D1 London Gin
ABOUT
D1 London Gin is a new class of luxury spirit from
the D.J. Limbrey Distilling Company, blending
traditional distilling craft with contemporary art.
The reversible bottle can be displayed in many ways
and provides a clear canvas for the iconic ‘Floral
Skull’, from the series of artworks by internationally
recognised, London-based Shanghainese artist
Jacky Tsai, originally made famous by Alexander
McQueen. Floral Skull is a striking commentary
on beauty and decay, masculine and feminine,
mortality and spirituality. Acclaimed globally, the
iconic skull series defies boundaries.
D1 is made using a very narrow cut of the purist
triple-distilled grain spirit at 96.2% ABV which is then
introduced to a copper pot still. A batch distillation
is then conducted with juniper berries and bespoke
botanicals including coriander, orange and lemon
peel, angelica root, cassia bark, orris, almond and
liquorice. Lastly added is a daring kick of nettles
selected especially for D1 by a master tea blender,
the nettles infused and blended with D1's botanicals
to create this unique 40% ABV gin of extraordinary
British character.

Cockies Ocean Road Pale Ale
A crisp, refreshing Blonde Ale, made with quality
Australian malted barley. Made from four malts:
Pilsener, Munich, Crystal and malted wheat, resulting
in a lovely golden colour and a light, balanced body.
Malt gives body and flavour to the beer. The slightly
sweet taste of the malt is offset by the bitterness of
the hops used, resulting in a pleasant ‘mouth feel’
and a lasting, refreshing taste. Three hop types are
used in the whirlpool (Cascade, Hallertauer and
Northern Brewer) giving some tropical fruits and
citrus flavours, and a smooth bitterness.

"The excitement I get out of brewing beer actually
started many years ago (around 1970) at Pharmacy
College in Melbourne. I stayed at Ridley College,
which was a dry theological college and you weren't
allowed to have beer or wine there, so I brewed my
beer secretly in a cupboard. It was shocking but
good fun and the alcohol content was quite high
which was certainly the main aim of the exercise!
I'd like to think I've matured since then - my main
aim now with my brews is to create appealing
aromas, complex flavours, freshness and
drinkability. That sounds pretty mature, doesn't it?"

ABOUT
Robe Town Brewery is a small artisan brewery
hand-crafting ales and malt beverages on a unique
wood-fired brewhouse. Founded by Maris Biezaitis
and his wife, Kristi, Maris makes use of several
historical and traditional brewing techniques,
which add a unique character to the brewery's
slow-brewed and full-flavour recipes.
Making real craft beer takes time: from gathering
sustainable firewood on local farms, to sealing the
wood-fire stove and kettle the old-school way with
rolled strips of rye dough; from chopping wood into
pieces just the right size, to weaving a filter-bed of
local straw for the oak-barrel mash tuns; from the
vigorous boil of all-natural ingredients caramelising
in the kettle, to the subtle nuances of shallow, open
fermentation; from hand-bottling and sealing every
single bottle produced, to weeks and months of
secondary fermentation and bottle-conditioning.
It’s a labour of love that requires patience and
dedication. Maris and Kristi focus this dedication
towards producing the best quality products,
using as many local ingredients as possible in a
sustainable manner.

Robe Town Brewery
"(...). It was George Lord Senior - variously referred
to as blacksmith, publican, brewer, farmer, pioneer,
colonialist and the "oldest inhabitant of Robe" - who
first began commercially brewing a local beer
(...). For reasons muted by history, his time in the
brewing game didn't last long, even though his pub
did, and mention of the Robe Town Brewery brand
all but vanished after 1869. Vanished, that is, until
Maris Biezaitis and his family moved in. Maris is
reviving Lord's vision for a local brew, by bundling
together all that's good in the world - hops, malt,
wood fire, creativity and small scale production - to
present a first-rate line-up of compelling beers.
Which takes us back to that amber ale I mentioned,
along with the red gum burning in the hearth. Maris'
brewing techniques all focus around wood fire and
sustainability, a one-two combo that is unique in
Australia. "Wood fire adds a bit of caramelisation to
the beer we make", says Maris, placing a log or two
in the brewery's warmhearted engine. "But there's
also something more - perhaps an intangible quality
- to using wood to fire the operation. The character
of the area, and warmth, become deeply embedded
in the product, because of the way it's made." Call it
magic, call it locality - call it what you will - but even
something as simple as a steak tastes different when
cooked on a wood-fired stovetop, as opposed to an
electric one. You can find the same taste deviations
between a regular craft beer and something from
Robe Town Brewery's stable. (...)."
Sally Wilson, Alquimie, 'The Australian Table'
supplement, Edition Six '15
Pale Ale
"(...) like looking into a honey jar. It's a deep, thirstquencher of an ale with a distinctive hops kick to
finish, brought on by a technique using late hop
additions. Flowers appear when you raise up a glass
and smell it, while the brew pours with a reassuring,
yet non-intrusive, slathering of froth."
Sally Wilson, Alquimie, 'The Australian Table'
supplement, Edition Six '15
Amber Ale
"(...) bursting at the seams with
chocolate and caramel on the nose.
It has a friendly sweetness and
liveliness in the mouth, that encourages
you to search out the full range of
tastes on offer. It's like caramelized
onions to look at but more indulgent,
like eating good chocolate, to taste."

¿¿HISTORY OR LEGEND?
ABOUT
Made with water, barley malt, hops, yeast, honey
and sugar, Rosita Original is a honey coloured
elegant ale yet rich with creamy and persistent
foam. The appearance is cloudy due to the
presence of yeast in the second fermentation. The
beer displays aromas such as banana and red
apple with subtle but complex notes of molasses.
The palate is sweet at first, full bodied, lifted and
complex with fruit, honey and toasted grain flavours.
The aftertaste is elegant, with a fine bitterness.
There is a very subtle balsamic note which leaves a
clean and fresh finish without any heaviness.
Rosita is an ideal aperitif but its subtle bitterness
and fruitiness also make it perfect to pair with blue
cheese, camembert, asparagus, artichokes, salads,
grilled vegetables and snails. White meat and oily
fish will also complement it well. You may want to
also consider inviting Rosita to your BBQ or Mexican
meal.
On Calle del Hospital (Hospital Street) in Tarragona, Spain, Jaume Comte managed a small detergent plant
called 'Jabones y Lejia la Gardenia' (La Gardenia Soaps and Bleach). In the town lived a young seamstress
named Nuria, 'the young girl with a ponytail'. Despite their social class differences and his family’s
disapproval, Jaume began seeing Nuria. The couple fell madly in love and wed, promising each other
eternal love! From that moment, Jaume’s family made life difficult for the couple. Jaume’s business had
begun to struggle and with 'special help' from his family, eventually, it fell into bankruptcy. Nuria returned to
sewing but struggled because her reputation had suffered due to the neglect from Jaume’s family. Jaume
also struggled in finding work, and by this time his family had disowned him. In the face of this adversity,
on April 23rd the couple’s Daughter was born! At birth Rosita barely cried, she had inherited her father’s
strong personality and her mother’s freshness. The day of Rosita’s Baptism, a relative and well know literary
in Tarragona, Domenech Guanse Salesas, encouraged the family to turn adversity into opportunity. He
suggested they move to Cuba and start a new life. Although the family found some success in Cuba, their
hearts were in Tarragona. Rosita and her family returned to Tarragona. Rosita began to mature, with brown
hair, nut-brown almond shaped eyes and full lips, she was strong willed and beautiful. With his experiences in
Cuba and determination to provide for his family, Jaume began brewing beer and with that
Rosita de Tarragona was born! A stylish yet simple beer determined to establish itself as a
premier Spanish Ale.

"From a small micro on the Mediterranean coastal town of Tarragona in southern Catalonia

“Development began in 2007 and its different varieties have managed to conquer chefs like
Ferran Adrià, Sergi Arola, Santi Santamaria and Carme Ruscalleda, who have included it in
their restaurants. Rosita’s fame has gone through the roof and small production is already
exported to Australia, Finland, Italy and Japan.”

2013 Angus The Bull Cabernet Sauvignon
"4/5 stars (a cut above), Value: smart buying, Best
with: Great rump steak"
"Dark fruited and densely packed with all the variety's
underlying power, this has a lot of muscle built in, chewy
tannins and heaps of blackberry fruit characters and
black olive savoury offsetting as well, and even with all
that going on there's quite a nice little bit of fresh fruit bite
at the final whistle. Open this with a good steak and you'll
get the perfect anti-frost combination."
HAMISH MACGOWAN
Tony Love, www.taste.com.au, June '15
Angus the Bull was a simple idea that just wouldn't
go away. It soon became an obsession and then
when it reached the point where it occupied all
his waking moments, Hamish finally decided
'enough was enough' and in 2003 he established
the Aberdeen Wine Company to turn this unique
concept into a reality. With all his energy now
focused entirely on creating a new brand positioned
to provide the ideal vinous accompaniment to
prime beef, he chose to work exclusively with
Cabernet Sauvignon and set about locating the
most promising parcels from across Victoria and
South Australia. Confident he had achieved the
required wine style and developed a very deliberate
marketing strategy backed up with some smart
packaging, Hamish launched his debut 2002 vintage
of 'The Bull' and hasn't looked back since.
"This is the second release of Angus The Bull cabernet
since it moved from being a multiregional blend to being
sourced from a single region: Central Victoria. The wine
remains its consistent, reliable, dependable self. It delivers
a clean, hearty serve of dark, berried flavour, its more
subtle tones of leather, earth and gum leaf but minor
players to that sure, berried core. This is ready to drink
now but it won’t fall over in a hurry; it has the balance to
sail on for quite a few years."

