Starward Nova Single Malt Australian Whisky 700ml

Amisfield Pinot Noir 2022

Amisfield was established in 1988 and is a Central Otago based specialist producer of Pinot Noir and aromatic white wines, sourced from fruit grown on their Single Vineyard Estate, situated beneath the glacially sculptured Pisa mountain range. Vineyards are managed holistically through organic practices focused around nurturing Amisfield’s unique soils, vines and habitats – this combined with a rugged inland location and an extreme semi-continental climate, yields wines of remarkable purity, intensity and vibrancy. The vineyard at Amisfield Estate beneath the dramatic Pisa mountain range of Central Otago is New Zealand’s most spectacular wine region. The privately owned estate, once a prominent high country merino sheep station, is now one of the largest single vineyard estates in the Central Otago region with over 90 Ha (222 acres) planted and farmed organically. The rugged inland location affords a semi-continental climate, with exceptionally cold winters, hot summers, cool evenings and low rainfall. This unforgiving environment gives generously to flavour. The unique growing conditions combined with glacially derived soils produce wines of remarkable purity, intensity and vibrancy. A state-of-the-art purpose-built winery is the focal point of the vineyard and is designed to enable winemakers to craft wines with minimal intervention and as naturally as possible. At Amisfield they are committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility at every step of the process. The vineyard is now managed entirely organically and is in conversion to full organic certification with New Zealand’s leading organic certification body BioGro. The Amisfield experience extends to a world-class Bistro & Cellar Door at Lake Hayes, Queenstown.

Grown and made exclusively in Marlborough, New Zealand, Twin Islands Sauvignon Blanc is the essence of the region.

Metala Semper Fidelis Shiraz Cabernet 2021

The Metala Semper Fidelis Shiraz Cabernet 2021 has a soft cocoa/mocha character with blackberries, cassis and dark fruits. Compote of berries, with cedar and nutmeg. A touch of mint and eucalyptus add complexity and regional typicality. Elegant and approachable in its youth, this wine will continue to develop over time. It is with time that the true character of these old vines will reveal their true beauty.

Henschke Cyril Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

99% cabernet sauvignon and 1% merlot grown on the Cyril Henschke Vineyard on the Henschke Eden Valley property, managed with organic and biodynamic practices. Matured in 8% new and 92% seasoned French oak hogsheads for 18 months prior to blending and bottling. This wine carries the name of Stephen's father, fourth- generation Henschke winemaker, Cyril Henschke (1924-1979); a tribute to one of Australia's outstanding winemaking pioneers, who was renowned for old-vine, single-vineyard and quality varietal table wines. Cyril planted cabernet sauvignon at the Henschke Eden Valley property in the late 1960s. The cabernet sauvignon vines, along with cabernet franc and merlot, are planted on a north facing slope, and are managed with organic and biodynamic practices. First produced as a single-vineyard wine in 1978, Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon celebrates the incredible beauty that emerges from the vibrant rows of this Eden Valley vineyard, revered for its texture, depth, complexity and fine-grained tannins.

Swinney Farvie Mourvedre 2022

This is just the second release of Farvie Mourvèdre, a wine crafted from a draconian selection of dry-grown bush vine Mourvèdre on the same kidney-shaped patch of dirt as the vines for the Farvie Grenache in the Wilson’s Pool vineyard. The vines here face northeast on leaner topsoil and with a higher percentage of coarse lateritic gravel; the roots have now made it down into the clay beneath. Meticulous fruit-thinning and selective hand-harvesting over multiple passes ensured Swinney achieved fruit as close to perfect as possible. 

Last year’s release fermented entirely as whole bunches. This year, the bunches and berries were smaller, requiring Mann to tweak the percentage (66%) to achieve the perfect balance. According to Mann, the Farvie Mourvèdre loves bunches: “It helps to balance the wildness, gaminess and rustiness of the fruit while accentuating the spice element of the wine.” Regarding the process, the wine spent 11 days on skins before being pressed to large, fine-grained, seasoned French oak vessels, where it matured for 11 months. 

As if last year’s wine didn’t set the bar high enough! “It might be my favourite wine I’ve ever made from Swinney,” says Rob Mann. “It’s so pretty; there’s a lovely natural balance and vitality that’s sometimes hard to capture. It’s pretty close to being a very, very good wine.” 

