Wine Summary

With origins in Spain and southern France, where he still regularly distinguishes himself, this impressive figure first set foot here in 1840 and today also calls South Australia home. The Governor General may have been around a while but has an eye to the future. He mixes effortlessly, but is bold enough to stand alone. Possessed of great potential strength and power, he more often displays his lighter side, with seductive charm and finesse. For many, his approachable style is very refreshing, and even at his most chilled, you’ll always receive a warm welcome.

Wine Summary

For the Marauding Vintners, wine is not a commodity! For these guys, it’s where art and nature merge in an expression of people, place and time. They know where real wine is found, often well off the beaten track, and they devote time to tracking down the genuine characters. Meet the distinguished, enigmatic Mr. Noir. Despite rumours of a noble French background, you detect no trace of an accent nowadays. Once, mystery hung about him. A solitary, often elusive presence, held in reverence by a fiercely devoted band of followers. Their loyalty remains, their numbers have grown, but Mr. Noir now moves freely from place to place. Though still a singular character, the haunting mystique has evolved into bright charm, evident class – and the alluring ability to light up any room and occasion.

Wine Summary

Trophy and Top Gold medal-winning, 96pt Hungerford Hill Tempranillo Graciano is a captivating fusion of two Spanish grape varieties, influenced by the unique terroir of the Hilltops. Look for ripe red fruit aromas like cherry and raspberry from the Tempranillo, along with a touch of black fruit complexity from the Graciano. Subtle floral notes and a hint of dried herbs also emerge. The French oak aging adds layers of vanilla, toasted spices and a touch of smokiness. This delicious high-scoring red blend effortlessly complements Mediterranean dishes, roasted vegetables and aged cheeses. This is "... raring to go" (Ned Goodwin MW, Halliday Wine Companion).

Wine Summary

Ludovic Roussillon is one of the top viticulteurs in Bordeaux’s Entre-Deux-Mers. He knows how to coax the very best out of his soils to get the most flavour in his grapes. Work hard in the vineyard and the wine almost makes itself, he says. We’ve worked with Ludovic for a number of years, enjoying both his red and his white from Château Le Coin. This is another wine from his vineyards – mostly Merlot, with a little Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon – all vinified to bring out the fruit richness, supported by sleek tannins. Rethink Bordeaux with this supple, generously fruity, rounded red. It’s already drinking really well, with or without food. Roast beef, full flavoured pasta dishes, charcuterie, cheese – this wine is very versatile.

Wine Summary

Selected from a single vineyard located at New Residence in South Australia's Riverland, overlooking the Murray River. Planted in 1998 on rich red sandy loam over limestone, the Grenache is both concentrated and vibrant. A bouquet of lifted strawberry leads you to a medium-bodied expression of fresh cherry and raspberry. The silky smooth, fine-grained tannins add complexity. "Elegant and beautifully aromatic on the nose showing sweet plum, rich floral, olive and subtle savoury notes, leading to a gorgeously rounded palate offering succulent fruit flavours with supple texture and fine tannins. Wonderfully layered with delectable flavours, finishing long and refined... 93pts" (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit).
