Limbrey Distilling Company, blending traditional distilling craft with contemporary art. The reversible bottle can be displayed in many ways and provides a clear canvas for the iconic ‘Floral Skull’, from the series of artworks by internationally recognised, London-based Shanghainese artist Jacky Tsai, originally made famous by Alexander McQueen. Floral Skull is a striking commentary on beauty and decay, masculine and feminine, mortality and spirituality. Acclaimed globally, the iconic skull series defies boundaries. D1 is made using a very narrow cut of the purist triple-distilled grain spirit at 96.2% ABV which is then introduced to a copper pot still. A batch distillation is then conducted with juniper berries and bespoke botanicals including coriander, orange and lemon peel, angelica root, cassia bark, orris, almond and liquorice. Lastly added is a daring kick of nettles selected especially for D1 by a master tea blender, the nettles infused and blended with D1's botanicals to create this unique 40% ABV gin of extraordinary British character.

NEW TO RANGE Cockies Ocean Road Pale Ale A crisp, refreshing Blonde Ale, made with quality Australian malted barley. Made from four malts: Pilsener, Munich, Crystal and malted wheat, resulting in a lovely golden colour and a light, balanced body. Malt gives body and flavour to the beer. The slightly sweet taste of the malt is offset by the bitterness of the hops used, resulting in a pleasant ‘mouth feel’ and a lasting, refreshing taste. Three hop types are used in the whirlpool (Cascade, Hallertauer and Northern Brewer) giving some tropical fruits and citrus flavours, and a smooth bitterness. R "The excitement I get out of brewing beer actually started many years ago (around 1970) at Pharmacy College in Melbourne. I stayed at Ridley College, which was a dry theological college and you weren't allowed to have beer or wine there, so I brewed my beer secretly in a cupboard. It was shocking but good fun and the alcohol content was quite high which was certainly the main aim of the exercise! I'd like to think I've matured since then - my main aim now with my brews is to create appealing aromas, complex flavours, freshness and drinkability. That sounds pretty mature, doesn't it?" Cockies Surf Coast Blonde Ale B JAMIE ROYDHOUSE Notes V = vegan RA The Barrabool Hills Brewing Company, based in the Barrabool Hills just outside of Geelong and lead by Master Brewer, Jamie Roydhouse, produces small batch craft beers. Jamie was born and bred in Geelong. He has been experimenting with brewing for most of his life and has recently planted a small patch of hops on his farm in the Barrabool Hills overlooking Geelong. Jamie holidays in Lorne and has a great passion for craft brews, naming his first commercial brew Cockies after the cockatoos that live around his home in Lorne.