Stonier Gainsborough Park Chardonnay 2019

As always, this is a very individual Chardonnay, showing intense pink grapefruit with lemon rind aromas and hints of attractive oak.  The palate is expansive, with the acid buoyant throughout rather than a driving directive force. This is certainly an intriguing Chardonnay, with a basket full of different characters, from creamy smoky earthy mushroom to sweet lemon and honey. There is a nice textural presence which will no doubt build with more time.

Tyrrells Vat 9 Hunter Valley Shiraz 2021

Vibrant purple in colour, a regal nose showing lifted spice, dark fruits and subtle hint of oak. The palate is medium-bodied showing great intensity and the velvety texture that is seen in the best wines from this vintage. The palate structure is effortless with no rough edges showing wonderful balance of fruit, acid, oak and tannin.

Pyramid Valley Snake's Tongue Pinot Noir 2022

This is the second release of Pyramid Valley’s Snake’s Tongue Pinot Noir from the estate’s impressive Mānatu vineyard, located in the Lowburn sub-region of Central Otago. Planted in the mid-2000s by Jean and Roger Gibson, the former Lowburn Ferry property sits on a gentle, north-facing slope in the foothills of the Pisa Ranges. A key trait of the site is its soils: loess over deep silts that have developed pedogenic lime deposits. With high pH and suitability for growing world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, these soils proved the main drawcard for winemaker Huw Kinch, viticulturist Nick Paulin and owner Steve Smith MW.  The 10.2-hectare property is home to a patchwork of Pinot Noir clones—Abel, 667, 777, 114, 115, 943, 828, 115 and clone 5—playing into Kinch’s preference for clonal mix in the vineyard and the winery. The Snake’s Tongue block is a 1.9-hectare plot in the southeast corner of the vineyard, with this release drawn from a 0.7-hectare parcel of Abel clone planted in 2007. (The remaining 1.2 hectares comprises new high-density vines—clones 828, 943 and 115—planted in 2018/2019.)

Seppeltsfield Barossa Touriga 2022

The 2022 Seppeltsfield Barossa Touriga wine is a thick-skinned, intensely coloured grape, Touriga Nacional (abbreviated to Touriga) has been made famous by the Portuguese fortified wine expression, ‘Vintage Port’ (VP).Medium-bodied, opulent fruit sweetness, with juicy acidity and gravely tannins.

Grant Burge Cameron Vale Cabernet 2022

Sweet fruited blackberry and cherry with hints of mint combining with slick tannins and a velvety texture. The flavours are long and persistent with the dried spice most prevalent and mouth coating. Wine has moderate density with enticing balance and complexity.

Tyrrells Vat 1 Hunter Valley Semillon 2018

Our Vat 1 Semillon is only ever made using fruit from our best old-vine, dry-grown vineyards. The centrepiece is always our Short Flat vineyard, where the oldest plantings date back to 1923. The soil profile in this dry-grown vineyard is unlike that of any of our other vineyards, providing the Vat 1 with its amazing length and depth of fruit.  Vintage 2018 was another strong Semillon vintage in the Hunter Valley. Dry, warm conditions that were similar to 2003 meant cropping levels were much smaller than average and produced wines with robust flavours and softer acids. All of the fruit was hand picked and carefully sorted in the vineyard. After a relatively cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine spent a minimal time on yeast lees before being bottled early to maintain its freshness. No oak fermentation or maturation.  Delicate citrus aromas. The palate has a density and depth of fruit which only comes from special vineyard blocks. This robust fruit profile is balanced by the wines texture and soft acid profile giving it an approachability now, however will age well into the future.  Alcohol – 12.0% Cellaring – 10+ years

Nightfall Aquila Cabernet Franc 2019

Nightfall wines are the epitome of luxury, style and exclusivity. Crafted from a pristine single vineyard site in the heart of Coonawarra. The Nightfall Aquila Cabernet Franc 2019 opens with perfumed florals on the nose then moves into bright red fruit on the palate. The chalky fine tannins play a significant role while the oak remains perfectly in harmony.

