Selection
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.
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.
Yalumba 2012 The Caley Cabernet Shiraz
A composed Cabernet–Shiraz blend with cassis, violet and rose petal, followed by iodine, cedar and a fine mineral note. The palate is deep and seamless, bringing Cabernet structure together with the breadth of Shiraz. Chalky tannins and fresh acidity shape the long finish, giving the wine the balance for roast beef, lamb or slow-cooked dishes.
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.
Cobos 2022 Bramare Chardonnay
A broad, textured Chardonnay with ripe peach, pear and citrus peel, followed by hazelnut, cream and a quiet flinty note. The palate is generous but controlled, with fresh acidity giving definition to the fruit and subtle oak character. It finishes long and balanced, making a polished match for roast chicken, lobster, squash or richer seafood dishes.
Bodega Noemmia 2021 A Lisa Malbec
Dark berries, cherry, plum and violet meet subtle cocoa, mineral and dried-herb notes. The palate is medium-bodied and fruit-focused, with juicy freshness, balanced fine-grained tannins and a smooth, persistent finish. The blend centres on Malbec, supported by small amounts of Merlot and Petit Verdot, giving the ripe Patagonian fruit additional structure and savoury detail without losing its approachable character.
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
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.
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.
El Porvenir 2019 Bonarda
A fruit-forward Argentine red with ripe blackberry, plum and raspberry. The palate is smooth and approachable, with juicy fruit, gentle structure and a fresh finish that makes the wine easy to enjoy without extended cellaring. Versatile at the table, it works particularly well with grilled meats, tomato-based pasta, sausages or firm cheeses.
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.
La Liquiere 2019 Les Amandiers Rouge
A generous Languedoc red with redcurrant, strawberry and blackcurrant, layered with spice and garrigue. The palate is full and fruit-forward, though aromatic freshness and silky tannins keep it balanced. Smooth through the finish, it is an easy match for grilled meat, ratatouille, stuffed vegetables, herbed sausages or other robust Mediterranean dishes.
Dupre 2020 Morgon Cote De Py
A lively Morgon with wild strawberry and raspberry, accented by white pepper, agave and dried herbs. The fresh, medium-bodied palate is framed by silky, polished tannins that coat without weighing down the fruit. Juicy and vibrant through the finish, it leaves a savoury herbal note and suits charcuterie, roast poultry, grilled pork or mushrooms.
Dr. H. Thanisch 2012 Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese
Honey and gentle apple open on the nose, leading into a light-bodied palate with a measured balance of sweetness and acidity. Mineral-infused Bosc pear sits at the centre, joined by nectarine and a subtle touch of brown sugar. Refreshing and composed, the flavours linger steadily through the finish.
