Made famous in Italy's Piedmont region - highly regarded for its finest wines - this Barolo is rich in flavour and deep in colour, with a rounded oak aroma that lingers on the finish. Not surprisingly, Barolo is a consistently popular offering year in and year out. Sweetness: Off-Dry | Body: Medium-Full | Oak Intensity: Medium Chianti The pride of Italy's Tuscany region, this blend is famous for its full, dry character and elegant flavours of cherries and blackberries. Sturdy and robust, with tangy undertones and a slight spiciness. Ageing uncovers its complex depth of flavour. Sweetness: Dry | Body: Light-Medium | Oak Intensity: Medium SILVER AWARD* Pinot Noir The varietal responsible for classic red burgundy. The scent, flavour, body and texture of Pinot Noir is profound. Supple, spicy fruit flavours are a delight to the palate. Sweetness: Dry | Body: Light-Medium | Oak Intensity: Medium BRONZE AWARD* Valpolicella Italian style wine with a delicate bouquet and a rich texture. Ruby red colour. Fragrant and fruity.

Must be tried to be believed. Sweetness: Medium-Dry | Body: Medium | Oak Intensity: None Whites Johannisberg Dry Riesling The character of this fine German varietal is truly distinctive.

Sweetness: Medium-Dry | Body: Medium | Oak Intensity: None SILVER AWARD* Sauvignon Blanc Crisp and flavourful, this popular grape varietal has distinctive and immediately recognizable aroma and flavour characteristics. The famous grassy, herbaceous bouquet and flinty aftertaste are here, with the generous acidity that is typical of the grape. Steely, grassy, and defiantly dry, nothing can complement a meal better than Sauvignon Blanc, a unique wine that offers a definitive counterpoint to the ubiquitous Chardonnay.

You can't get any more authentic! Reds Australian Shiraz The grape that was made for Down Under - its hot climate is perfect for bringing out the best traits in this popular grape varietal. Australian Shiraz is seductively delicious, with startlingly rich, ripe aromas that deliver right through to the full zesty finish. Amazingly, the style allows for polished tannins early, so the young wine is not rough or harsh. The aged version retains the core fruit flavours of plums, cherries and blackberries, but gains extra polish. Pair this Shiraz with flavourful meals!