"(...) nicely full, a medium-bodied wine that works
beautifully with whatever you care to put on the grill."
"The style is meant from the ground up to accompany
barbecued meat, particularly beef. The tannins are soft,
the bouquet is a combination of oak flavours (vanilla,
caramel) and herbal aromas from the grapes. The palate
is nicely full, a medium-bodied wine that works beautifully
with whatever you care to put on the grill. It has a fair
amount of mint in it, and I would think it would work
equally well with lamb or beef. If there’s nothing you like
more than a quiet evening in, a good steak with maybe a
baked potato and salad, this is a wine you should try."

ARCHER Heathcote Shiraz
ABOUT
The ARCHER project was put together by renowned
Australian wine writer, Nick Stock, in 2004. Having
made Heathcote shiraz with his brother under their
TWOFOLD label for a couple of years and tasted
nigh on every wine being made in the region, he felt
there was the potential to deliver better quality and
better value Heathcote shiraz. The first ARCHER was
released from the 2005 vintage.
NICK STOCK
“I’m aiming for approachability, elegance and
complexity. Wine for drinking.”
Nick Stock
Heathcote, Victoria
Established in 2004
Made by Nick Stock
The 2013 season was ideal in Heathcote with lower yields across all clones of Shiraz and grapes harvested in perfect
condition. After partial destemming, each parcel was fermented with a high proportion of whole bunches (approx
75%) utilising ambient yeasts. The resulting components were then aged in French oak puncheons (30% new) for 10
months. The components were then racked, blended together and returned to barrel for a further 6 months.
This wine wine has received no additions other than a small amount of sulphur at bottling. 13.5% alcohol.
This is a wine that marries the inherently fleshy and rich character of Heathcote Shiraz with fragrance and perfume.
It’s bursting with aromas of blackberry, blueberry and dark cherry as well as chocolate, musky perfume and
attractive oak spice. The palate has lithe and juicy texture, really full and round, the core flavours of red cherry,
blueberry and dark plum fruits are wrapped in fine long and smooth tannins. Finishes with tangy plum stone
freshness.
ARCHER Eagle Eye Heathcote Shiraz
A single parcel fermented on skins for 36 days in two small open fermenters with no de-stemming
or additions. Smells of complex musk and red fruit fragrance, some spice and layered black fruits,
hints of minerals and wild berries. The palate is all about finesse and elegance with deceptive
concentration, length and power – tannins are layered in soft sheeted formation.

ABOUT
Langhorne Creek is renowned for its full bodied red
wines and well balanced, fruit driven Chardonnay.
Greg Follett of Lake Breeze Wines created Bullant,
a great range of approachable, drink-now wines,
using fruit from the Follett family vineyard.
The playful label was inspired by the bullants which
are known to harass vineyard workers. As is the
case with the Lake Breeze wines, the Bullant range
over-delivers, possessing vibrant fruit flavours with
palate richness and offer great value.
THE FOLLETT FAMILY
William Hill, the great, great, great grandfather of
current Winemaker, Greg Follett, first took up land in
Langhorne Creek in the 1850s. His grand-daughter
later married Arthur John Follett, who established
the first vineyards on the property during the
1880s. Today, Lake Breeze is still very much a family
operation; Ken and Marlene Follett are proprietors,
their son Greg is winemaker, Greg's brother Roger is
General Manager, other brother Tim is Viticulturist,
Greg's wife Robyn looks after Marketing, Tim's wife
Dionne looks after the finances, and Kate Cooper,
the Follett boys' niece, who always has a warm
welcome for visitors in Cellar Door, waves the flag
for the next generation of the Lake Breeze family.

"Lake Breeze is one of Langhorne Creek’s finest wineries and this
cheapie won a gold medal at the local show this year. It is so
named because there were a huge number of bull ants in the
vineyard before it was cultivated but now it is somewhat more
civilised. This medium-bodied shiraz has vibrant plummy
flavours, is super smooth and makes pleasant easy drinking."

blackcurrant fruit and fine-grained tannins."

ABOUT
Vincent Géré was the Chief Winemaker of Blue
Pyrenees Estate for over 12 years and is director
of the Cognacs and Estates of Rémy Martin. His
father Henri Gere was the Cellarmaster of several
Chateaux in Medoc, Pontet-Canet, Malescasse and
Lafon Rochet. Together they planned Dellys, one
vineyard in Australia, one vineyard in France. Dellys
has a double history. Dellys was named after the
"Dallys" cottage, the old coach stop during the
gold rush near the Gere’s vineyards in Australia.
Coincidentally, “Dellys” was also the name of the
Garnier family property in the ancient wine region
of Kabylie.
Dellys Wines
"French winemaker Vincent Gere's arrival in the
Pyrenees marked the extension of the vineyards
seeking out deep gravely soils at higher altitude."

AUSTRALIAN VINEYARD
FRENCH VINEYARD
Dellys Australian property in Avoca is
very near Blue Pyrenees Estate, on the
slopes towards the south east. Only the
very deep soils allow the root system of
the vines to develop and extract the rare
nutrients. The red clay, metamorphised
in red stones is terrific for the Shiraz of
course but also for Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Limestone of Petite Champagne in Cognac is very deep. The
vineyard is on a gentle slope facing south, called La Côte Blanche.
The hill is made of chalk layered in limestone of several tens of
metres deep. The chalk acts as a sponge, absorbing the humidity
when raining and releasing it in case of drought. Exposed fully
to the south, La Côte Blanche enjoys one of the best climates at
the heart of the Cognac region, a perfect terroir for chardonnay
which can express its elegance and intense mineral character.
La Côte Blanche Chardonnay (France)
Elegant with an intense minerality. Citrus aromas and flavours, fresh
spices and 'sauvignon hints'; powerful and refined.
The Redstone Cabernet (Australia)
The strict barrel selection is reflected in lovely structure: full soft tannins
with a touch of the regional character - the mintiness sits just below the
fruitiness and delivers elegance and length.
La Petite Syrah (Australia)
Young and vibrant shiraz aged in French oak to discreetly soften
tannins and allow the Pyrenees fruit to come to the fore. The vineyard
is low yielding at 1.8 tonne per acre, everything in the vineyard is
completed at the highest level with select bunch thining, picking
by hand, and essentially dry grown. The full tonnage is harvested
with selected parcels being put into a varied oak regime to mature.
The final blend is a selection of individual barrels. Generous value
for money, an excellent choice for Victorian wine by the glass. A
traditional French approach to respect the sunbathed Australian fruit.
The Treetop Shiraz (Australia)

it only blooms if the conditions affecting climate, soil,

three leaves in the Flametree logo. By winning
Australia's most well-known and respected wine
accolade, the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy,

2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot

"93+ points" This is something of a ‘do yourself a favour’ wine. It’s the kind of wine that won’t leave anyone

blackberry, cloves and smoky oak notes, with a gently mineral edge to the tannin/finish. It’s not loose; it’s firm. But
the flesh of the fruit keeps it accessible. Well priced and well good." Campbell Mattison, The Wine Front, July '15

Flametree Wines
"Flametree is a fine stage for experienced Margaret
River winemaker Cliff Royle to strut his stuff sourcing
parcels from a number of different sub-regions
and varieties. While Flametree focused largely on
Margaret River, it also sources shiraz from Frankland
River. Royle’s style is generously flavoured but
laid-back and polished, so Flametree typically
delivers finesse and elegance and with that,
longevity. The sub-regional selection of Wallcliffe
chardonnay, the SRS, is a perfect example."

"95 points"
"S.R.S. Stands for sub-regional series and in this case it’s cool Karridale. This is a fabulous sauvignon blanc

Jane Faulkner, Halliday Magazine, Oct/Nov '15
"2nd place, Top 100 Wines of the Year"
"Outstanding example of taking sauvignon blanc to another plain of complexity and interest, with some additional
work in the winery. It’s a classy sauvignon blanc. It comes from the Karridale subregion south of Margaret River.
Some French oak fermentation brings a high degree of complexity to the refined and pure fruit. The screws have
been tightened to introduce a strong savoury character which carries through to the long finish."