Making real craft beer takes time: from gathering sustainable firewood on local farms, to sealing the wood-fire stove and kettle the old-school way with rolled strips of rye dough; from chopping wood into pieces just the right size, to weaving a filter-bed of local straw for the oak-barrel mash tuns; from the vigorous boil of all-natural ingredients caramelising in the kettle, to the subtle nuances of shallow, open fermentation; from hand-bottling and sealing every single bottle produced, to weeks and months of secondary fermentation and bottle-conditioning. It’s a labour of love that requires patience and dedication. Maris and Kristi focus this dedication towards producing the best quality products, using as many local ingredients as possible in a sustainable manner. Robe, Limestone Coast, South Australia Established 2013 Made by Maris Biezaitis www.robetownbrewery.com Robe Town Brewery "(...). It was George Lord Senior - variously referred to as blacksmith, publican, brewer, farmer, pioneer, colonialist and the "oldest inhabitant of Robe" - who first began commercially brewing a local beer (...). For reasons muted by history, his time in the brewing game didn't last long, even though his pub did, and mention of the Robe Town Brewery brand all but vanished after 1869. Vanished, that is, until Maris Biezaitis and his family moved in. Maris is reviving Lord's vision for a local brew, by bundling together all that's good in the world - hops, malt, wood fire, creativity and small scale production - to present a first-rate line-up of compelling beers. Which takes us back to that amber ale I mentioned, along with the red gum burning in the hearth. Maris' brewing techniques all focus around wood fire and sustainability, a one-two combo that is unique in Australia. "Wood fire adds a bit of caramelisation to the beer we make", says Maris, placing a log or two in the brewery's warmhearted engine. "But there's also something more - perhaps an intangible quality - to using wood to fire the operation. The character of the area, and warmth, become deeply embedded in the product, because of the way it's made." Call it magic, call it locality - call it what you will - but even something as simple as a steak tastes different when cooked on a wood-fired stovetop, as opposed to an electric one. You can find the same taste deviations between a regular craft beer and something from Robe Town Brewery's stable. (...)." Sally Wilson, Alquimie, 'The Australian Table' supplement, Edition Six '15 Pale Ale "(...) like looking into a honey jar. It's a deep, thirstquencher of an ale with a distinctive hops kick to finish, brought on by a technique using late hop additions. Flowers appear when you raise up a glass and smell it, while the brew pours with a reassuring, yet non-intrusive, slathering of froth." Sally Wilson, Alquimie, 'The Australian Table' supplement, Edition Six '15 Amber Ale "(...) bursting at the seams with chocolate and caramel on the nose. It has a friendly sweetness and liveliness in the mouth, that encourages you to search out the full range of tastes on offer. It's like caramelized onions to look at but more indulgent, like eating good chocolate, to taste." Sally Wilson, Alquimie, 'The Australian Table' supplement, Edition Six '15 Shearer's Joy Farmhouse Ale An easy-drinking ale made with ingredients and methods used in the colonial era, when beer made on an outback station was called just that – Shearer’s Joy. Pale in colour, refreshing and lightly tart from a partial sour mash of malt and potatoes. Light additions of the wild horehound herb, ginger, and home-grown hops add a zesty zing. Original Blonde Ale W’sale LUC 78.00 3.25 Notes 330 ml x 24 BOTTLE CASE ¿¿HISTORY OR LEGEND? ABOUT Made with water, barley malt, hops, yeast, honey and sugar, Rosita Original is a honey coloured elegant ale yet rich with creamy and persistent foam. The appearance is cloudy due to the presence of yeast in the second fermentation. The beer displays aromas such as banana and red apple with subtle but complex notes of molasses. The palate is sweet at first, full bodied, lifted and complex with fruit, honey and toasted grain flavours. The aftertaste is elegant, with a fine bitterness. There is a very subtle balsamic note which leaves a clean and fresh finish without any heaviness. Rosita is an ideal aperitif but its subtle bitterness and fruitiness also make it perfect to pair with blue cheese, camembert, asparagus, artichokes, salads, grilled vegetables and snails. White meat and oily fish will also complement it well. You may want to also consider inviting Rosita to your BBQ or Mexican meal. On Calle del Hospital (Hospital Street) in Tarragona, Spain, Jaume Comte managed a small detergent plant called 'Jabones y Lejia la Gardenia' (La Gardenia Soaps and Bleach). In the town lived a young seamstress named Nuria, 'the young girl with a ponytail'. Despite their social class differences and his family’s disapproval, Jaume began seeing Nuria. The couple fell madly in love and wed, promising each other eternal love! From that moment, Jaume’s family made life difficult for the couple. Jaume’s business had begun to struggle and with 'special help' from his family, eventually, it fell into bankruptcy. Nuria returned to sewing but struggled because her reputation had suffered due to the neglect from Jaume’s family. Jaume also struggled in finding work, and by this time his family had disowned him. In the face of this adversity, on April 23rd the couple’s Daughter was born! At birth Rosita barely cried, she had inherited her father’s strong personality and her mother’s freshness. The day of Rosita’s Baptism, a relative and well know literary in Tarragona, Domenech Guanse Salesas, encouraged the family to turn adversity into opportunity. He suggested they move to Cuba and start a new life. Although the family found some success in Cuba, their hearts were in Tarragona. Rosita and her family returned to Tarragona. Rosita began to mature, with brown hair, nut-brown almond shaped eyes and full lips, she was strong willed and beautiful. With his experiences in Cuba and determination to provide for his family, Jaume began brewing beer and with that Rosita de Tarragona was born! A stylish yet simple beer determined to establish itself as a premier Spanish Ale.