Wirra Wirra The Absconder Grenache 2022

Absconder Grenache is made from a vineyard planted in the time of Wirra Wirra’s founder Robert Strangways Wigley. Wigley was an eccentric whose lust for life had at times seen him fall foul of the law in his home town. In fact, one episode involving the ‘acquisition’ of the famous Adelaide pie-cart and a joy ride through the city streets was the catalyst for banishment to McLaren Vale. However Wigley did not abscond into the wilderness. He became known for his world class wines - including fortifieds made with the grenache of the day - and helped to build the reputation of McLaren Vale.

Turkey Flat Shiraz 2021

This highly acclaimed Shiraz has received numerous awards since its first vintage in 1990. However, it's the versatility of this wine, in the way it embraces both power and elegance that is most impressive. This Shiraz is a result of a very intricate blending process. After each parcel of fruit is individually vinified & aged in specially selected French oak barrels, the final blend is created with careful consideration to upholding its reputation for cellaring gracefully, retaining its freshness and balance for many years.

MMAD Vineyard Grenache 2021

Lovely mild ripening conditions produced Grenache of great intensity. There is a purity and a density, but also a lightness that belies the energy and power of the fruit.  The aromatics are intense and perfumed with notes of raspberry coulis, cinnamon and a hint of fennel seed which unfurl in the glass. The grapes were mostly destemmed and fermented as whole berries in open concrete and stainless steel before ageing in used 500 litre puncheons.

John Duval Annexus Mataro 2021

First planted in Barossa in the 1850’s, the region is today a rich source of old vine Mataro, including the oldest known vineyards in the world. Our relationships with local grape growing families provide privileged access to many exceptional old Mataro vineyards from which we produce wine for our Plexus Red blend. Encouraged by the response to our initial bottlings of small parcels of Grenache under the Annexus label, we extended the idea of presenting the best of the varietal components of Plexus to Mataro with the first release from the highly praised 2016 vintage.

Bests Thomson Family Great Western Shiraz 2019

The Thomson Family Shiraz is produced predominantly from the fifteen rows of vines planted by Henry Best in 1868 and only available in exceptional years, on average about six times a decade.

Alkina Polygon #1 Shiraz 2022

There are three polygons that have, since the very early days, looked like they could stand apart as Single Polygon wines. Polygon 3 is 0.274 hectares (ha) and approximately 200 vines. Its soil profile is shallow red brown earth over deep chalky, sedimentary limestone which contains fractured schist and limited iron. Polygon 5 comprises two similar parcels of 0.12ha and 0.25ha, a total of 0.37ha. These Polygon 5 sections have deeper soils and well fractured schist with ferric clay (within the fractures).  Polygon 1 was defined in Pedro’s second visit in 2018. The block is 0.4ha which Pedro divided into separate areas and recommended that we exclude one section of 0.097ha which lacks the fractured schist of the other sections.

de Bortoli Wizardry Grenache 2020

Clever, surprising, magical… with a bit of the dark arts thrown in. This wine style is light, gentle, textured. The wine of the warmer regions.

Champagne Laherte Freres Les Grandes Crayeres 2018  (Disg. Dec 2021)

After the Brut Nature, this stunning Champagne is Aurélien Laherte’s second Blanc de Blancs bottling. Les Grandes Crayères showcases Laherte’s two most chalky, mineral soils in Côteaux Sud d’Épernay (crayères means ‘chalk’). These parcels of 40-plus-year-old massale selection vines are situated on a west-facing hillside composed of Campanian chalk under 20cm of topsoil.     The base wine was fermented wild in old barrels (aged three to 10 years) and didn’t go through malo, emphasising the wine’s chiselled qualities. It then spent 30 months on lees in bottle, and a further nine months resting after disgorgement before commercial release. The dosage was less than four grams per litre and the bottling was hand-disgorged.

Nightfall Lupus Merlot 2019

Nightfall wines are the epitome of luxury, style and exclusivity. Crafted from a pristine single vineyard site in the heart of Coonawarra.

Lenton Brae Margaret River Cabernet Merlot 2022

A classic Margaret River blend, the tannin of cabernet sauvignon beautifully complements the mid palate fruitiness and softness of the merlot. The tannins are very fine, and  soft, adding structure and length to the immediately approachable  palate.