ABOUT
SANDRO MOSELE
The Darley Arabian (pictured on the front label),
purchased by Thomas Darley in Aleppo, Syria and
shipped back to England, began stud duties in 1704.
Ninety-five percent of all thoroughbred racehorses
today trace back to this one stallion. Like only the
best thoroughbred families, we believe the wines of
Darley will stand the test of time. The vineyards and
winemakers sourced for these wines deliver on the
expectation their pedigree suggests. We hope you
agree and endeavour to always improve the wine
‘breed’.
Sandro Mosele was winemaker at Victoria's Mornington Peninsula winery, Kooyong, from 1996 to 2015. It
is here that he really made his mark, helping Kooyong to become a leading regional winery. He became
winemaker at Port Phillip Estate after Giorgio Gjergja, owner of Port Phillip Estate, bought Kooyong in 2004.
Sandro also makes the wines of Graillot in Heathcote together with Alain Graillot, one of the superstars of
France's northern Rhône Valley (in Crozes-Hermitage).
The Foal Sparkling Brut
This is a non-vintage sparkling, created as such to maintain flavour consistency year to year.
It is crisp and fresh with hints of citrus and pear, finishing with a lovely balanced acidity.
A perfect aperitif style with immediately appealing freshness of fruit and crisp mouth-feel.
The Filly Pinot Gris
The Darley Pinot Gris has a beautiful musky fragrance with hints of peach, apricot and pear.
The palate is crisp and fresh with a nice acid backbone, finishes dry with wonderful length of flavours.

ABOUT
Heirloom Vineyards was conceived in vintage
2000, when a young winemaking student caught
the eye of a silly old wine judge. A love story
ensued inspired by two vows: To preserve the best
of tradition, the old world of wine and our unique
old vineyards and to champion the best clones of
each variety planted in the most appropriate sites
embracing the principals of organic and biodynamic
farming. Seven long vintages of trial and error
passed before Heirloom Vineyards could make
a wine that was fine enough to pass on to future
generations. That is this wine.
The Salopian Inn in Mclaren Vale is the home
of Heirloom Vineyards and their Cellar Door.
Contemporary Australian cuisine with a regional
seasonal menu and an exceptional local and
international wine cellar with a tantalising list of
exotic gin.

"Doesn't miss the bullseye, establishing its credentials from the word go. It has a tight mineral core

ABOUT
The Helen’s Hill wine range holds the spirit of those
who have gone before us. It celebrates passion,
persistence and the genuine connection between
people and land. Each wine is hand crafted and
under goes an arduous selection process before it
makes it into a Helen’s Hill bottle. As we know, great
wine is made in the vineyard and as such only small
select parcels of fruit from certain rows of our single
vineyard site are hand picked at harvest. Each wine
is fermented in select French oak barrels. Prior to
bottling, each barrel is tasted and ranked with only
the best barrels selected for the Helen’s Hill range.
SCOTT MCCARTHY
From the moment Winemaker Scott McCarthy was
old enough to walk, his father had him in the family
vineyard picking grapes. Scott joined Yalumba
and after spending 10 years working in the Barossa
Valley, he spent a number of years in areas as
diverse as the USA's Napa Valley, the Loire Valley
and Languedoc regions in France, and Marlborough,
in New Zealand. He came to realise that making
wines from a cool climate region was where his true
winemaking passion lay, and as a result he settled
back in Australia at one of the best cool climate
regions in the world, the Yarra Valley.

"95 points"
"Deep, verging on inky, colour;
an intense wine in every
respect, taking no prisoners and
a nigh-on perfect example of
how much power cool-grown
shiraz can generate with its
moderate alcohol. And while
tannins are certainly present,
it's the bright blue and black
fruits and attendant acidity
that provide the horse power,
not oak or tannin extract. The
journey will be a long one, but
very rewarding."
2014 Breachley Block Chardonnay
"95 points"
"Estate-grown, hand-picked, wild-fermented in
new and used French barriques with lees
stirring. Excellent wine with the length and
intensity that is the hallmark of the Yarra
Valley; it is fruit-driven, with pink grapefruit
and white peach sharing the wine's
billboard, complexed by good acidity
and savoury notes on the finish."
James Halliday's Wine Companion '16
"94 points"
"Funky kind of feel. Kicks off with struck
match/flinty mineral suggestion and
segues to stone fruit and just-ripe
melon scents with a puff of nougat oak
character. Oak is well meshed in the
palate too, showing a little creaminess
among the racier fruit character.
Character yet finesse."

"Total time on skins 16 days; matured for 12 months in used French barriques.
Good depth to the colour, and likewise to the bouquet and palate alike.; the dark
chocolate wrapping around the black fruit invests the wine with a strong sense

"If there’s one description that comes back again and again while tasting this
wine it’s all about its delicacy, and while its gorgeous pure dark crimson and
black fruits are the primary flavour profile, a lovely delicate spicing throughout
adds depth to its purple, violet-like floral top notes, proving an aromatic harmony
in a neatly balanced and textured style, full bodied but never overweight.
Excellent."

"Helen’s Hill and it’s Ingram Road label are low-key but always worthy of investigation. The wines are routinely
very good, or better. Prices are reasonable too. This release is for quaffing now – and for that, it’s just the

ABOUT
Jack Rabbit Vineyard Winemaker, Nyall Condon,
has a long and exceptional history of excellence
in all aspects of vineyard establishment, winery
installation and management and of course,
winemaking. In 2010, Nyall commissioned the
state-of-the-art 200 tonne Leura Park Estate winery
where he made Leura Park's trophy winning wines
alongside Chief Winemaker, Darren Burke. Nyall
also makes the Bellarine Peninsula's highly awarded
Flying Brick Ciders.
Nyall’s approach to winemaking is very much about
minimal intervention and retaining the natural
characters of each varietal – the fruit is the hero.
Creative and thoughtful use of oak is another aspect
of Nyall’s winemaking mantra – each year different
- to best suit the ‘temperament’ and requirements
of the varietal and the varying nature of each
vintage. “I see Jack Rabbit wines being ‘honest’
wines – clean, fresh, sophisticated - complex
without being too complicated.” “The attraction of
cool climate wines for me is the fact that they are
slow ripening which facilitates maximum intensity
from nose to finish. Cool climate wines also tend to
inherently have seamless length and velvety tannins,
particularly in the reds.”

Maria and Johann Christian Hahn arrived in the
Barossa Valley in 1845, and like many early Barossa
settlers were of Silesian-German descent. Early
settlers staked out the best of the valley’s farmland,
and Maria and Johann chose a premium block for
their vineyard.
The JJ Hahn brand was created in 1997 as a joint
venture between sixth generation Hahn custodians,
James and Jacqui Hahn, and Rolf Binder. Today Rolf
is co-owner and has retained the management of
the vineyard and the wine making. Wines are only
made during the best vintages, giving the JJ Hahn
label a well-deserved reputation for quality as well
as excellent value.

ABOUT
The Kay Brothers McLaren Vale Amery Vineyards
grace the rolling foothills of the Southern Mt. Lofty
Ranges. Established in 1890 by Australian born
brothers, Herbert and Frederick Kay, the Heritage
listed Kays Amery Winery celebrated its first grape
crush in 1895 and is the oldest McLaren Vale winery
still in founding family hands. Today, the family
continues the winemaking traditions in the heritage
listed cellars.
Kay Brothers utilise a traditional method of pressing
out their wines. Their Celestial & Coq basket press
was installed and ready for use in the 1928 vintage to
replace older hydraulic and manual screw presses
that had proved unreliable. For their winemaker, it
is still the preferred of their two presses. The basket
press reflects Kay Brothers traditional winemaking
philosophy. The grapes are pressed gently, resulting
in softer tannins and cleaner juice - as the juice is
filtered through the mass of pulp while draining
through the basket. Whilst this process is labour
intensive and time consuming, Kay Brothers are
confident it translates to superior quality.

"The vines come from cuttings of the 120yo vines on Block 6, re-establishing

20 months in American and Baltic oak. Deep crimson-purple; full-bodied,
but more approachable than Block 6, its brooding black fruits and bitter
chocolate balanced by good tannin and oak, providing a very long palate.
Drink by 2037."

2014 Basket Pressed Grenache
"91 points"
"Tradition sealed with a screwcap. Poached strawberries, cherry and
rhubarb pie, brown spices and a little fresh mint. Medium bodied, juicy
cherry and strawberry fruit, though not really sweet, with this sort of
spice and leather character. It’s fresh, well defined and the tannin feels
particularly good – a little grainy and firm – nice to swish round the mouth.
Fresh finish too, some herbal and earthy flavours in the mix. Very good
this. Don’t overlook the wholesome beauty (and value) that straight
McLaren Vale Grenache can offer."

2015 celebrates Kingston Estate’s 50 years as
vignerons and 30 years as winemakers. As a family
winery with humble beginnings, they are proud to
see their wines enjoyed by people all over the
world. The Moularadellis family began as grape
growers in 1965 and when Bill Moularadellis
completed his oenology degree in 1985,
Kingston Estate Wines was born.
The Kingston Estate winemaking philosophy is to
source the best wine parcels from the best South
Australian regions to deliver true varietal flavour,
rather than blending varieties. Throughout both
ranges this could entail the selection of one or more
regions to ensure the best possible example for that
variety and its regional characteristics for
that vintage.