Open this with a good steak and you'll get the perfect anti-frost combination." HAMISH MACGOWAN Tony Love, www.taste.com.au, June '15 Angus the Bull was a simple idea that just wouldn't go away. It soon became an obsession and then when it reached the point where it occupied all his waking moments, Hamish finally decided 'enough was enough' and in 2003 he established the Aberdeen Wine Company to turn this unique concept into a reality. With all his energy now focused entirely on creating a new brand positioned to provide the ideal vinous accompaniment to prime beef, he chose to work exclusively with Cabernet Sauvignon and set about locating the most promising parcels from across Victoria and South Australia. Confident he had achieved the required wine style and developed a very deliberate marketing strategy backed up with some smart packaging, Hamish launched his debut 2002 vintage of 'The Bull' and hasn't looked back since. "This is the second release of Angus The Bull cabernet since it moved from being a multiregional blend to being sourced from a single region: Central Victoria. The wine remains its consistent, reliable, dependable self. It delivers a clean, hearty serve of dark, berried flavour, its more subtle tones of leather, earth and gum leaf but minor players to that sure, berried core. This is ready to drink now but it won’t fall over in a hurry; it has the balance to sail on for quite a few years." Central Victoria, Victoria Established in 2003 Made by Hamish MacGowan www.angusthebull.com "91 points" Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, www.winefront.com.au, May '15 "(...) nicely full, a medium-bodied wine that works beautifully with whatever you care to put on the grill." "The style is meant from the ground up to accompany barbecued meat, particularly beef. The tannins are soft, the bouquet is a combination of oak flavours (vanilla, caramel) and herbal aromas from the grapes. The palate is nicely full, a medium-bodied wine that works beautifully with whatever you care to put on the grill. It has a fair amount of mint in it, and I would think it would work equally well with lamb or beef. If there’s nothing you like more than a quiet evening in, a good steak with maybe a baked potato and salad, this is a wine you should try."

Having made Heathcote shiraz with his brother under their TWOFOLD label for a couple of years and tasted nigh on every wine being made in the region, he felt there was the potential to deliver better quality and better value Heathcote shiraz. The first ARCHER was released from the 2005 vintage. NICK STOCK “I’m aiming for approachability, elegance and complexity. Wine for drinking.” Nick Stock Heathcote, Victoria Established in 2004 Made by Nick Stock The 2013 season was ideal in Heathcote with lower yields across all clones of Shiraz and grapes harvested in perfect condition. After partial destemming, each parcel was fermented with a high proportion of whole bunches (approx 75%) utilising ambient yeasts. The resulting components were then aged in French oak puncheons (30% new) for 10 months. The components were then racked, blended together and returned to barrel for a further 6 months. This wine wine has received no additions other than a small amount of sulphur at bottling. 13.5% alcohol. This is a wine that marries the inherently fleshy and rich character of Heathcote Shiraz with fragrance and perfume. It’s bursting with aromas of blackberry, blueberry and dark cherry as well as chocolate, musky perfume and attractive oak spice. The palate has lithe and juicy texture, really full and round, the core flavours of red cherry, blueberry and dark plum fruits are wrapped in fine long and smooth tannins. Finishes with tangy plum stone freshness. ARCHER Eagle Eye Heathcote Shiraz A single parcel fermented on skins for 36 days in two small open fermenters with no de-stemming or additions. Smells of complex musk and red fruit fragrance, some spice and layered black fruits, hints of minerals and wild berries. The palate is all about finesse and elegance with deceptive concentration, length and power – tannins are layered in soft sheeted formation.

Greg Follett of Lake Breeze Wines created Bullant, a great range of approachable, drink-now wines, using fruit from the Follett family vineyard. The playful label was inspired by the bullants which are known to harass vineyard workers. As is the case with the Lake Breeze wines, the Bullant range over-delivers, possessing vibrant fruit flavours with palate richness and offer great value. THE FOLLETT FAMILY William Hill, the great, great, great grandfather of current Winemaker, Greg Follett, first took up land in Langhorne Creek in the 1850s. His grand-daughter later married Arthur John Follett, who established the first vineyards on the property during the 1880s. Today, Lake Breeze is still very much a family operation; Ken and Marlene Follett are proprietors, their son Greg is winemaker, Greg's brother Roger is General Manager, other brother Tim is Viticulturist, Greg's wife Robyn looks after Marketing, Tim's wife Dionne looks after the finances, and Kate Cooper, the Follett boys' niece, who always has a warm welcome for visitors in Cellar Door, waves the flag for the next generation of the Lake Breeze family.

ABOUT Vincent Géré was the Chief Winemaker of Blue Pyrenees Estate for over 12 years and is director of the Cognacs and Estates of Rémy Martin. His father Henri Gere was the Cellarmaster of several Chateaux in Medoc, Pontet-Canet, Malescasse and Lafon Rochet. Together they planned Dellys, one vineyard in Australia, one vineyard in France. Dellys has a double history. Dellys was named after the "Dallys" cottage, the old coach stop during the gold rush near the Gere’s vineyards in Australia. Coincidentally, “Dellys” was also the name of the Garnier family property in the ancient wine region of Kabylie.

