Centuries of history and territory, encapsulated in and narrated by a wine that is famous the world over. You read Chianti, and you think of the hills, villages, parish churches and farmhouses where time has stood still since the peak era of beauty and taste, keeping them intact and authentic. This Chianti has a deep ruby colour, with reasonable depth and 'legs' indicating good structure. Perfumes of cherries and fresh red fruit, mingle with spicy, peppery notes. Lively and fresh in the mouth, with soft, rounded tannins. Good intensity, attractive structure and fine, long length.

The southern hairy-nosed wombat is stout and robust, perfectly adapted to the harsh environment in which it lives. Like the might of the little wombat, Hairy Nose is crafted from premium regional South Australia fruit from established vineyards that deliver character and interest well above their size and weight. This Pinot Noir is a bold, great expression of the variety. Made in a hands off manner with generous aromas of vanilla bean, red berries and Autumn leaves with a hint of spicy oak. The palate is polished and precise with good complexity and concentration. Pair with mushroom risotto.

The southern hairy-nosed wombat is stout and robust, perfectly adapted to the harsh environment in which it lives. Likewise, the thick, gnarled vineyards of McLaren Vale produce small bunches of intensely flavoured grapes from the ancient soils and dry climate. This is a bold red wine that is rich with dark and red berry flavours. The presence of berries from older vines deliver blackberry plum flavours with vanilla, milk chocolate and fresh leather on the palate. The mouth-feel is plush and cuddly with velvety tannins and a long finish.

Nice, vibrant ruby red colour. Sweetly scented and classically "Martinborough" with a nice balance of red cherry, pretty florals and savoury, earthy notes. A delicious array of ripe and succulent red berry/cherry flavours and layers. Lovely spice and quite a lot of fruit and oak sweetness on the finish, complimented nicely by silky tannins and delicate acidity. Nice, fresh and youthful Pinot Noir expression. Great drinking now and will cellar nicely for 5 plus years. Food match with braised rabbit pappardelle.

This full bodied Pinot Noir from Waipara has classic dark plum, ripe blackberries and spicy warm chocolate notes. A beautiful match with New Zealand lamb, crispy duck, or any dish with equally robust flavours.

This enticing Pinot Noir is full of attitude, style and extravagance. You will fall for its vibrant colour and juicy red fruit flavours. Aromas of decadent spice and sweet cherry are delivered with a fleshy, fruit driven, seamless finish. Seriously Sassy.

Deep ruby in appearance with aromas of dark fruit, such as blackcurrents, plums and boysenberries. Layered beneath there are also hints of tobacco, liquorice and cloves.

Ironclad shows dark fruits; plums and berries, wildflowers, crushed rock, and iodine, all creating a complex and lifted aroma profile. The palate shows good density which is balanced with coastal freshness and finishes with a core of powerful tannins. A rare dominance of Merlot over Cabernet Franc gives the wine good early accessibility but clearly a wine suited to ageing.

You will fall prey to this wine from the first furtive glance. Crackling black fern and toasted nori rise from the glass, making way for seasoned split acacia, roasted beetroot and freshly uprooted truffle. Warm poached plum, tay berries and dark chocolate gateaux with coffee buttercream icing form a warm welcome as do notes of rich beef consume, sweet violets and a dash of tomato. Palate notes of oven baked wild oats, dark sticky prunes and sun-dried beef jerky. The tannins sit between rhubarb crumble and central plateau pumice. Following with a suggestion of marmite sourdough toast, soft roasted eggplant, rubbed oregano and warm caramel brulee.