ABOUT
Leconfield Coonawarra was established by noted
oenologist, Sydney Hamilton, in the southern half
of the Coonawarra strip. The vineyard occupies
some of the area’s richest terra rossa soil over
limestone, a composition for which Coonawarra is
famous. During his winemaking career spanning
nearly 60 years, Sydney was highly regarded for his
contribution to the industry. In 1981, with 65 vintages
under his belt, Sydney decided to finally retire and
Leconfield was acquired by his nephew, Dr Richard
Hamilton, then based in McLaren Vale.
Leconfield Cabernet Sauvignon remains the flagship
wine and today Leconfield’s winemaking direction is
driven by highly regarded winemaker, Paul Gordon.

"96 points, Tony Love's Top 100 Wines" "One of the best of the season, this is all about ripe and juicy cabernet,
the varietal aromas marrying cassis and French oak into a flawlessly knitted twin set, all neatly restrained and
sophisticated, the palate rich and satisfying, the structurals deftly weighted to allow the beautiful fruit flavours to
shine without being hampered or heavily coated by overt tannins. Highly regarded for very good reason."
Tony Love, Top 100 Wines, July '15

Coonawarra headed up the best, this one leading the team (...)." Tony Love, Top 100 Wines, July '15
"95 points, 5 stars, Top Limestone Coast Cabernets Star Performers" "(...). The aromas reminded
James Halliday's Wine Companion '16
Caillard of "cassis, herbs, vanilla and the smell of rain on dry earth. Supple cassis, blackcurrant fruit
with juicy textures. Fine, grainy tannins and underlying savoury, vanilla oak. Good mineral length."
The wine is firmly structured, but has the concentrated flavour to match, giving the wine potential to
develop in bottle for many years." Nick Bulleid MW, Gourmet Traveller Wine, June/July '15
"94 points" "4% cabernet franc and maturation for 18 months in new and used French oak has
brought out maximum varietal expression in its regional context, where mint and mulberry are
often part of the mix; it is medium-bodied, with firm cabernet tannins, the oak largely a bystander."

"94 points" "This 77/23% blend may not be everyone's cup of tea, because the black olive notes
are very much to the fore of a savoury wine. For my part, this brings back memories of Bordeaux
pre-Parkerisation, a proper Englishman's claret. "

"93 points, Special Value" "Fruit, tannin, length. It's a crowd-pleasing style but it's a quality wine,

mouth, then rumbles with tannin. Equally suited to drinking now or later."

ABOUT
"The late architect Bruce Tomlinson built a strikingly
beautiful winery (heritage-listed by the Shire of
Busselton), now in the hands of winemaker son
Edward (Ed), who consistently makes elegant wines
in classic Margaret River style."
James Halliday's Wine Companion '16
Lenton Brae
"Best Wineries of the Regions, 5 red stars"
James Halliday's Wine Companion '11-'16
"...capable of making outstanding wine..."
"Lenton Brae is a small family-owned operation that
has proven capable of making outstanding wine
from the typical Margaret River mix of varieties.
The whites have typically shown intensity, poise and
tightness, while the reds have steadily acquired more
depth and fruit richness over recent vintages.
The latest Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon is
an assertively oaked wine, reflecting a greater
confidence in the quality and intensity of its fruit."

"This wine comes from a block within a single vineyard planted
to the Dijon clone 96; wild yeast-fermented and matured in

issue. It’s savoury and autumnal. Cherry

smoky oak. So fresh there’s almost a
spritz to it. Very good drinking/buying if
you enjoy savoury reds."

"94 points"
"The yield of the MV6 clone pinot was only
2.6 tonnes per ha. The colour is deep, the
bouquet redolent of cherry and soused
plum fruit, French oak somewhere in the
mix; the intense, layered palate provides
more of the same, with a supplementary
message: allow time for the wine to relax.
Full of potential."

ABOUT
Mr Mick is named after K.H. (Mr Mick) Knappstein,
a legend within the Australian winemaking industry.
One of Mr Mick’s passions in life was to make wines
for everyone to enjoy, a tradition his last apprentice,
local winemaker Tim Adams continues in his name.
Today, Tim and his wife, Pam, are proud custodians
of this landmark property, the former Leasingham
winery.
TIM ADAMS
Tim Adams' formative years were spent in South
Australia's Clare Valley. As a Clare lad growing up
among pioneering grape growers and winemakers,
it was no surprise that in his final year of school Tim
eschewed studying in favour of writing to Clare
Valley wineries seeking employment. The recipient
of one such letter was Mr Mick Knappstein at the
Stanley Wine Company, which led to Tim securing
a position as winery cellar hand in 1975. A fortuitous
beginning for Tim, who found himself mentored
by a revered pioneer of the modern Australian
wine industry. The first release of wines under Tim
Adams' own label was in September 1986, by which
time Tim had left the Stanley Wine Company. 'Mr
Mick' continued to encourage the young winemaker,
embracing Tim as his last apprentice, a relationship
that continued until him passing in 1997.

"Top tipples under $20" "Tim Adams makes exemplary Clare Valley wines under his own label and sources
fruit more widely for his budget-priced Mr Mick range. From the Limestone Coast, this one has wonderful
intensity, a sharp edginess that gives marvellous, almost chalky, definition, and zip and zing to finish."
Peter Forrestal, Money Magazine, Jan '16
"91 points" "A well-balanced juxtaposition between the crunchy pear and guava notes of Grigio
and the definition of lemon zest and grapefruit. It's fresh, lively and nicely balanced, with the softly
oily texture of Grigio falling neatly behind an energetic acid line."
Tyson Stelzer, WBM, Nov '15
2010 Cabernet Shiraz
"90 points, Special Value" "A 6-vineyard blend, matured for 18 months in oak barrels (mainly
French). As generous and honest as the man it honours (the late Mick Knappstein), and is by
some distance the best of the Mr Mick range, with its juicy array of blackcurrant, red cherry and
fine-grained tannins. Great value."
James Halliday's Wine Companion '15
2015 Novo Sangiovese
"Young Red Top Drops, Terrific value (...)" "Terrific value, this: really pretty purple wine with
fragrant sweet black fruit, medium-bodied roundness and some gamy tannin grunt. Very
quaffable - especially if there's a good wood-fired Margherita pizza on the table, too."
Max Allen, Gourmet Traveller, Young Red Top Drops, Jan '16
"Top 10 wines for the wine bluffer" "Plush, yes, that's the word here, a silkiness or the feel of
velvet on the tongue. Mr Mick brings forth a youthful, cherry-bright, spice-infused plushness to
the Italian grape that is truly moreish. Back story: Mr Mick is an homage to the late, great
Leasingham winemaker Mick Knappstein."

delivering a mouth-watering experience. The wine displays precise balance and poise finishing with cleansing
acidity and talcy tannins.
This definitive Grigio exudes just ripe pear, slivers of citrus and crunchy apple. Thrilling in the mouth with lip smacking
flavour and intense acidity, the wine finishes fresh, crisp and clean. For immediate enjoyment now and over the next
few summers.
CHARDONNAY
Estate grown. A top bistro chardonnay with a delicate back bone of
time nurture in aged French oak. Classic varietal characters of stone
fruit and lime. Pleasant and well balanced in both length and finish.
PINOT NOIR
Estate grown. Rich cherry and plum notes. Soft tannins and
leather, smoky French oak. A fine medium bodied Pinot Noir
with superior length and a mellow, lingering finish. Big in
Melbourne’s funkiest bistros!
CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Vibrant crimson with purple hues. A lifted wine with fragrance
and poise. Blackcurrant, dark chocolate, violets and hints of
cedar bestow an alluring prologue. The palate is substantial
and full with fine integrated tannins and subtle oak.
SHIRAZ
A rich, deep, youthful purple wine. Dark fragrant fruits lift from
the glass ranging from plum and blackberry then hints of spice
and pepper join the fray. A wine of some complexity layered
with soft acidity and finishing with fine grained tannins.

Norfolk Rise
ABOUT
The Norfolk Rise vineyard is in the Mount Benson
region of South Australia’s Limestone Coast where
the climate is cool due to year-round sea breezes
(only 5kms from the ocean). Combine these
cool, maritime micro climatic conditions with free
draining terra rossa soil and you have an excellent
environment for premium grape production.
The state-of-the-art winery that the 100% estate
grown vineyard surrounds was built in 2000
featuring some of the most advanced equipment
available. This provides Norfolk Rise with an
innovative and efficient winery upon which they
can effectively apply their winemaking philosophy:
to embrace, then express, the unique characteristics
of their vineyard.
The wines have clear, varietal definition, elegant
flavour and structure profiles with fruit driven
complexity.

2015 Savignon Blanc
The new bi-regional blend from South Australia and Tasmania
The Sauvignon Blanc wines of Norfolk Rise Vineyard are known to have a lively bouquet of lifted tropical
fruits and a refreshing acidity, while in Tasmania the Sauvignon Blanc often has a lifted floral bouquet
with the perfume of freshly picked lillies and a delicate but lingering minerality. By sourcing fruit from
these two contrasting but complimentary regions, Norfolk Rise has produced a wine of great complexity
and exceptional flavour which combines the best of both regions. For this exciting new development,
Sauvignon Blanc grapes were selected from the Nortfolk Rise Estate vineyard
and Tasmania. Full protective handling was utilized during processing of
the grapes and juice to avoid any oxidation or browning. The juice was
clarified and a long cool ferment in stainless steel tanks using a selection
of aromatic yeast stains followed. To maximise the retention of fresh fruit
flavours and aromas, the resultant wine was bottled early and under screw
cap. The nose is lively with lifted tropical fruits, lychee and perfumed musk.
Clean and crisp with a refreshing mineral acidity. Hints of freshly cut
grass and lush passionfruit flavours give this wine a balanced and
long lasting finish.

