Buller Wines Calliope Chardonnay 2023

This cool climate Chardonnay from Victoria's King Valley is a classic representation: built to last with fresh, tightly wound layers of peach, fine citrus and just-ripe melons, and a creamy texture.

Finish is dry, balanced and long. Crafted from hand-picked fruit, released only in limited quantities and only in exceptional years, it's great value.

Pairing and Cellaring

A wine that's simply perfect with salad Niçoise. Cellar for 3-6 years.

Gomersal Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

This wine is juist starting to come into it's own and proves that Shiraz isn't the only thing the Barossa excels at. Elegant aromatics of blackberry, tomato leaf, balsamic, cigar box and earth.

The palate is regal, savoury and long with silky and refined tannins and lines of black cherry, blackberry and fresh black currants.

Pairing and Cellaring

Savour this with a rich charcuterie board of Spanish jamón and manchego cheese. Cellar for 5-20 years.

Jones Winery Malbec 2021

A fresh, crunchy and light interpretation of the variety, this Malbec is loaded with sweet layers of aromatics: raspberry, strawberry, rhubarb and black cherry, with hints of tar and roses.

The palate is silky and medium bodied with a soft push of earthy cherries, sweet and sour raspberries, and a very fine, lingering finish. This is a great barbeque wine.
