Wine
Quinta Do Sil 2021 Godello Valdeorras
An expressive Godello with ripe pear, mirabelle plum and loquat, layered over aromatic herbs, green tea and a subtle hydrocarbon note. The palate has confident structure and a gently creamy texture, balanced by enough freshness to keep the fruit precise. Persistent and silky on the finish, it combines generous orchard-fruit character with savoury, mineral detail.
40 Knots 2019 Gamay
Orofino 2021 Gamay
Nichol 2021 The Village Syrah
Blue Mountain 2025 Estate Cuvee Sauvignon Blanc
Lemon and gooseberry lead a restrained, flavourful profile with a textured leesy middle and a fresh herbal undertone. Firm acidity gives the palate definition without making it severe, while citrus and savoury notes remain clear through the finish. Serve well chilled with oysters, grilled fish, asparagus or fresh goat cheese.
Rathjen 2018 Pinot Auxerrois
A Sunday in August 2024 Carbonic Orange
Fresh, aromatic tropical fruit leads a bright, lightly textured palate. A blend of Epicure and Siegerrebe receives a short maceration, giving the wine gentle grip while preserving lift and immediacy. The fruit stays vivid through a clean, lively finish, with enough structure for the table. Serve well chilled with mezze, grilled vegetables, soft cheeses or lightly spiced dishes.
Blue Mountain 2025 Estate Cuvee Pinot Blanc
Boxwood and chamomile open into melon, white peach and a cool mineral note. Full in texture but held by fresh acidity, the palate brings citrus and peach together with measured richness. The finish is long, clean and gently savoury. Serve with shellfish, roast chicken, soft cheeses or creamy vegetable dishes.
Blue Mountain 2022 Pinot Gris
Citrus, mandarin and blossom open a bright, expressive nose. The palate is richer and denser than the aromas suggest, layering orange and lemon fruit over a clean line of acidity. Apple and gentle spice emerge toward the finish, which remains crisp, balanced and persistent, giving the wine both immediate freshness and quiet depth.
Paltrinieri NV Piria Lambrusco di Sorbara
Venturini Baldini NV Montelocco Lambrusco Emilia IGP
Deep ruby with violet reflections, offering juicy black cherry and a lifted note of wild herbs. The palate is fresh and gently semi-dry, with soft bubbles, lively acidity and light tannins giving shape to the ripe fruit. A subtle savoury edge keeps the sweetness measured, leading to a clean, easy finish that remains bright rather than heavy.
Zanatta NV Glenora Fantasia Brut
Green apple leads the bouquet, framed by a stream of fine, persistent bubbles and a clean, brisk palate. Extended lees ageing brings subtle breadth and a lightly savoury dimension while the fruit remains fresh and focused. Distinctive and polished, this traditional-method sparkling wine is a natural aperitif and an excellent partner for oysters, smoked salmon, fried chicken or creamy cheeses.
Synchromesh 2023 Storm Haven Vineyard Gibson-Block 3 Blue Label Riesling
Mango, candied ginger and fleshy ripe peach lead a concentrated, highly aromatic Riesling. The palate is rich and viscous but never heavy, driven by intense, complex acidity and a fine mineral thread from decomposed granite and sandy gravel soils. Dried apricot carries into an exceptionally long, seamless off-dry finish. Serve with spicy dishes, blue cheese or fruit-led desserts.
The Hatch 2018 Crown + Thieves Scoundrels Punch
Dark berries, black cherry and plum lead into cedar, cocoa and quiet spice. The palate is full-bodied and layered, with blackcurrant, bramble, dark chocolate and savoury herbs carried by firm but refined tannins. Toasted oak lingers through a long, smooth finish. Decant briefly and serve with grilled flank steak, lamb shank, mushroom ragu or aged cheddar.
Le Vieux Pin 2021 Syrah Cuvee Classique 375mL Okanagan Valley
O’Rourke’s Peak 2018 Grüner Veltliner
Tropical pineapple and stone fruit lead, with white pepper giving both the nose and palate a distinctive savoury lift. Lychee and honeycomb add a gently rounded middle, while thyme, lime and fine minerality bring focus through the finish. Expressive yet well defined, this is an aromatic white with enough freshness and detail to remain poised at the table.
Lake Breeze 2018 Meritage
Plum cake and dark berries lead, layered with salted caramel and aromatic spice. The palate is dry and sleek, with a distinct herbal thread beneath toasted spice, espresso and dark chocolate. Savoury and fragrant, the blend carries its richness with polished shape rather than heaviness. Serve with roast beef, lamb or mushroom dishes.
Chapoutier 2019 Banyuls
Deep garnet colour leads into a generous fortified red with black cherry, raspberry and plum at the centre. Cocoa, dried herbs and a gentle savoury note add dimension, while bright acidity keeps the sweetness composed. The finish is smooth, persistent and lightly spiced. Serve cool with dark chocolate, blue cheese or a fruit tart.