Paul Osicka Wines
"Best Wineries of the Regions, 5 red star winery"
James Halliday's Wine Companion '15-'16
ABOUT
Paul Osicka Wines is the longest established
producer in the Heathcote Wine Region. The vines
are grown without irrigation on sandy loam soil over
quartz and red ironstone gravels. The vines are
hand pruned to balance the yield and the grapes
are hand picked to achieve optimum fruit quality.
These factors combine to produce small, intensely
flavoured and coloured grapes necessary to make
premium wines. The use of synthetic chemicals
to manage the vineyard is kept to an absolute
minimum to promote better soil and vine health.
The Paul Osicka estate is now run by Paul and Simon
Osicka, the second and third generations to be
involved in the vineyard.
SIMON OSICKA
"Prior to joining the family business full-time in 2010,
Simon had senior winemaking positions at Houghton,
Leasingham and as group red winemaker for
Constellation Wines Australia, interleaved with vintages
in Italy, Canada, Germany and France, working at the
prestigious Domaine J.L. Chave in Hermitage for the
'10 vintage. The fermentation of the red wines has been
changed from static to open fermenters, and French
oak has replaced American oak."

Made by Paul and Simon Osicka
"When patriarch Paul Osicka brought his family
to Australia in the early 1950s, the industry was
suffering a hangover following the removal of beer
rationing. The once mighty Hunter Valley had only
466ha in production in 1956; in Victoria, no new wine
businesses had started for 50 years. But that did not
deter Osicka from continuing to practise the skills
of grape-growing and red winemaking that he had
brought with him from his native Czechoslovakia."

ORGANIC & BIODYNAMIC
“Biodynamics is the most advanced form of
organic farming. Its uses natural preparations
and composts, under a specified calendar to
bring the soil and the vine into balance, resulting
in exceptionally pure and expressive fruit. As a
certified Organic and Biodynamic wine producer,
Paxton wines are not exposed to chemical fertilisers,
herbicides or systemic pesticides. Organic inputs
are utilised from growing the grapes through to the
finished wine. And then biodynamic farming takes
this to the next level. It sensibly promotes complete
environmental synergy in the vineyard (from the soil,
to the bugs to the birds, to the vines that all work and
live together). The whole process quite simply gives
us healthier soils & healthier vines, then healthier
grapes which makes better wines. Therefore we say,
Paxton vines, make better wines”

2013 Sauvignon Blanc
"94 points"
"A barrel-fermented sauvignon blanc that has attitude, heaps of it. There may be some element of fruit selection,
but counter-intuitively, it seems to lift the fruit profile while still introducing the textural complexity one expects
from fermentation. It's a convincing example of the genre."
James Halliday's Wine Companion '15
"91 points”
"It’s an interesting flavour profile. It’s low alcohol and zesty/racy as a result, but there are sweet barley
sugar-like fruit notes amid grass and woodsmoke. Both complex and crowd pleasing at once.
Intensity it has in spades, length too, though the wine’s fruity exuberance sets you back on your
heels a bit. It’s not a wine to be passed over at speed; it makes you take notice of it."

MOURVÈDRE
SAUVIGNON BLANC
Hand-picked from a manicured vineyard in the
Stonewell subregion of Barossa Valley. Destemmed
only and fermented with indigenous yeast in two
small parcels. After a few days of cold maceration,
the ferments were hand plunged 3 times a day
and allowed to get to 30C. Both parcels were
pressed after 21 days 'on skins' with all the free run
and pressings combined. Matured in French oak
for 20 months and allowed to undergo malolactic
fermentation. Minimal fining and no filtration. On the
nose, red and black juicy fruits, smokey meats, floral
and spice, hints of cedar and cream. The palate
explodes with juicy red fruits onto the early and
mid palate, with an underlying meatiness and spice
building to the late palate. Balanced by fine tannins
and a tight finish. Drink until 2027.
Machine harvested, great flavour at
low baume and good acid, the fruit
was pressed with only the free run
being used. After settling, the juice
(with some fluffy lees) was transferred
to new tight grain French barrique,
fermented with indigenous yeast
and then sat on lees with occasional
battonage until Nov 2013, bottled in
Dec 2013. The nose and palate has
flinty citrus sherbet with straw and
fresh creamy mealy notes, supported
by a subtle herbal thread of kiwi and
snowpeas. Mouth-watering acidity
and a textured palate, finishing long,
fresh and balanced. Drink until 2020.

ABOUT
The arrival to Australia in 1950 of Hungarian
immigrant Rolf Binder and his Austrian wife,
Franziska, saw the beginning of a dynasty of fine
winemakers of the Barossa Valley. While picking
grapes they met local vignerons Chris Vohrer
and Wilhelm Abel and worked a vintage at their
winery, which, by 1955, the couple had purchased
and renamed ‘Veritas’. In the mid-seventies the
company went through a rapid expansion, in what
was then the beginning of the red wine boom.
This coincided with the first crops being harvested
from the company’s own vineyards.
Rolf and Christa renamed the company Rolf Binder
in commemoration of their father’s hard work and
vision. Today the brother-sister team continue
the legacy, celebrating sixty one years of family
winemaking this year.

as a graphic designer and became a 'vintage gypsy',
travelling to Europe for work. After the 1995 vintage in
Chianti Classico in Tuscany, he returned for a vintage
at Brown Brothers in north-eastern Victoria, then back
to Tuscany in 1996 for another vintage before deciding
to go to the University of Adelaide for formal Oenology
qualifications. After seven years in Mudgee NSW
fulfilling Drew's ambition to play with Italian varieties
as well as varieties such as Chardonnay, Shiraz and

A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Having had the Printhie property in the family for 35
years, the Swifts would like to pass it on to the next
generation of the family as a financially sound business
operating within a healthy, productive and biologically
diverse agricultural environment. The family are
undertaking a native re-vegetation project that will
re-establish a natural habitat for native species of flora
and fauna free of agricultural activity. This project is also
aimed at reducing soil and creek bank erosion along
natural water courses through the property.
In the vineyard, the Swifts are constantly monitoring
their viticultural practices to reduce water and chemical
use. Consumption of fossil fuels is also being reduced
through better vineyard management techniques and
encouraging an increased level of biodiversity within
the vineyard environment. In the winery the building
design has allowed for natural ventilation eliminating
the need for power generated climate control and
they capture the CO2 produced by fermentation and
recycle the inert gas within the wine production process
to reduce their reliance on purchased CO2. All grape
marc is composted along with other raw materials
produced on the property (cow manure and straw) to
produce their own natural fertiliser that can be put back
onto the vineyard. We are recycling all packaging such
as glass, plastic and paper products so that virtually
nothing goes to landfill. Future objectives include better
recycling of winery wastewater and offsetting their
carbon emissions.

2013 MCC Chardonnay
"91 points" "(...). The wine is hand picked, whole bunch pressed, barrel fermented, naturally ferment. About 30%
new oak is used. ‘I like savoury elements in chardonnay’, states Tuckwell, ‘I like a bit of funk, but the fruit always
needs to be reflective of where it’s grown – it’s about the vineyard, not trying to force a stamp on it, but I would
like it to be in modern Australian style, probably the most exciting category in the country for quality and value for
me at the moment’. Tuckwell is a vocal and thoughtful
winemaker from Orange. Gently sweet citrus spectrum
fruit characters, mixed peel, touch of green apple sweetness,
some faint nougat oak scents. Gently sweet to taste too, but
the acid, crisp, clean, glassy, takes the wine away. Some
slipperiness to texture, some weight and concentration too.
It’s a kind, easy, gentle chardonnay with freshness on its side.
Good drinking here."

2012 MCC Shiraz
"90 points" "Medium-bodied, peppery style. Almost
compelling. Flavours of game, dark cherry, tomato leaf,
black pepper and slippery, cedary oak. Needs time for
the finish to iron itself out, but 3-4 years in a cool dark
place should reward. Not lacking in complexity."

