Paracombe Pinot Noir from the Adelaide Hills has lifted, alluring aromas of wild strawberry, cherry and toffee notes. Bright crimson in colour, the palate offers gentle, lingering flavours of cherry and plum with fine tannins and subtle spice on the finish. Some real grown up Pinot.

A fresh and fruity Bardolino made from Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. The wine is medium bodied with notes of sour cherries, blackcurrants and a hint of black pepper. Soft and supple in the mouth, this wine has a long and fruity finish.

This wine is made from the somewhat lesser known grape variety Fiano by star winemaker Chris Hancock, McLaren Vale provides the ideal backdrop to support this fresh, bright style of white. Zesty citrus and nectarine with a nutty cashew like flavour. The palate is intense and layered. Perfect to just glug on a balmy Summer`s afternoon.

Les Cornuelles Old Vine Chinon is from the Loire grown over 2.5 hectares on a south-facing slope; the name is derived from the pieces of flat limestone found within the parcel. The vines here were planted in two separate stages; the youngest are now 60 years old, but the oldest vines are over 100 years.

This Marsanne is not so easy to pronounce, Leeuwenkuil, from the Voor-Pardeberg region, is the first cellar in South Africa to launch a Marsanne. The grapes were picked at lower sugar levels and whole bunches were pressed to maintain their crisp acidity and then it was aged for eight months in French oak.

Produced exclusively from Touriga Nacional grapes grown on the Company`s Douro Estate, Quinta da Gricha in Portugal. The wine is aged in 2nd and 3rd year French Oak for 12 months.

From the Loire, this Sauvignon Blanc from the lesser know Menetou-Salon area, comes from 15 year old vines planted on silt-based soils, located close to the wood that surrounds the château. Tank fermented, it is bottled early to retain the varietal purity of the fruit.

This Etna Rosso from Sicily, is surprisingly sturdy for a wine this pale. The grapes are grown in the volcanic soils around Mount Etna and provide a wonderful depth of minerality beneath the ripe cherry and wild strawberry fruit flavours.

This cool climate Semillon, from Elgin is matured for 10 months in old oak, it’s refreshing and clean with lime green hues with green apples and straw on the nose. The third wine, after her Pinot Noir and Chenin Blanc, from this innovative winemaker who hails from the States.
