Tahbilk 1998 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Australian Red
A mature Cabernet Sauvignon of remarkable freshness and structure, led by mulberry, dark berries and a cool thread of mint. Coffee, cedar, dark chocolate and polished French oak add savoury depth without overwhelming the fruit. The palate remains rich and firmly shaped, with dry, persistent tannins carrying the wine through a long finish. Decant carefully and pair with roast beef or aged hard cheese.
Paysan 2020 Eh Bien! Pinot Noir
Australian Red
A floral, textural Pinot Noir with spicy blueberry, smoked meat and a dark liquorice note running through the palate. Medium-bodied and lightly cloudy, it combines generous fruit with savoury detail and a gently earthy edge. Wild fermentation and extended skin contact in small clay amphorae bring supple structure and freshness. Serve just cool with charcuterie, roast mushrooms or grilled pork.
Gemtree 2019 Uncut Shiraz
Australian Red
A deeply coloured, youthful Shiraz with generous dark berry fruit, warm spice and well-judged oak in close harmony.

Its structure is firm but measured, with more complexity set to emerge over time; decanting now will help the layered, savoury detail come forward.
Paxton 2017 Thomas Block Grenache
Australian Red
A bright and lifted Grenache with fresh strawberry and red cherry joined by crushed rose petal and a dusting of white pepper.

Australian Red
A graceful cool-climate Syrah, opening with violets, ripe plum and a cool wash of blue fruit.

Catena Zapata 2018 Adrianna White Stones
Argentinian White
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.

Argentinian Red
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.

Argentinian Red
A vibrant, fruit-led Malbec with blackberry and plum at the core, lifted by violet and a fresh line of acidity.

Dupre 2020 Morgon Cote De Py
French Red
A lively Morgon with wild strawberry and raspberry, accented by white pepper, agave and dried herbs.