The Santa & D’Sas approach with the Ampersand single vineyard
range of wines is to harness the strength and characteristics of the
selected premium Victorian vineyards to create varietal and
vineyard expressive wines that show genuine sense of place.
Fruit for the Riesling and Pinot Gris is sourced from the Doeven
Vineyard, Drumborg in the Henty Wine Region. Fruit for the
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is sourced from the Langbrook Vineyard,
Yarra Junction in the Yarra Valley. Fruit for the Shiraz is sourced
from the Collbinabbin Estate vineyard in Heathcote.
ABOUT
Sister’s Run is serious fun. Our talented young
winemaker Elena wears steel cap work boots every
day of course, but carries a pair of high heels in
the back of the ute, only for emergencies, like last
minute invitations to accept trophies at gala wine
show dinners and the like. Returning from a ‘kneesup’ at midnight, mid vintage, she managed to kick
off one high heel and slip back into a boot just as the
cellar crew cried out, ‘Run Sister Run’; and exactly
then our winemaker and label took flight!
The stiellotto and boot are Sister’s Run; an
independently owned and operated winery with a
fierce commitment to making the best wines we can
from family vineyards. We don’t take ourselves as
seriously as we take our wines, but agree with Elena,
all you need to know about wine is the five ‘V’s:
Vintage, Variety, Vineyard, Vigneron and Volume.
And remember, the best wine is the wine you like. W’sale

ABOUT
Yal Yal Estate is a picturesque, boutique vineyard
located at Merricks on the Mornington Peninsula.
Working with renowned winemaker, Sandro
Mosele (ex Kooyong and Port Phillip Estate), Liz
and Simon Gillies launched the Yal Yal Rd label in
2010. Established in 1997, the vineyard focuses on
low yield, single estate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
that reflects the unique character of Yal Yal Estate's
terroir.
Prior to 2009, Liz and Simon's excellent fruit was
sold to highly regarded vineyards on the Mornington
Peninsula. In 2009 they sold most of their fruit
and produced their first Yal Yal Rd Chardonnay to
significant acclaim. This small run sold out in six
months.
The 2009 Pinot Noir made for another vineyard
by Sandro Mosele, Yal Yal Estate's winemaker, and
using their grapes, was very highly rated by James
Halliday, receiving a score of 94, and sold out within
3 months. This augured well for future vintages and
so with great excitement Liz and Simon decided to
produce their own Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from
2010.

2013 Chardonnay
"95 points, Special Value"
"A superfine and elegant style, bred to stay. White peach, apple and melon fruit is cosseted in subtle French oak,
the acidity fresh but balanced, the finish long and fine."
James Halliday's Wine Companion '16
2013 Pinot Gris
"92 points"
"A distinct touch of pink-bronze points to some skin contact; a full-flavoured pinot gris with pear, apple and ginger
all contributing to the depth and length. A pinot gris with attitude."
James Halliday's Wine Companion '16
2013 Pinot Noir
"92 points"
"Light colour, but still holding red-purple hue; estate-grown,
the wine has a distinctive perfumed bouquet with exotic
oriental spices, the palate with drive to the point of outright
urgency; interesting wine with an interesting future."
James Halliday's Wine Companion '16
SANDRO MOSELE
Yal Yal Estate has a close relationship with their wine
maker, Sandro Mosele, who shares their philosophy
of ensuring that the wines are representative of the
place and the seasons in which they grow.
The wine making approach is non-interventionist.
All wines are fermented spontaneously and are
wild fermented. Wholly French oak is used for wine
maturation and the wines are unfined and only
minimally filtered.
ABOUT
Owner and winemaker, Tim Adams, began his
career in the wine industry as a cellarhand at the
Stanley Wine Company in 1975, steadily working
his way through the ranks to become winemaker
in 1981 following graduation. The first inclination to
leave came in 1985, when Tim and his wife were
approached by local cooper Bill Wray to form a
partnership of the two families to make wine and
small oak casks. The first wines under the Adams
& Wray label were released in September 1986, by
which time Tim had left the Stanley Wine Company.
In May 1987 the Adams & Wray partnership was
dissolved, and Tim and his wife Pam took full control
of the renamed Tim Adams Wines. In late 1987 they
purchased the existing winery site and opened the
cellar door in January 1988.
Tim Adams Wines
"Tim Adams is one of the finest and most
consistent of the Clare Valley’s many wineries."
"The affordable prices and widespread availability
of its wines do not give them the caché that scarcity
or extreme cost often delivers regardless of quality.
These are true enthusiasts’ wines – they’re carefully
and professionally made from well-managed and
low-yielding vineyards, and they exemplify what the
Clare Valley is all about. (...)."

"Best Wineries of the Regions, 5 black stars" James Halliday's Wine Companion '16
2010 Reserve Riesling
"94 points" "Released as a five-year-old. I find most "museum releases" of Australian riesling quite
disappointing, on the whole, which I understand is not part of the accepted or common wisdom. This wine
though justifies the (reserve) tag and the (hold back from release) treatment. It’s alive with scent, feels textural
and (relatively) rich, and has a tonne of sizzle though the finish. Drink: 2015 - 2021."
Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, Oct '15
2015 Riesling
"92 points, 4 stars" "Is quite taut and crisp, yet has lemon and nectarine aromas with floral fragrance. "Intense
aroma with lemon sorbet and rosewater," said Bourne. "Lip-smacking palate, lemony acidity shows through with Pink
Lady apple." A light grip doesn't interrupt its length. (...)."
Nick Bulleid MW, Gourmet Traveller Wine, March '16
2015 Pinot Gris
"93 points" "Pink tinge. Good body of flavour but it's run on tight rails. Dry pear, crunchy
green apple, talc and honeydew melon. Super drinking."
James Halliday's Wine Companion '16
"93 points" "Hugely popular wine and it’s easy to tell why. Juicy drinkability is the
order of the day. Generous serving of flavour too, but without being over the top.
Pear, apple, stone fruits, musk and spice. Gets thebalance pretty right."
James Halliday's Wine Companion Magazine, Oct '15
"92 points" "Proper Gris, classic Tim Adams, and a great vintage, this is a wine
textured and coloured with some pressings, and sweetened by halting the ferment.
It's an impressively fragrant nose with pear, lychee, guava, pink lady apple and even
strawberry. The palate is viscous and rich, well balanced by sweetness, lively acidity
and soft phenolic texture."
Tyson Stelzer, WBM, Dec '15
2011 Semillon
"93 points, Special Value" "You cannot miss the fact that the wine was
barrel-fermented, but the fact that the oak was 100% new French hogsheads,
and the wine spent 6 months in that oak could have been lost; the cool vintage
and early picking mean great things are in store for those with patience."

The Aberfeldy Shiraz
Langton’s Classification VI: Excellent "The intensely-perfumed and muscular Aberfeldy Shiraz reflects the
character of vineyard site as much as the personality of winemaker Tim Adams. The 1.6 hectare Aberfeldy
Vineyard includes a large proportion of dry-grown, colonial vine stock planted by Wendouree's Alfred Percy Birks
in 1904. (...)."
2012 The Aberfeldy Shiraz
"94 points" "I often think of The Aberfeldy as being like the Clare Valley’s Grange. Aside from the fact that it’s
from a single region, and much less than one tenth of the price. It’s a flagship wine that’s easy enough to enjoy
now, or much later. Blackberry, dark cherry, cloves, sage, coconut, dark mint chocolate, spice – it’s
all go. Full bodied, lush smooth tannin, silky feel with rich fruit, backed with toasty
spiced oak. Smooth powdery tannin carries the finish long, and while there’s a little
warmth, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Does that make sense?
Well, at least it sounds impressive. As is the wine." Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, Oct '15
"94 points" "One for the cellars. Has supreme depth and carriage of flavour,
grooves of tannin, supple finish. Stains the palate with its powerful, inky, dark fruit
and dried fruit spice. Oak gives structure and more depth. A rich, potent wine of
balance and magnitude."
Mike Bennie, WBM, Jan '16
"92 points, 4 stars" "Big rich shiraz from old vines is the Aberfeldy style, but this
one is also balanced and elegant with acidity keeping it light on its feet. (...)."
Huon Hooke, Gourmet Traveller Wine, 100 Top New Releases, Feb/March ‘16
2010 Cabernet Malbec
"94 points, Special Value" "A blend of 65% estate-grown cabernet and
35% malbec grown by neighbour Richard Hughes. This isn't Wendouree, but
it's a very good example of the synergy of cabernet and malbec in the Clare
Valley, the juicy plum fruit of the malbec contentedly nestling in the arms of
the cabernet. Still full of life, and won't tire for many years."

www.alanmccorkindale.com Sauvignon Blanc
'Single Vineyard' Sauvignon Blanc harvested from the volcanic Greywacke stone soils of the ‘Utawai Creek’
vineyard. This vineyard consistently produces intensely flavoured grapes with good natural acidity. Made
without compromise on quality. Vibrant and dry, with a racy acid backbone, delicate and intense with distinctive
minerality, flintiness, and a very long finish. We like this wine with fresh seafood, great with Japanese dishes.
Syrah
‘Single Vineyard’ Syrah harvested from the clay soils of the ‘Au Plein Soleil’ vineyard. This low yielding vineyard
has a few vines of Viognier, which is co-fermented with the Syrah grapes in small vats. Traditional northern
Rhone Valley winemaking has created a New Zealand wine in an Old World style. Focussed and concentrated,
powerful, but graceful, with lithe tannins, balance and a very long finish.
ABOUT
Nobody has more experience growing grapes in
Marlborough than Allan Scott. He planted some
of the region’s most famous vineyards, including
the very first, and has worked there every vintage
since. Allan has over 40 years in the wine business,
which makes him one of the most experienced
people in Marlborough when it comes to growing,
making and marketing wine. When Allan and
his wife Catherine decided to settle there in 1973,
Allan took a job with Montana working in their new
vineyards. In 1980 he was head-hunted by Corbans
to oversee the establishment of their Marlborough
vineyards. He soon became their Senior Viticultural
Manager, which not only gave him responsibility
for the company's entire national grape intake, but
led him to become part of the winemaking team.
All this stood Allan in good stead for the family’s
foray into winemaking. Back then, there weren’t
any boutique wineries to speak of in Marlborough.
In 1975 Allan and Catherine purchased a block of
land and got into contract growing. Then, when the
first independent winemakers started to emerge in
Marlborough, Allan and Catherine were in a position
to become a part of this new era in New Zealand’s
wine industry. In 1990, they launched Allan Scott
Wines, which is now a true family business. Allan
and Cathy’s three children have grown up to
become valuable members of the business.

