrell's Family Winemakers

A fine, crisp and fresh wine, with peach and pear characteristics, and refreshing acidity on the finish.

Monacesca

Back in 1961, seventeen farmers from the hills of Tuscany formed a “micro co-operative” to relaunch the local economy and give voice to the region. The focus initially was on Chianti but things have moved on and this Vernaccia is an absolute beauty. Fresh and light with an appealing nutty bitterness on the finish, it’s bone dry but with a lovely, textural richness.

Made from a blend of Loureiro 50%, Avesso 15% and Arinto 35%. Floral, citrus and gentle tropical aromas lead on to a palate which is deliciously off-dry with flavours of ripe melon and sherbet lemon acidity. The finish is refreshing with a classic spritz.

Villa Maria's finest Sauvignon, the grapes come from the Fairhill vineyard which surrounds Villa Maria's Marlborough winery in the Wairau Valley. The typically warm days and cool nights during the growing season lead to intense concentrated flavors with a fresh energetic line of acidity while the predominantly clay based soils give weight and structure to the wines. Sustainable practices and an emphasis on biodiversity brings life into the vineyard ensuring healthy, resilient vines that produce complex and characterful wines

The summer was dry and mild with Marlborough’s signature high sunshine hours and cool nights delivering fruit in the best possible condition. The early autumn in 2021 provided Marlborough with very stable weather conditions therefore fruit was able to reach optimum physiological and flavour ripeness. The fruit was impeccably clean and the lower yields meant that the grapes packed a punch in flavour and concentration. The grapes were fermented in a mix of Franch oak puncheons and barriques followed by 11 months aging in barrel and a further 6 months on lees in stainless steel tanks.

With vibrant citrus aromas accompanied by lifted florals and smoky notes on nose, this is a multi-dimensional wine with a zesty acid backbone and a structured mineral texture.

This has full ripe Pinot Gris spiciness on the nose, with a lovely lemon lift, it is medium weight but with a full stony impact on the palate where it is long and satisfying with good acidity.

Domine de Savagny

Intense, deep ruby red colour. The nose is complex, with red fruits and notes of spice, as well as a great mineral content coming from the granite that constitutes the soil.

Classic ancient vine Semillon selected from 2 small plots, the oldest planted in 1905. The fruit for the Wildeberg wines comes from the Franschhoek Valley only, hand-harvested, naturally-fermented and gently matured in the mountain barrel hall on the farm. Restrained, delicate aromas with bright citrus fruit offset by savoury, waxy notes. The palate has an impactful attack of taut, stony, highly textural citrus tang and terrific mouthfeel.