Only the very deep soils allow the root system of the vines to develop and extract the rare nutrients. The red clay, metamorphised in red stones is terrific for the Shiraz of course but also for Cabernet Sauvignon. The Limestone of Petite Champagne in Cognac is very deep. The vineyard is on a gentle slope facing south, called La Côte Blanche. The hill is made of chalk layered in limestone of several tens of metres deep. The chalk acts as a sponge, absorbing the humidity when raining and releasing it in case of drought. Exposed fully to the south, La Côte Blanche enjoys one of the best climates at the heart of the Cognac region, a perfect terroir for chardonnay which can express its elegance and intense mineral character. La Côte Blanche Chardonnay (France) Elegant with an intense minerality. Citrus aromas and flavours, fresh spices and 'sauvignon hints'; powerful and refined. The Redstone Cabernet (Australia) The strict barrel selection is reflected in lovely structure: full soft tannins with a touch of the regional character - the mintiness sits just below the fruitiness and delivers elegance and length. La Petite Syrah (Australia) Young and vibrant shiraz aged in French oak to discreetly soften tannins and allow the Pyrenees fruit to come to the fore. The vineyard is low yielding at 1.8 tonne per acre, everything in the vineyard is completed at the highest level with select bunch thining, picking by hand, and essentially dry grown. The full tonnage is harvested with selected parcels being put into a varied oak regime to mature. The final blend is a selection of individual barrels. Generous value for money, an excellent choice for Victorian wine by the glass. A traditional French approach to respect the sunbathed Australian fruit.

Blackcurrant, bay leaves, mulberry and undergrowthy/tobacco-like notes. It builds a good head of steam without overdoing it, and then finishes the job admirably through the finish. A picture of composure." Campbell Mattinson, James Halliday's Wine Companion '16 2013 Margaret River Shiraz "93+ points" This is something of a ‘do yourself a favour’ wine. It’s the kind of wine that won’t leave anyone disappointed, for starters, but it’s also impressive. It’s hearty, stylish, deep-fruited and yet bright. Red liquorice, blackberry, cloves and smoky oak notes, with a gently mineral edge to the tannin/finish. It’s not loose; it’s firm. But the flesh of the fruit keeps it accessible. Well priced and well good." Campbell Mattison, The Wine Front, July '15 2015 Sauvigon Blanc Semillon "92 points" "(...). Thistle, tomato plant, lime and guava, with a whisper of vanilla.

However it only blooms if the conditions affecting climate, soil, frost, wind and place of planting are in harmony. Perfume, structure and elegance are the three essential elements to produce beautifully crafted and distinct wines. These are represented by the three leaves in the Flametree logo. By winning Australia's most well-known and respected wine accolade, the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy, with their first ever red wine, Flametree Wines quickly captured the attention of wine media, trade and consumers. A five star rating in James Halliday's definitive Australian Wine Companion since 2013 ranks Flametree Wines in the top 5% of all of Australia’s wineries. Flametree Wines "Flametree is a fine stage for experienced Margaret River winemaker Cliff Royle to strut his stuff sourcing parcels from a number of different sub-regions and varieties. While Flametree focused largely on Margaret River, it also sources shiraz from Frankland River. Royle’s style is generously flavoured but laid-back and polished, so Flametree typically delivers finesse and elegance and with that, longevity. The sub-regional selection of Wallcliffe chardonnay, the SRS, is a perfect example." Jeremy Oliver, Australian Wine Annual '15 Margaret River, Western Australia Established in 2007 Made by Cliff Royle and Julian Scott www.flametreewines.com "95 points, Special Value, Best of the Best by Variety" "Free-run juice, wild-fermented in stainless steel and French oak. This approach works well in building mouthfeel without taking the edge off the passionfruit, guava and grapefruit flavours of the totally seductive palate." James Halliday's Wine Companion '16 "95 points" "S.R.S. Stands for sub-regional series and in this case it’s cool Karridale. This is a fabulous sauvignon blanc because it’s textural, creamy, savoury and moreish. Hints of preserved lemon, pine needles and flinty notes." Jane Faulkner, Halliday Magazine, Oct/Nov '15 "2nd place, Top 100 Wines of the Year" "Outstanding example of taking sauvignon blanc to another plain of complexity and interest, with some additional work in the winery. It’s a classy sauvignon blanc. It comes from the Karridale subregion south of Margaret River. Some French oak fermentation brings a high degree of complexity to the refined and pure fruit. The screws have been tightened to introduce a strong savoury character which carries through to the long finish." Ray Jordan, Top 100 Wines of '15 2013 SRS Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon "95 points" "From a single vineyard in Wilyabrup. Invariably a pleasure tasting Cabernet from Margaret River. Such a great wine region. Dark chocolate, violets, bramble fruit, baking spices and a subtle aniseed lift. Medium to full bodied, again the dark chocolate and mixed berry flavour, with delightfully rich and minerally black tea tannin, well settled acidity and a powerful tannic finish. Nice to see a local Cabernet that’s not afraid to load in the structure."

