Wolf Blass Red Label Unoaked Chardonnay 2011 /

Vibrant expressions of melon, citrus and peach. Red Label respects and retains the sanctity of chardonnay in it's natural order. The ripest of palates with creamy textures and tangy, mineral finish, drink today with whiting or Al fresco.

Warburn Premium Reserve Cabernet Merlot 2010 /

A fine compromise between the romance of Merlot flesh and gothic aromaticness of Cabernet, all made possible by the selfless efforts of enthusiastic Barossa growers. Tantalizing cherry to the nose and palate, mixed berry, espresso and chocolate around a core of sleek, assertive tannins and finely polished, limousine oak.

McWilliams Inheritance Fruitwood White /

Shameless the way they package some pretty decent fruity wine into a plain wrapper with a very good price to catch all corners of the market. Effusive white built for those with sugar coated palates, fruit driven, toothsome and appealing.

Watershed Shades Sauvignon Semillon 2010 /

Weaving bouquets of stonefruit and nettle, flint and grapefruit before a palate of lemongrass, snow pea and gooseberry. Offering reams of charming Magaret River regionality, crisp and fruit driven in classical dry white styling.

Jasper Hill Occams Razor Shiraz 2009 /

Juicy, savoury palate of meats and soil, coffee and crushed leaf. Inseparably integrated with fine pencilled oak and garnished by ripe berries, a solid structure supported by pliant tannins. A splendid match with venison, goat or squab.

Pierre Deville Sparkling Brut /

A refreshing, light and creamy style with traces of mineral, boulangerie and peach, lingers long on the clean, dry fruity finish.

Knappstein Watervale Ackland Riesling 2010 /

Entangled within it's own perfumery of fruit and dandy florals lies a heart of lanolin and quartz minerality that distinguishes it as being something very special indeed. A loosely knit palate of oranges and honeycomb, french vanilla and rumbaba, limes, chalk, apples and pears, affable acids and gentle dryness.

Hardys Sir James Pinot Chardonnay 2005 /

Enough here to occupy you through several courses of a meal. Elements of quince and fig to match consomme, stonefruits and almond to enhance a fish, enough structure and red fruit to match with meats, an intense compote of berries and crisp citrus to accompany dessert.

Twin Islands Sauvignon Blanc 2010 /

Milky palate, thistle and lychee nose and lingering finish. A generous, substantial pallette of Marlborough fruits.

Hardys No Preservatives Cabernet 2010 /

Not bad for a sensitive new age cabernet. Shows juicy plum and cassis with subtle cinnamon oak notes, some chocolateyness and a myriad - count em - of ripe berry flavours. Impressively balanced, refreshing acidity and deeply flavoursome, you won't notice its clean & green credentials, drink purely on it's merits.

Pizzini Arneis 2010 /

Opens to intense floral notes, fruits and lime blossom, ripe pears and kiwifruit, apples and peach. Soft white stonefruit and melons on a creamy textured palate, kept bright by a fresh crisp acid and minerality, coalescing into a wine of finesse and interest.

Knappstein Shillings Classic Clare 2008 /

Attractive currant, cherry and raspberry on the nose and palate with hints of creamy, marshmallow oak and a tad of licorice. Gentle tannins complete the package, an easy drinking style with ripe and juicy, yet savoury lingering fruit notes.

Yalumba Octavius Old Vine Shiraz 2006 /

This is the biggy by Yalumba, the one that lets you know you're at the same table as the true aficianados. Brooding aromas of dark heady fruits, a sweet and savoury palate of plum with soy, tapenade with Xmas spice, cosseted by lavish, limousine oak. Polished and complex yet uncannily integrated.

Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz 2005 /

It's not what you're given in life that matters, but what you do with it. This year's Bin 128 takes things a step further by introducing a sleekness and sophistication of oak handling that could easily be matched by some of the nation's top flagship reds Rating? 5 Stars.

Yellow Tail Jimmy Watson Cabernet 2003 /

Mulberry and blackcurrants on the attack working in close support with some savoury tobacco leafy oak. Never lets up, this is one engaging wine, intensely perfumed and maximum cabernet fruit. A bargain at the price and empirically satisfying.

Jean Pierre Sparkling Rose /

Plump, juicy and pink with just the right amount of acid to keep the lovely ripe fruit characters honest.
