Montalto 2016 Single Vineyard Tuerong Block Pinot Noir
A classically savoury Pinot Noir, opening with dark cherry, plum and forest-floor aromas. Dried herbs, black earth and a subtle touch of aniseed add depth as the wine develops in the glass. The palate is concentrated yet composed, with black-tea tannins carrying the dark fruit through a persistent finish. Decant gently and pair with roast duck, mushrooms or herb-crusted pork.
Paxton 2017 Thomas Block Grenache
A bright and lifted Grenache with fresh strawberry and red cherry joined by crushed rose petal and a dusting of white pepper. The palate is rounded and buoyant, its juicy red fruit held in shape by lively acidity and soft, sandy tannins. Light enough to serve slightly chilled yet full of detail, it suits charcuterie, mild cheese, grilled vegetables or simply seasoned poultry.
Warramate 2017 Syrah
A graceful cool-climate Syrah, opening with violets, ripe plum and a cool wash of blue fruit. Pink peppercorn and subtle stalky spice bring savoury lift, while the medium-bodied palate is succulent, smooth and finely layered. Gentle firmness through the tannins keeps the generous fruit precise. Serve just below room temperature with lamb, grilled mushrooms or peppered steak.
Penfolds Grange 2013
Powerful and intensely youthful, with blueberry, redcurrant, plum and mulberry joined by coffee bean, chocolate, allspice, Szechuan pepper and dry herbs. Richly textured and dense, the palate combines bright fruit with remarkably smooth tannins, precise balance and a long, spicy finish. Give it about four hours in a decanter and serve with roast lamb or beef.
d’Arenberg 2018 The Laughing Magpie Shiraz Viognier
A fragrant Shiraz-led red with blackberry, plum and black cherry at the core, brightened by a small portion of co-fermented Viognier. Peach and apricot add aromatic lift, while peppery spice and savoury detail give the palate shape. Generous yet harmonious, it balances ripe dark fruit with freshness and fine structure, offering immediate appeal alongside grilled lamb, roast duck or richly seasoned vegetables.
Hesketh Ebenezer 2018 Grenache
Bright and generous, with red cherry, strawberry and cranberry fruit lifted by bergamot and a thread of dried herbs. The palate is supple and rounded, bringing ripe berry richness into balance with earthy spice and a gently savoury line. Full-flavoured without feeling heavy, it finishes long and composed, making an easy match for roast pork, charred vegetables or herb-crusted lamb.
Giant Steps 2023 Pinot Noir Yarra Valley
Ripe raspberry and black cherry lead, joined by wild herbs and crushed violet. The palate is silken and gently sappy, with concentrated fruit carried by bright natural acidity and fine tannins. Depth builds without heaviness, and the flavours remain persistent through a composed, savoury finish. A graceful match for duck, salmon, mushrooms or roast chicken.
Tait 2018 Ball Buster
A full-bodied Barossa blend driven by Shiraz, with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon adding roundness and structure. Dark berry fruit and savoury spice lead into a rich, juicy palate, while time in seasoned French and American oak brings gentle toast rather than overt sweetness. Balanced and persistent, it is built for generous food: grilled steak, braised beef or smoky sausages.
Torbreck 2020 Woodcutter’s Shiraz
A generous Barossa Shiraz built around fleshy plum, dark cherry and a hint of cola, with chocolate, menthol and toasty oak adding depth. The palate is silky and full, showing the producer's signature richness while powerful, woody tannins frame the fruit. A warm, savoury finish makes it a natural partner for slow-cooked beef, grilled lamb or smoky barbecue dishes. Decant briefly before serving.
Catena Zapata 2018 Adrianna White Stones
From just 27 rows of a high-altitude parcel in Gualtallary, this Chardonnay is shaped by white-stone alluvial soils, cool nights and naturally low yields. Lime, orange blossom and restrained orchard fruit meet a precise mineral line, brisk acidity and a long, stony finish. Fermented in French oak with partial malolactic conversion, then aged 12-16 months in seasoned barrels, it remains finely textured rather than overtly oaky. Unfined and unfiltered.
Vina Alicia 2006 Cuarzo
Led by Petit Verdot with small additions of Grenache and Carignan, this is a deep, structured red with earthy black fruit, wild hedgerow and subtle woodland notes. The palate is powerful but finely balanced, with dense fruit, firm seamless tannins and a mineral freshness that keeps the wine composed. A long, measured finish and savoury complexity make it well suited to roasted or slow-braised meats.
La Posta 2022 Tinto Red Blend
Andeluna 1300 2023 Malbec Uco Valley
Violet leads into red plum, strawberry and blackberry, with a subtle mineral note beneath the fruit. Smooth and medium-bodied, the palate has ripe flavour without excess weight, supported by soft tannins and fresh balance. The finish remains floral, dark-fruited and gently savoury. Serve with grilled beef, empanadas or smoky vegetables.
Mendel 2020 Malbec
Black cherry, raspberry and blackberry lead a deep, generous profile, with violet, sweet oak, espresso, licorice and vanilla in support. The palate is full-bodied and dense, layering black raspberry and plum over roasted herbs and a silky, velvety texture. Rich but balanced, it suits ribeye, lamb, grilled vegetables or firm aged cheeses.
L’Esprit de Chacayes 2022 Malbec
Floral violet and fresh black cherry lead into a rich, mouth-filling Malbec. Crunchy cranberry and a lift of orange zest keep the fruit lively, while warm spice gathers through a savoury, complex finish. Its generous texture suits firm cheeses and slow-roasted meats, yet the bright fruit and freshness keep the palate composed.
Luca 2018 Pinot Noir
High-altitude Pinot Noir with wild strawberry, red cherry and raspberry at the centre, shaded by orange peel, cola root, subtle leather and savoury spice. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity, fine structure and a composed, gently earthy finish. Twelve months in French oak adds polish and texture without overwhelming the fruit, preserving the wine's energetic, elegant character.
Decero 2017 Remolinos Vineyard Malbec
Violet, red cherry and raspberry aromas lead a silky, medium-bodied Malbec, with darker berry fruit and subtle spice adding depth. Fresh acidity gives the wine a fine backbone, while supple tannins keep its ripe character polished and balanced. The finish is elegant, gently savoury and persistent. Serve with grilled beef, lamb, empanadas or roasted mushrooms.
Decero 2020 Malbec Flight Of The Condor
A vibrant, fruit-led Malbec with blackberry and plum at the core, lifted by violet and a fresh line of acidity. The palate is generous but neatly shaped, with soft tannins, subtle spice and restrained oak adding polish rather than weight. Fruit from elevated Mendoza vineyards brings brightness and clarity, making this an easy match for grilled beef, lamb or smoky vegetables.
Chateau Maucoil 2019 Chateauneuf-du-Pape
Sun-warmed strawberry and red cherry lead, sharpened by cassis and blackberry and layered with brambly herbs. The palate is richly concentrated and penetrating, yet zesty and vibrant, with dark fruit, spice and savoury depth held by fine, tautly composed tannins. Generous in scale but balanced, finishing with freshness and precision.
Mas Gabinele 2021 Carignan
Ruby-red and generously aromatic, with crushed strawberry and Ente plum joined by black pepper and liquorice. The palate has real depth and body without losing its sense of freshness, carrying the ripe red fruit and savoury spice through a long, fragrant finish. Bold enough for grilled foods, yet polished and easy to enjoy.