Ninety-five percent of all thoroughbred racehorses today trace back to this one stallion. Like only the best thoroughbred families, we believe the wines of Darley will stand the test of time. The vineyards and winemakers sourced for these wines deliver on the expectation their pedigree suggests. We hope you agree and endeavour to always improve the wine ‘breed’. Sandro Mosele was winemaker at Victoria's Mornington Peninsula winery, Kooyong, from 1996 to 2015. It is here that he really made his mark, helping Kooyong to become a leading regional winery. He became winemaker at Port Phillip Estate after Giorgio Gjergja, owner of Port Phillip Estate, bought Kooyong in 2004. Sandro also makes the wines of Graillot in Heathcote together with Alain Graillot, one of the superstars of France's northern Rhône Valley (in Crozes-Hermitage). The Foal Sparkling Brut This is a non-vintage sparkling, created as such to maintain flavour consistency year to year. It is crisp and fresh with hints of citrus and pear, finishing with a lovely balanced acidity. A perfect aperitif style with immediately appealing freshness of fruit and crisp mouth-feel. The Filly Pinot Gris The Darley Pinot Gris has a beautiful musky fragrance with hints of peach, apricot and pear. The palate is crisp and fresh with a nice acid backbone, finishes dry with wonderful length of flavours.

A love story ensued inspired by two vows: To preserve the best of tradition, the old world of wine and our unique old vineyards and to champion the best clones of each variety planted in the most appropriate sites embracing the principals of organic and biodynamic farming. Seven long vintages of trial and error passed before Heirloom Vineyards could make a wine that was fine enough to pass on to future generations. That is this wine. The Salopian Inn in Mclaren Vale is the home of Heirloom Vineyards and their Cellar Door.

It celebrates passion, persistence and the genuine connection between people and land. Each wine is hand crafted and under goes an arduous selection process before it makes it into a Helen’s Hill bottle. As we know, great wine is made in the vineyard and as such only small select parcels of fruit from certain rows of our single vineyard site are hand picked at harvest. Each wine is fermented in select French oak barrels. Prior to bottling, each barrel is tasted and ranked with only the best barrels selected for the Helen’s Hill range. SCOTT MCCARTHY From the moment Winemaker Scott McCarthy was old enough to walk, his father had him in the family vineyard picking grapes. Scott joined Yalumba and after spending 10 years working in the Barossa Valley, he spent a number of years in areas as diverse as the USA's Napa Valley, the Loire Valley and Languedoc regions in France, and Marlborough, in New Zealand. He came to realise that making wines from a cool climate region was where his true winemaking passion lay, and as a result he settled back in Australia at one of the best cool climate regions in the world, the Yarra Valley.

Nyall also makes the Bellarine Peninsula's highly awarded Flying Brick Ciders. Nyall’s approach to winemaking is very much about minimal intervention and retaining the natural characters of each varietal – the fruit is the hero. Creative and thoughtful use of oak is another aspect of Nyall’s winemaking mantra – each year different - to best suit the ‘temperament’ and requirements of the varietal and the varying nature of each vintage. “I see Jack Rabbit wines being ‘honest’ wines – clean, fresh, sophisticated - complex without being too complicated.” “The attraction of cool climate wines for me is the fact that they are slow ripening which facilitates maximum intensity from nose to finish.

Lofty Ranges. Established in 1890 by Australian born brothers, Herbert and Frederick Kay, the Heritage listed Kays Amery Winery celebrated its first grape crush in 1895 and is the oldest McLaren Vale winery still in founding family hands. Today, the family continues the winemaking traditions in the heritage listed cellars. Kay Brothers utilise a traditional method of pressing out their wines. Their Celestial & Coq basket press was installed and ready for use in the 1928 vintage to replace older hydraulic and manual screw presses that had proved unreliable. For their winemaker, it is still the preferred of their two presses. The basket press reflects Kay Brothers traditional winemaking philosophy. The grapes are pressed gently, resulting in softer tannins and cleaner juice - as the juice is filtered through the mass of pulp while draining through the basket. Whilst this process is labour intensive and time consuming, Kay Brothers are confident it translates to superior quality.

