Penley Steyning Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Region: SA- Coonawarra

Bondar Wines Vestige Grenache 2021

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "A rare beast, and likely a one off. A 30 dozen production from a 100 year old patch of Grenache in the McLaren Flat.  Rich, dark raspberry, nutty, some gum leaf and mint perfume, but so much power here. It’s distinctly minty and gum...

Lake's Folly White Label Cabernets 2021

Penley Chertsey Cabernet Merlot Cabernet Franc 2018

Region: SA- Coonawarra

  "A 3-way bet of 70/20/10% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/cabernet franc. They must be magic numbers, because this is an enchanting outcome. The aromas are like perfume: all floral, blackberries and exotic spices. But it is the palate that really puts...

Giant Steps Wombat Creek Pinot Noir 2022

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

Giant Steps Fatal Shore Pinot Noir 2022

Region: TAS (Tasmania)
Vegan-friendly

Avani Issan Pinot Noir 2021

Xanadu Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
