Australia
Maidenii Dry Vermouth
$55.99Apricot and bright citrus open an aromatic nose, followed by cinnamon, anise and a distinctly savoury herbal line. Strawberry gum, river mint, sea parsley and lime leaf bring a vivid Australian botanical character, while wormwood and gentian supply clean bitterness. The palate is dry, floral and fresh, with restrained fruit and a crisp finish. Serve lightly chilled on its own, over ice with tonic, or use it to give a Martini extra aromatic detail.
Lemsecco Lemon Spritz 750 mL
$23.99Fresh lemon zest leads with a vivid citrus aroma, joined by a gentle floral lift from the sparkling wine. Sweet lemon notes give the mid-palate a rounded, almost sherbet-like character, while lively bubbles and tart acidity keep the finish clean and refreshing. Serve well chilled over ice with a lemon wheel, or pair with antipasti, fried seafood, fresh chèvre, fruit salad or lightly salted almonds.
Delinquente Bizzarro Bitter Aperitivo
$35.99Bright orange and lemon peel lead with an aromatic citrus lift. Rhubarb and gentian root bring a clean, earthy bitterness, while the skin-contact white-wine base adds texture and a gently savoury edge. Sweetness and bitterness remain evenly balanced through the finish. Serve over ice with soda, build into a spritz with sparkling wine, or use in citrus-led aperitivo cocktails.
d’Arenberg 2021 The Stump Jump Shiraz
$22.99Fresh cherries, raspberries and blackberries lead, joined by plum, cassis, aniseed, baking spices and black pepper. This juicy Shiraz is medium-bodied and generous, with silky, persistent tannins giving the palate polish and shape. Bright and approachable, it finishes with lively fruit and easy warmth. Serve with grilled lamb, burgers or smoky aubergine.
Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 407 2018
$129.99A polished South Australian Cabernet with cassis, blackberry, violet, bay leaf, tobacco, cedar and graphite. Carefully judged oak frames the fruit without crowding it, while the medium- to full-bodied palate balances concentration with freshness. Fine, persistent tannins lead into a savoury, chocolate-tinged finish. Serve it with grilled steak, roast lamb or a rich mushroom dish.
Hewitson 2021 Old Garden Mourvedre
$109.99Blueberry, raspberry and black cherry rise with heady spice, mint and a measured touch of mocha. Plump and silky on the palate, it balances succulent fruit with bright acidity and soft, spicy tannins, while dark chocolate and herbs add savoury depth. Generous without heaviness, it pairs naturally with lamb shank, game or slow-cooked beef.
Seppelt NV DP 33 Muscat
$39.99Deep brown with an olive-green rim, opening on raisin, toffee and honey with a measured hint of marmalade. The palate is creamy and velvet-smooth, layering crushed raisin, caramel and warm spice over a rich, concentrated core. Balanced warmth carries the sweetness through a very long finish that remains expressive rather than heavy.
Buller NV Fine Old Muscat
$49.99Reddish amber and richly perfumed, with raisins, dried fig and dark chocolate leading into caramel, brown sugar, dates and molasses. The texture is dense and velvety, yet bright acidity keeps the sweetness composed and fresh. A long, warming finish makes this an excellent after-dinner pour, either alone or beside chocolate brownies and cream.
Henschke 2001 Mount Edelstone Shiraz
$499.99Mulberry, blackcurrant and plum rise with sage, rosemary and black pepper, followed by tobacco leaf, anise and gently developed oak. The palate remains rich and concentrated, with savoury herbal detail, fine acidity and long, silky tannins. Mature yet composed, it closes with spice, depth and remarkable persistence.
Penfolds Grange 1984
$1,399.99Rich and mature, with blackcurrant, plum and dark berry layered with chocolate, caramel, mocha, cedar, menthol, smoke and tobacco. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated yet balanced, carrying supple tannins, sweet fruit and firm chocolate-toned structure through a long, warming finish. Decant for about one hour and serve with lamb, venison or slow-cooked beef.
Penfolds Grange 1990
$999.99Opulent yet precise, with blackberry, mulberry, plum and cassis layered with liquorice, espresso, dark chocolate, smoked meat, eucalyptus, cedar and leather. Full-bodied and concentrated, the palate combines ripe dark fruit with firm velvety tannins, freshness and excellent balance. The finish is long, spicy and complex; decant for two to three hours and serve with lamb, venison or beef.
Penfolds Grange 2001
$999.99Rich and still youthful, with blackberry, blackcurrant and cherry layered with dark chocolate, liquorice, vanilla, mint, sandalwood and dried fruit. Full-bodied and concentrated, the palate is fleshy yet controlled, with fine ripe tannins that turn gently chalky through a long, smooth finish. Decant for about three hours and serve with veal chops or lamb.
D’Arenberg 2024 Hermit Crab
$35.99A fragrant white with pineapple, melon, white peach and citrus blossom. The palate is clean and fresh, adding pear, stone fruit, lemon curd and a distinctive touch of pickled ginger. Bright acidity carries the flavours through a long, refreshing finish, making this an engaging partner for aromatic Asian dishes, grilled prawns or simply prepared white fish.
Koerner 2018 Rolle
$52.99A Clare Valley Vermentino with savoury texture and a mineral rather than overtly fruity profile. Melon, lemongrass and wild herbs meet saline notes and tight acidity on a flinty finish.
Massena 2017 Fruit Salad Block Field Blend
$38.99Rose petal, candied citrus and ripe stone fruit open with ginger, exotic spice and a light green-herbal note. The palate is sleek and electric, balancing juicy fruit with perky acidity and a fine saline mineral edge. Light on its feet yet texturally detailed, it finishes fresh and persistent, with aromatic lift and a gently savoury close.
Tyrrell’s 2025 Hunter Valley Semillon
$33.99Lime zest and lemongrass lead, with cut fennel, white peach and a cool mineral note adding detail. Light bodied and very dry, the palate is taut and precise, driven by piercing citrus and brisk acidity. A long, saline finish brings a gentle pithy bite. Serve with oysters, prawns, fresh goat cheese or herb-led salads.
Somos 2022 Biodynamic Vermentino McLaren Vale
$49.99Citrus blossom, green apple and ripe lemon lead, followed by white peach, sea spray and a faint nutty note. The palate is crisp yet layered, with bright acidity running through a creamy, lees-shaped texture. A gentle savoury edge and briny minerality keep the fruit precise, carrying citrus and orchard fruit into a clean, refreshing finish.