The vineyard occupies some of the area’s richest terra rossa soil over limestone, a composition for which Coonawarra is famous. During his winemaking career spanning nearly 60 years, Sydney was highly regarded for his contribution to the industry. In 1981, with 65 vintages under his belt, Sydney decided to finally retire and Leconfield was acquired by his nephew, Dr Richard Hamilton, then based in McLaren Vale. Leconfield Cabernet Sauvignon remains the flagship wine and today Leconfield’s winemaking direction is driven by highly regarded winemaker, Paul Gordon.

(Mr Mick) Knappstein, a legend within the Australian winemaking industry. One of Mr Mick’s passions in life was to make wines for everyone to enjoy, a tradition his last apprentice, local winemaker Tim Adams continues in his name. Today, Tim and his wife, Pam, are proud custodians of this landmark property, the former Leasingham winery. TIM ADAMS Tim Adams' formative years were spent in South Australia's Clare Valley. As a Clare lad growing up among pioneering grape growers and winemakers, it was no surprise that in his final year of school Tim eschewed studying in favour of writing to Clare Valley wineries seeking employment. The recipient of one such letter was Mr Mick Knappstein at the Stanley Wine Company, which led to Tim securing a position as winery cellar hand in 1975. A fortuitous beginning for Tim, who found himself mentored by a revered pioneer of the modern Australian wine industry. The first release of wines under Tim Adams' own label was in September 1986, by which time Tim had left the Stanley Wine Company. 'Mr Mick' continued to encourage the young winemaker, embracing Tim as his last apprentice, a relationship that continued until him passing in 1997.

MOUNT BENSON & TASMANIA 2014 Shiraz 100.00 10.75 NEW VINTAGE. BAROSSA VALLEY & MOUNT BENSON Norfolk Rise ABOUT The Norfolk Rise vineyard is in the Mount Benson region of South Australia’s Limestone Coast where the climate is cool due to year-round sea breezes (only 5kms from the ocean). Combine these cool, maritime micro climatic conditions with free draining terra rossa soil and you have an excellent environment for premium grape production. The state-of-the-art winery that the 100% estate grown vineyard surrounds was built in 2000 featuring some of the most advanced equipment available. This provides Norfolk Rise with an innovative and efficient winery upon which they can effectively apply their winemaking philosophy: to embrace, then express, the unique characteristics of their vineyard. The wines have clear, varietal definition, elegant flavour and structure profiles with fruit driven complexity. "4 star winery" James Halliday's Wine Companion '16 "Mt Benson Winery of the Year" 2014 Shiraz Gold Medal, 95 points National Wine Show of Australia '15 Melbourne International Wine Competition '14 2015 Savignon Blanc The new bi-regional blend from South Australia and Tasmania The Sauvignon Blanc wines of Norfolk Rise Vineyard are known to have a lively bouquet of lifted tropical fruits and a refreshing acidity, while in Tasmania the Sauvignon Blanc often has a lifted floral bouquet with the perfume of freshly picked lillies and a delicate but lingering minerality. By sourcing fruit from these two contrasting but complimentary regions, Norfolk Rise has produced a wine of great complexity and exceptional flavour which combines the best of both regions. For this exciting new development, Sauvignon Blanc grapes were selected from the Nortfolk Rise Estate vineyard and Tasmania. Full protective handling was utilized during processing of the grapes and juice to avoid any oxidation or browning. The juice was clarified and a long cool ferment in stainless steel tanks using a selection of aromatic yeast stains followed. To maximise the retention of fresh fruit flavours and aromas, the resultant wine was bottled early and under screw cap. The nose is lively with lifted tropical fruits, lychee and perfumed musk. Clean and crisp with a refreshing mineral acidity. Hints of freshly cut grass and lush passionfruit flavours give this wine a balanced and long lasting finish.

The vines are grown without irrigation on sandy loam soil over quartz and red ironstone gravels. The vines are hand pruned to balance the yield and the grapes are hand picked to achieve optimum fruit quality. These factors combine to produce small, intensely flavoured and coloured grapes necessary to make premium wines. The use of synthetic chemicals to manage the vineyard is kept to an absolute minimum to promote better soil and vine health. The Paul Osicka estate is now run by Paul and Simon Osicka, the second and third generations to be involved in the vineyard. SIMON OSICKA "Prior to joining the family business full-time in 2010, Simon had senior winemaking positions at Houghton, Leasingham and as group red winemaker for Constellation Wines Australia, interleaved with vintages in Italy, Canada, Germany and France, working at the prestigious Domaine J.L. Chave in Hermitage for the '10 vintage. The fermentation of the red wines has been changed from static to open fermenters, and French oak has replaced American oak." James Halliday's Wine Companion '15 Heathcote, Victoria Established in 1955 Made by Paul and Simon Osicka "When patriarch Paul Osicka brought his family to Australia in the early 1950s, the industry was suffering a hangover following the removal of beer rationing. The once mighty Hunter Valley had only 466ha in production in 1956; in Victoria, no new wine businesses had started for 50 years. But that did not deter Osicka from continuing to practise the skills of grape-growing and red winemaking that he had brought with him from his native Czechoslovakia."

