d’Arenberg 2014 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon
Australian Red
A poised Cabernet Sauvignon with violet, cassis and dark plum carried by a subtle minty lift. The palate is sleek and concentrated, shaped by fine, chalky tannins rather than sheer weight.

Tait 2018 Ball Buster
Australian Red
A full-bodied Barossa blend driven by Shiraz, with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon adding roundness and structure.

Robert Weil 2018 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Auslese 375 mL

Fauvin 2022 Chenas Cuvee Selene Magnum
French Red
Redcurrant, vanilla and peony meet in an intense, silky red with enough structure to carry its generous fruit.

Traditional open-vat fermentation and maturation in French oak build depth without obscuring the wine’s long, poised finish.
