You have to love Australia’s red wines. If for nothing else than the sheer simplicity of twisting off a baker’s dozen of screw-caps as opposed to bedding out to fight with so many corks. OK that’s not a tremendous motivation to get you to try these win...

On the palate this is both chewy and fresh with acids that seem a bit high all things considered. Theres lovely balance and purity to the black currant fruit on the palate which shows a little minty quality on the back end. The finish is nice... Read More

Fermented by indigenous yeasts, with barrel ageing for added texture to the palate. An interesting aromatic profile, not your typical Viognier. Notes of white peach, sweet capsicum and ginger spice? It has a robust,... Read More