ABOUT
Little Goat Creek is a real place in the heart of
Marlborough’s Wairau Valley grape growing
region. The creek flows from the Richmond Ranges
of Marlborough into the Wairau River and this
water in turn feeds the fertile land that produces
Marlborough’s famous grapes. New Zealand's
climate is perfect for producing crisp, aromatic
wines - the long summer days and cool nights
provide ideal conditions which preserve purity and
freshness. Little Goat Creek wines epitomise these
factors: wines packed with flavour and showing
great expression of variety. The grapes are sourced
from organic vineyards. Being organic, these
grapes build up a natural resistance to the elements.
The skins become thicker producing more flavour.
CHRIS DARLING & BART ARNST
With over 30 years winemaking experience, Chris and
Bart teamed up to produce the wines for Little Goat
Creek. Both men have a passion for making wine and
have worked across the world in countries such as
France, Greece, Czech Republic, Australia and New
Zealand. Chris and Bart also keep themselves busy
producing their super premium range, The Darling
wines.

The grapes are sourced from organic vineyards in the
Wairau Valley of Marlborough. These grapes build up a
natural resistance to the elements. The skins become thicker
producing more flavour. The growing season was warm
and dry with the last month before picking being fantastic
conditions. The grapes were picked early April and allocated
into different parcels for fermentation allowing a range of
components for blending. Parcels of wine were selected for
blending that produced a varietal and classic Sauvignon
Blanc. All components were kept on yeast lees as long as
possible until blending, adding greater flavour and softness to
the wine.
2014 Organic Pinot Gris
Aromas of pear and citrus showing through on the nose.
Being a dryer style (6g/L residual sugar) it has a great
drinkability due to the freshness on the palate. The pear and
citrus notes continue on in the mouth, while having a crisp
acid backbone which adds great length of flavour. This wine
will drink well anytime complementing white meats, salads
and seafood. The canopies were open allowing sunshine and
a flow of air which is perfect for producing great Pinot Gris.

tannin structure with a soft mouth feel
and good length. This wine will drink well

The grapes were picked once the typical
flavours of Marlborough were shining
through. They were crushed to different
fermenters allowing a range of components
for blending. The wines were
plunged daily allowing the
soft tannins to emerge in the

we were able to produce a

Notes
Cantina Sociale Gallura is a cooperative of 160 members covering 325
hectares of vines in the Gallura region of northern Sardinia. The winery is
located in the town of Tempio Pausania on the foothills of Mount Limbara.
Gallura finds the roots of its name in the rooster emblem of the Visconti of
Pisa and in 1956 the rooster was adopted by the Cantina to adorn
its labels.
The soil is a mix of sand and rock, is poor, and the vines have to
struggle to survive in this hostile environment. The limited grape
yield offers unique and prized qualities.
The flagship of Cantina Gallura is the 'Vermentino di Gallura',
the only wine in Sardinia to be awarded Denomination of
Controlled and Guaranteed Origin, which it gained in 1996.
Made from 100% Vermentino from vines grown on limestone
and granite, this excellent white has a racy minerality on
the palate. A lemon-green in colour. On the nose tell-tale
aromas of basil and pine nuts with undertones of citrus and
honey. On the palate, delightfully zesty with a pronounced
minerality and balanced acidity. The finish is lingering and
refreshing. A food-friendly crowd pleaser that should be
drunk young. Try with pasta primavera, gremolata sauces,
vegetable terrines or seafood cocktails.

2008 Barolo Vigna Cucco DOCG
100% Nebbiolo from the Vigna Cucco vineyard, this powerful wine begins
its ageing process with 14 months in small French oak barrels, followed by 9-10
months in traditional barrels, then bottle maturation a year before release.
This cru, the jewel in the company's crown, stands out for its
bright ruby red colour with slight orange hues, and its complex
and enveloping bouquet where the varietal hints of wild rose
blend with the aroma of sage. The fruity aspect then emerges,
bringing to mind shrivelled blackberries, pressed sour black
cherries and, to complete the picture, spices and wild overtones.

2014 Lavignone Barbera D'Asti DOCG
ABOUT
The Pico Maccario winery dominates the largest
single-block vineyard in Piedmont. Seventy hectares
(175 acres) in one single piece makes the vineyards a
true rarity. The property is located on hillsides in the
province of Asti at 180 metres above sea level; the
hills are of mixed soil with much clay and are planted
to 58 hectares (145 acres) of Barbera, four hectares
(10 acres) of Merlot, two hectares (five acres) each of
Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon
Blanc; the remaining two hectares are planted to
Favorita and Freisa.
Brothers, Pico and Vitaliano Maccario, run this estate
created by their grandfather, Carlo. Pico Maccario,
the eldest brother, devotes himself to the production
of the wine, while Vitaliano handles the marketing
and commercial aspects of the business. They are
highly demanding of themselves and have an exact
idea of the efforts necessary to achieve the excellent
results they obtain. From the beginning, the brothers
have chosen modern methods to manage their
vineyards and produce wine, due in equal parts to
their personal taste and young age of their winery.
Asti, Piedmont, Italy

Made by Pico Maccario
www.picomaccario.com "Intense flavors of blueberry, plum and licorice are allied to a juicy profile. Offers bright fruit and an easy

Wine Spectator, April '15
Made from 100% Barbera grown on the soft Pleistocene hills formed from fluvial and river lacustrine deposits,
the grapes are picked at optimum maturity, gently crushed and macerated for 10 to 12 days. Ageing takes
place in steel vats for 9 months (no oak), during which time many different decantations are done before bottling
and further ageing in bottle before release in spring. The colour of the wine is ruby red, the aroma intense and
charming, with cherry, plum and red berries. The palate is complex, well-structured, harmonious and long.
Lavignone is the name of one of the farmhouses that was built on the property in the 1700s. Barbera
reaches one of its finest expressions in Barbera d’Asti, which achieved DOCG status in 2008.
The rose has always been a symbol of the winery. 4500 rose plants of the same cloned
variety have the duel function of marking the start of each vineyard row, and – a traditional
use – of signaling vine-threatening diseases before they get the chance to do damage.
The presence of these thousands of rosebushes creates a beautiful walking experience
between the rows of Pico Maccario.

Il Fresco Prosecco DOC
ABOUT
Villa Sandi is situated at the foot hills of Treviso,
between the Prosecco di Valdobbiadene DOCG
and Montello e Piave DOC. Villa Sandi is a splendid
pallatial building dating back to 1622 and now the
headquarters of the company.
Villa Sandi
"...one of the grandest wine estates you'll find
anywhere."
"The beautiful wine region of Prosecco is right on
the doorstep of one of the world's most romantic
cities - Venice. And while Venice is a destination
of timeless appeal, wine styles don't get any hotter
right now than prosecco. In Venice, the cool crowd
sip on Bellini cocktails made from prosecco and
peach juice. in New York and London, spritzes are
all the rage, with prosecco mixed with Aperol or
Campari. (...). Wine producers here run the gamut
from small farmhouse makers with just a few rows
of grapes on steep slopes to those with historic
mansions like Villa Sandi, which dates back to 1622
and is one of the grandest wine estates you'll find
anywhere. The region is alive with cantinas offering
tastings and upmarket hotels and eateries catering
for the influx of tourists, including Villa Sandi's
boutique Loncanda Sandi. (...)."

NV Valdobbiadene Superiore Di Cartizze Prosecco DOCG
Cartizze is a small hilly area with 106 hectares of vineyard lying between the districts of Santo Stefano and S. Pietro
di Barbozza in the municipality of Valdobbiadene. Within this area lies 'La Rivetta' vineyard owned by Villa Sandi.
A true cru that is the result of a perfect combination between a gentle microclimate and a very old land with
calcareous sandstones and clays. The wine is very pale straw yellow with an intense, fine and persistent perlage.
Intensely fruity aromas with clear notes of ripe golden apple, exotic fruit salad and citrus fruits. A persistent floral
aroma reminiscent of acacia and wisteria flowers.

Pinot Grigio IGT
Made from Pinot Grigio grown in the Veneto IGT
(typical geographical indication). The area has
loose, dry floodplain soils rich in subsoil. Whole
grapes are put into the pneumatic press for soft
pressing and the resulting must, after a first racking,
is put into controlled temperature fermentation
tanks. The wine remains on the lees for several
months and is then bottled. The aroma of the wine
is of fruity and floral fragrances reminiscent of the
countryside in summer. A dry, round and rich taste,
with a fruity, warm and well-balanced finish.