Its uses natural preparations and composts, under a specified calendar to bring the soil and the vine into balance, resulting in exceptionally pure and expressive fruit. As a certified Organic and Biodynamic wine producer, Paxton wines are not exposed to chemical fertilisers, herbicides or systemic pesticides. Organic inputs are utilised from growing the grapes through to the finished wine. And then biodynamic farming takes this to the next level. It sensibly promotes complete environmental synergy in the vineyard (from the soil, to the bugs to the birds, to the vines that all work and live together). The whole process quite simply gives us healthier soils & healthier vines, then healthier grapes which makes better wines. Therefore we say, Paxton vines, make better wines” - David Paxton RICHARD FREEBAIRN McLaren Vale, South Australia Established in 1979 Made by Richard Freebairn www.paxtonvineyards.com Richard joined Paxton in 2014 from Serafino Wines where he was instrumental in helping them win trophies for Tempranillo and Grenache.

There may be some element of fruit selection, but counter-intuitively, it seems to lift the fruit profile while still introducing the textural complexity one expects from fermentation. It's a convincing example of the genre." James Halliday's Wine Companion '15 "91 points” "It’s an interesting flavour profile. It’s low alcohol and zesty/racy as a result, but there are sweet barley sugar-like fruit notes amid grass and woodsmoke. Both complex and crowd pleasing at once. Intensity it has in spades, length too, though the wine’s fruity exuberance sets you back on your heels a bit. It’s not a wine to be passed over at speed; it makes you take notice of it." Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, July '14 MOURVÈDRE SAUVIGNON BLANC Hand-picked from a manicured vineyard in the Stonewell subregion of Barossa Valley. Destemmed only and fermented with indigenous yeast in two small parcels. After a few days of cold maceration, the ferments were hand plunged 3 times a day and allowed to get to 30C. Both parcels were pressed after 21 days 'on skins' with all the free run and pressings combined. Matured in French oak for 20 months and allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation. Minimal fining and no filtration. On the nose, red and black juicy fruits, smokey meats, floral and spice, hints of cedar and cream. The palate explodes with juicy red fruits onto the early and mid palate, with an underlying meatiness and spice building to the late palate. Balanced by fine tannins and a tight finish. Drink until 2027. Machine harvested, great flavour at low baume and good acid, the fruit was pressed with only the free run being used. After settling, the juice (with some fluffy lees) was transferred to new tight grain French barrique, fermented with indigenous yeast and then sat on lees with occasional battonage until Nov 2013, bottled in Dec 2013. The nose and palate has flinty citrus sherbet with straw and fresh creamy mealy notes, supported by a subtle herbal thread of kiwi and snowpeas. Mouth-watering acidity and a textured palate, finishing long, fresh and balanced.

While picking grapes they met local vignerons Chris Vohrer and Wilhelm Abel and worked a vintage at their winery, which, by 1955, the couple had purchased and renamed ‘Veritas’. In the mid-seventies the company went through a rapid expansion, in what was then the beginning of the red wine boom. This coincided with the first crops being harvested from the company’s own vineyards. Rolf and Christa renamed the company Rolf Binder in commemoration of their father’s hard work and vision. Today the brother-sister team continue the legacy, celebrating sixty one years of family winemaking this year.

The family are undertaking a native re-vegetation project that will re-establish a natural habitat for native species of flora and fauna free of agricultural activity. This project is also aimed at reducing soil and creek bank erosion along natural water courses through the property. In the vineyard, the Swifts are constantly monitoring their viticultural practices to reduce water and chemical use. Consumption of fossil fuels is also being reduced through better vineyard management techniques and encouraging an increased level of biodiversity within the vineyard environment. In the winery the building design has allowed for natural ventilation eliminating the need for power generated climate control and they capture the CO2 produced by fermentation and recycle the inert gas within the wine production process to reduce their reliance on purchased CO2. All grape marc is composted along with other raw materials produced on the property (cow manure and straw) to produce their own natural fertiliser that can be put back onto the vineyard. We are recycling all packaging such as glass, plastic and paper products so that virtually nothing goes to landfill. Future objectives include better recycling of winery wastewater and offsetting their carbon emissions.

