Classic-aged Hunter Sem. Nice freshness, acid well integrated, texture galore. Perfect cooked seafood drinking white. A black moron with garlic butter, rhe n Morton bay bug pasta. Worth the wait.

Me like, traditional second ferment in the bottle method with a splash of Fiano juice to add the sweetness naturally. Textured, dry & yet fresh.
Fine fine bubblies makes this a very pleasurable experience.

Macedon Ranges, 470,000 yr old volcanic sol, small pocket site very much contributing to this delicious little number. Bright and vibrant, this is truly a gorgeous representation of what a aussy Dolcetto should be.

A different take to your more classic Sardinian style.
5 days on skins, 30% barrel ferment in 8r old French oak, on lees until bottling. Fantastic seafood pairing.

What Fiano from Australia should taste like.
Chardonnay body, Fiano harmony.
Volcanic soils, small batch VIc vineyard & superb winemaking makes this truly a taste sensation experience. If you find it, try it.

Another exceptional showcasing from one of Colin Kay last few vintages as head winemaker. Difficult vintage, but doesn’t not show here. Balanced dark fruits to silky tannin harmony. Minimal sediment, so you’re good for 97% of the btle. If you like your aged McLarens to show that fruit it’s known for, drink now! You won’t be disappointed.

Highly recommend it with tassy MB4 scotch BBQ steaks with a roasted cauliflower salad. It’s all about the wine right?

After a 2hr decant the amarone gods delivered.
Great vintage, singing on the tongue & a finish to die for. Pretty good with pizza’s, because why wouldn’t you.

I’m back… and yes I drank my last btle ever.
I thought it was good this time last year, and I’m here to tell you it’s on point now. For those who are cellaring, crack a btle - you won’t be disappointed.
Enjoy

In its drinking window now, needs a hr decant to open due to high acl/tannins. It’s a ok monte, doesn’t have the finesse of a true Mediterranean climate monte.

Give this champagne some age, and it’s to die for.
Fine integrated bubbles, fruit and texture length.
Dangerously easy to drink! On a beach with Comte.
