After being without it for almost 2 years, we welcome back this magnificent bubbly that has been with us for over 10 years. We get more requests for this than any other bubbly that we’ve ever stocked. And of course, once you try it, it’s quite understandable. It is an unpretentious, light, dry, very refreshing and crisp bubbly with lovely acidity, refined bubbles and ideal for big functions or just for the weekend! You can drink it on its own, you can mix it with orange juice, cassis etc. At the price it is unequal value for money... more »
This is one of those super deals that do not come round that often but when they do, you should take it! Selected from old vines, this Chardonnay delivers an array of butterscotch, freshly baked bread but yet maintaining a lovely freshness and fruit flavours. Frankly you would expect to pay close to the $20 mark for a Chardonnay of this quality. It is ideal with white meats or fish, drinking very well now but will also keep for a year or two. Excellent value at $13.95... more »
Another exceptional offering for this very much underrated producer, it came to us by accident trying some top New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and this just happened to come out on top. Fruity, flinty and aromatic, a barrage of gooseberry and lychee but dry with a lengthy middle palate, succulence and balance, what really good old fashioned Sauvignon Blanc used to be and the main thing really, all for $13.95. An absolute bargain... more »

The brand new vintage of this lovely and excellent value Sav/Blanc, when it came to the crunch and the all important value for money it delivers hands down.

At $16.95 per bottle it is hard to pass considering the quality of many commercial ones on the same price bracket... more »

The brand new vintage from this outstanding producer that most of you will be familiar with, situated in Griffith, N.S.W. This is an instant stunner with its plum, dark berry fruit appeal but yet emphasizing its cooler growing conditions therefore does not exhibit overly ripe or aggressive tannins. On the palate it has wonderful intensity with very careful handling of oak which allows its typical terroir and natural characters of the wine to come through. This is an excellent partner for a Sunday roast or BBQ lamb. Drink now or cellar for the next 2-3 years... more »

Rosso di Toscana or simply put, red from Tuscany, as the name indicates can vary a lot but this is one of the best value for money reds from Straccali. It’s quite unbelievable the sheer quality, flawless winemaking and accuracy that they put into this wine even though it is quite a straightforward and simple wine. 2018 is a good vintage in Tuscany, this is ripe with hints of grilled pancetta, prosciutto and a touch of salt.

It's good to see that finally Pinot Noir winemakers in this country are waking up to the fact that not everybody wishes to spend $40-$50 to get a decent Pinot Noir. We were quite taken back by the quality of this wine, frankly we thought it would be between $40-$50 until we knew the price. It is a soft savoury and plumy Pinot Noir, in other words what Pinot Noir should be like. The 2018 vintage even though it was a good one, is ready for drinking now. Lovely cherry and soft plumy flavours, slightly savoury, well balanced oak and wonderful forrest floor characters. Having tried this alongside other Pinot Noirs at $30 let me tell you, it delivers! All of this at the price of $19.95... more »

The fruit for this wine was grown in two vineyards in the Bridge Pa and Crownthorpe sub regions. A combination of Mendoza and Clone 15 provide differing flavour profiles, which helps to increase the complexity of the finished wine. These mature vines are cropped at low yield levels to give intensely flavoured grapes. This is a well-balanced wine showing ripe nectarine and summer fruit characters, with a creamy palate accented by elements of toasty oak on the finish. Try it with your favourite fish or poultry dish... more »
A stunning blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre that typifies what Ventoux is all about.

Having known this particular Chateau for many years, we are surprised that we haven’t gotten around to importing it before. A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from an exceptionally good vintage, the wine exhibits dark berry fruit, a touch of cassis and dust yet with lovely acidity, vibrancy and freshness. Drinking beautifully now, just let it breath for a good couple of hours so it opens up to come into its own. Magical... more »
If one thing’s for sure, Prosecco is loved by all! But there is Prosecco and Prosecco and Ruggeri is definitely one of our favourites.
Located in the famed Santo Stefano village in the heart of the Prosecco wine region, the Ruggeri winery is overlooking the dramatic, dream-like beauty of the steep slopes dotted with century old Glera vines.
This splendid hilly area enjoys a unique blend of climate, soil and exposure producing the best quality grapes of the entire appellation hence resulting in wines with the finest texture, concentration and the greatest length.
Ruggeri is a family owned winery with a centuries-old tradition in viticulture but it’s also considered a benchmark for quality Prosecco.
Ruggeri’s beautiful Prosecco is bursting with fruity and floral aromas of green apple, pear and lemon finishing with a touch of almond which adds complexity. Crisp acidity and persistent fine bubbles lead into a dry, refreshing finish. In 2 words? Graceful and vibrant.
Perfect as an aperitif and ideal with fish, this wine goes particularly well with hors d’oeuvres and light first courses... more »
The brothers Gaetano and Vito Marangelli fell in love with Salento, a beautiful region at the Southern end of Apulia in Southern Italy, often referred to as the "heel" of the Italian "boot".
They had the dream to combine 3 different realities: a winery, a restaurant and an organic farm and so in 2002 Menhir was born.
Menhir is situated in Minervino di Lecce, a hidden little town with a lot of history. It hosts, in fact, intact archaeological sites and it’s famous for its scattered upright rough monoliths called menhirs, hence the name.
The Sale Bianco is a blend of two native aromatic varieties, Fiano and Malvasia that is bursting with fresh and fragrant aromas, notes of exotic fruit, mango, melon and peach and hints of white flowers.
On the palate it’s fresh and crisp but with a nice creamy texture and a subtle almond note which adds another dimension to the wine.
It’s the perfect companion for raw fish and fresh cheeses but also ideal with ethnic dishes like couscous... more »