Like France’s renowned Champagne district, Columbia Valley vineyards sit
at a northerly latitude. The region receives about two extra hours of sunlight
during the peak of the growing season. Ample sunshine and cool evenings
create ideal conditions in developing superior
flavour and crisp acids. Approximately
110 lots of base wines are sampled and
eventually the cuvée is selected based on
aroma and acidity. Made in the Méthode
Champenoise, the assemblage is then
bottled with a small amount of liqueur
de tirage which triggers secondary
fermentation. Aged sur lie for up to
18 months before a sweet liquid dosage
is added to the bottle, balancing the
delicate, natural high fruit acids
and viscosity.

ABOUT
"America’s Best Pinot Noirs, Oregon Elite Pinot Noir Producers"
Erath wines are an expression of the land that the
winery has cultivated for more than 40 years, longer
than any other winery in the Dundee Hills of Oregon.
The red, iron-rich Jory soils, combined with gentle
breezes and warming sunshine of a marine climate,
have bestowed upon Dundee a terroir of note. It has
given rise to the handcrafting phenomenon, and the
art of Pinot.
"Value Brands of the Year '14"
Erath Winery
"50 Years of Wine Excellence:
Oregon's Willamette Valley"
"Today wine is made in all 50 States, but there
are still only a handful of domestic wine regions so
acclaimed and reliable the public knows them by
name. Starting with Napa and Sonoma, it’s a pretty
short list, and one of the top spots on it belongs to
Oregon’s Willamette Valley. While California is best
known for its cabernet sauvignon, rivalling Bordeaux,
the Willamette Valley has taken on Burgundy and
is now widely considered one of the world’s best
growers and producers of pinot noir. (...). There are
more than 300 wineries in the area, but the best
known names, such as top pinot noir producer (by
volume) Erath, have been releasing pinot noirs since
the early Seventies."

Santa Maria Valley
ABOUT
lockup
Villa Mt. Eden’s heritage stretches back to the
pioneering roots of California winegrowing. The
winery is one of the few established around the
1880s that exists today, among the good company
of Beringer, Chateau Montelena and Far Niente.
Today Villa Mt. Eden’s mission is to showcase
distinguished regions and vineyards of California,
crafting elegant wines with fruit intensity and a focus
on place.
word mark only- over 1.5”
Santa Maria is one of California’s coolest winegrowing appellations with one of the longest growing seasons in the
world. The San Rafael Mountains in the north and the Soloman Hills in the south frame this growing area drawing
the cooler maritime breezes of the Pacific Ocean into the valley. These maritime breezes keep the average daytime
temperatures in Santa Maria in the mid-teens. Located in the northern end of Santa Barbara County, with welldrained, lean soils and a Pacific Ocean influence, the region is best known for cool climate grapes like Chardonnay
and Pinot Noir.
Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay
This is a classic, richer, although not 'over the top' Chardonnay, featuring lemon meringue aromas intertwined
with musky peach, brioche, crushed stone and hints of toast. Medium bodied on the palate, it is rich in texture
but stays beautifully focused. The hand-picked grapes were pressed in whole clusters to preserve the intense
and ripe flavours. The wine was fermented in 33% new French oak barrels charred to a medium-heavy toast.
Malolatic fermentation followed to soften the acids, adding a creamy, brulee-butterscotch element.
Nine months of barrel aging sur lie with regular stirring integrated the oak and
fruit flavours.
Russian River Valley
The Russian River growing region covers 150 square miles, with nearly 30%
of all vineyard acres devoted to Pinot Noir. Influenced by the cool, coastal fog
of the Pacific Ocean, the beautiful, warm days can give way to much cooler
evenings. It’s not unusual for the overnight fog which enters both through the
Petaluma Gap and up the Russian River to create 30-40 degree differences
from the daytime temperatures. It is these warm days and cool nights which
create an ideal climate for growing cool climate grape varieties like Pinot Noir
and Chardonnay.

ABOUT
Champagne Charpentier, established in 1855, has
72 vineyards spread over several 'crus' in the Marne
Valley around the town of Charly-sur-Marne. This
area is 90% dominated by Pinot Meunier, whereas
the majority of the Charpentier estate vines are
planted with Chardonnay. This has, of course, an
important influence on the aromatic expression of
Champagne Charpentier.
Some years ago, the vines in the middle of the
hillsides proved they could be managed with
sustainable viticulture, leading on to some of the
vineyards now being grown organically.
All Champagne Charpentier wines are sealed
with a special natural cork (Mytik Diamant) which
guarantees freedom from cork taint.

nose is expressive and rich, with complex aromas of toast, yellow peach, curry and cashew nut, opening out to
refined notes of fresh rose, cumin, orange zest and black pepper. Delicate, yet fresh and intense. The palate
is soft, supple and generous, exploding with fruit - pineapple, peach and lychee, with well balanced acidity to
complement the sweetness, resulting in a mellow mouthfeel, with lingering flavours of orange and rose.
Perfect with fine and fruity desserts as well as spicy, sweet-and-savoury dishes.
Champagne Charpentier
"The village of Charly-sur-Marne is situated halfway between Reims and Paris,
15 kilometres west of Château-Thierry. In this notably cool and wet part of
Champagne, planting is dominated by meunier - 90% of the total - making
the Charpentier family unique and unusual as its 72 parcels spread across
23 hectares, well-situated on the mid-slopes of several nearby crus, comprise
50% chardonnay. The family has sold its own wines since 1855 (still wines
at the time) and Jean-Marc Charpentier is now the eighth generation of
his family to manage the estate. In 1989 he married the daughter of a
fifth-generation champagne grower in Charly-sur-Marne, providing the
family with an impressively expanded resource of mature vines.
Jean-Marc has been a pioneer of sustainable viticulture in Champagne
since 1988, and some plots are now managed organically. The result is
lower yields and increased resilience to disease, crucial in ripening
chardonnay in this part of Champagne. Charpentier's cuvées are well
crafted, long aged, sealed with DIAM closures and reflective of the softly
textured character of the western Marne. They're also refreshingly
affordable."

Notes
At an average altitude of over 800m, Tempranillo (known locally as Tinta del
País or Tinto Fino) grows thin-skinned fruit with refreshing acidity, which in
turn produces wines that are delicious when they are young but also have the
capacity to age magnificentally.
Aventino Tempranillo is made from 100% Tinta del Pais from
vineyards that were planted between 60 and 120 years ago, with
an average age of 80 years. Low yield vineyards, careful handling
and temperature controlled fermentation and maceration has
resulted in a strong collection of modern fruit forward red wines.
The grapes were handpicked at the optimum stage of ripeness
in the first week of October. Vinification was temperature
controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 26-30ºC
with manual pump over. Up to 15-20 days maceration.
After malolactic fermentation 15%of the wine was racked to a
combination of 1-3 year old French and American oak barrels
where it was aged for 4 months before blending back in to
stainless steel tanks and prepared for bottling.
Deep red color. The concentrated bouquet combines
brilliantly blueberries, blackberries, wild strawberries and
toasty aromas with mineral notes. On the palate a veritable
explosion of fruit, spice and wonderful touch of ripe tannins
that give the final nice length.

ABOUT
You've probably heard of Valencia in reference to
its famous oranges, or its famous dish, the Paella.
There's also a raucous festival in Valencia, The
Falles, known worldwide for its all night revelry. But
Valencia also produces a very fine Tempranillo and
Castilla Y Leon produces a delicious Verdejo.
2014 Verdejo
2 Silver Medals
Mundus Vini and Concours Mondial Bruxelles
100% Verdejo from 15-20 year old vines grown on terraced land with sandy loams fed by Duero River in
Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León. Castile and León is the largest of Spain’s 17 autonomous regions. Even
though Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León covers most of the region, the vineyards are predominantly
planted in the Duero Valley which is outside the DO Ribera del Duero, DO Toro and DO Rueda. The region
is noted for its hot arid plains. Grapes varieties are primarily Verdejo (white) and regional variants of
Tempranillo called Tinto del País, Tinto Fino and Tinta de Toro.
The grapes were mechanically harvested throughout the night preserving their natural acidity and
aromatic characters. Slow pneumatic press cycle, cold settling and musts for 24 hours, racking and
fermentation at low temperature 16-18ºc in 100% stainless steel tanks.
Pale yellow colour with golden-green glints. Enchanting aromas of zesty
lemon blossom, ripe apple, hints of peach and nice minerals. The palate
offers an energetic combination of fruits and minerals. It finishes clean and
brisk with a refreshing acidity.
2014 Tempranillo
The Radio Boka Tempranillo grows mostly on the mountainside in
Valencia, on head pruned vines 12-25 years old. The soils vary from
dark miocene to chalky lime. Balmy days, brisk nights. The grapes
were handpicked at optimum stage of ripeness during the month
of September. The wine was vinified with a cold maceration at 5ºC
during 48 hours. Temperature controlled fermentation at 24-28ºC in
stailess steel tanks. Maceration time 12-18 days. A percentage of the
wine was aged in French oak barrels before blending back into the
final blend.
