The Wine
Highly prized in Bordeaux blends, Petit Verdot is renowned for its full body and violet aromas. Petit Verdot thrives in warm climates where its plum, blackberry and blueberry flavours predominate. Other notes include violets, lilac, lavender and sage which combine beautifully with vanilla and mocha from its oak. Dry, high tannin, bold fruits and firm acidity make this a great wine for the winter. Make it now and let it age.

July - LOW STOCK
Besito (Macabeo - Muscat), Spain

Made in 8 weeks
Price: $264.99 in store/$195.99 at home

The Wine

We have become familiar with the Mancheula region of Spain; a hot interior plateau cooled at night by its altitude and onshore breezes. We have also been impressed by the Macabeo grape. The version includes a touch of Muscat sweetness.  Everyone hates the s-word, but this is still a throughly dry wine. Citrus ad honeysuckle aromas combine with a plate of peach, tropical fruit and citrus. Don't miss it.

December - SOLD OUT
Shiraz, Cabernet, Malbec - Australia

Made in 8 weeks
Price: $264.99 in store/$195.99 at home

The Wine

A perfect start with a chance to enjoy a December red with the extra depth of grape skins. Deep, rich color, this is the perfect example of the benefis of belending grapes. There are  aromas of ripe berries mingled with delicate hints of toasty oak and cedar. On the palate, the wine leads with intense luscious dark fruits. Undertones of black pepper and smoky nuances further enrich its aromatic profile, lending depth and complexity to every sip. The addition of Malbec is a intriguing twist to this wine. Malbec is grown at low acreages in Australia where is expresses the quintessential Malbec style. Although described as giving flavours of plum, blackberry, vanilla, tobacco and cocoa, in trust, it is unique.

January - LIMITED STOCK
Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc
Veneto, Abruzzo, Italy

Made in 8 weeks 
Price: $264.99 in store/$195.99 at home 

The Wine

Although regularly drunk as a single varietal, its crisp acidity, floral notes and green apple make Pinot Grigio  an excellent blending wine. We have a seen many SPECIAL EDITIONS with other grapes, but Sauvignon Blanc is new. Essentially, this Pinot Grigio is the life and soul of the party. The natural crisp acidity is enlivened by ripe melon, lively citrus and a complex minerality to make this one of the most exciting wines we've seen in years.  The elevation and south facing slopes of Veneto provide the classic warm day/cold night combination to produce excellent grapes. Abruzzo is similar in many ways, with the sea breeze providing increased minerality.


Sweetness: Dry

The Wine

Southern Italy and Sicily are home to full-bodied complex, high quality red wines. Italy has overcome its addiction to bulk production, and its ancient vines and arid conditions allow it to produce amazing wine. Nero D'Avola is an indigenous varietal that has always been grown and drunk by the local population. This full-bodied wine demands attention. There is ripe plum, succulent cherry, toasted oak, and a hint of pepper. Even sweet tannins. Intense flavours, robust, lingering and unforgettable. And of course a full-bodied wine like this comes with grape skins.

Tempranillo and Grenache represent classic Spanish grapes, but younger vintners are increasing using Cabernet Sauvignon is add depth and balance to their wines. Rich is really the word for this wine, which overflows with blackcurrant, raspberry and dark fruits. It's medium body and light oak allow the fabulous fruit flavours to take centre stage.