Tuckwell is a vocal and thoughtful winemaker from Orange. Gently sweet citrus spectrum fruit characters, mixed peel, touch of green apple sweetness, some faint nougat oak scents. Gently sweet to taste too, but the acid, crisp, clean, glassy, takes the wine away. Some slipperiness to texture, some weight and concentration too.

Returning from a ‘kneesup’ at midnight, mid vintage, she managed to kick off one high heel and slip back into a boot just as the cellar crew cried out, ‘Run Sister Run’; and exactly then our winemaker and label took flight! The stiellotto and boot are Sister’s Run; an independently owned and operated winery with a fierce commitment to making the best wines we can from family vineyards. We don’t take ourselves as seriously as we take our wines, but agree with Elena, all you need to know about wine is the five ‘V’s: Vintage, Variety, Vineyard, Vigneron and Volume. And remember, the best wine is the wine you like.

Working with renowned winemaker, Sandro Mosele (ex Kooyong and Port Phillip Estate), Liz and Simon Gillies launched the Yal Yal Rd label in 2010. Established in 1997, the vineyard focuses on low yield, single estate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that reflects the unique character of Yal Yal Estate's terroir. Prior to 2009, Liz and Simon's excellent fruit was sold to highly regarded vineyards on the Mornington Peninsula. In 2009 they sold most of their fruit and produced their first Yal Yal Rd Chardonnay to significant acclaim. This small run sold out in six months. The 2009 Pinot Noir made for another vineyard by Sandro Mosele, Yal Yal Estate's winemaker, and using their grapes, was very highly rated by James Halliday, receiving a score of 94, and sold out within 3 months. This augured well for future vintages and so with great excitement Liz and Simon decided to produce their own Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from 2010. Mornington Peninsula, Victoria Established in 1997 Made by Sandro Mosele www.yalyal.com.au 2013 Chardonnay "95 points, Special Value" "A superfine and elegant style, bred to stay. White peach, apple and melon fruit is cosseted in subtle French oak, the acidity fresh but balanced, the finish long and fine." James Halliday's Wine Companion '16 2013 Pinot Gris "92 points" "A distinct touch of pink-bronze points to some skin contact; a full-flavoured pinot gris with pear, apple and ginger all contributing to the depth and length. A pinot gris with attitude." James Halliday's Wine Companion '16 2013 Pinot Noir "92 points" "Light colour, but still holding red-purple hue; estate-grown, the wine has a distinctive perfumed bouquet with exotic oriental spices, the palate with drive to the point of outright urgency; interesting wine with an interesting future." James Halliday's Wine Companion '16 SANDRO MOSELE Yal Yal Estate has a close relationship with their wine maker, Sandro Mosele, who shares their philosophy of ensuring that the wines are representative of the place and the seasons in which they grow. The wine making approach is non-interventionist. All wines are fermented spontaneously and are wild fermented. Wholly French oak is used for wine maturation and the wines are unfined and only minimally filtered. ABOUT Owner and winemaker, Tim Adams, began his career in the wine industry as a cellarhand at the Stanley Wine Company in 1975, steadily working his way through the ranks to become winemaker in 1981 following graduation. The first inclination to leave came in 1985, when Tim and his wife were approached by local cooper Bill Wray to form a partnership of the two families to make wine and small oak casks. The first wines under the Adams & Wray label were released in September 1986, by which time Tim had left the Stanley Wine Company. In May 1987 the Adams & Wray partnership was dissolved, and Tim and his wife Pam took full control of the renamed Tim Adams Wines. In late 1987 they purchased the existing winery site and opened the cellar door in January 1988. Tim Adams Wines "Tim Adams is one of the finest and most consistent of the Clare Valley’s many wineries." "The affordable prices and widespread availability of its wines do not give them the caché that scarcity or extreme cost often delivers regardless of quality.

James Halliday's Wine Companion Magazine, Oct '15 "92 points" "Proper Gris, classic Tim Adams, and a great vintage, this is a wine textured and coloured with some pressings, and sweetened by halting the ferment. It's an impressively fragrant nose with pear, lychee, guava, pink lady apple and even strawberry. The palate is viscous and rich, well balanced by sweetness, lively acidity and soft phenolic texture." Tyson Stelzer, WBM, Dec '15 2011 Semillon "93 points, Special Value" "You cannot miss the fact that the wine was barrel-fermented, but the fact that the oak was 100% new French hogsheads, and the wine spent 6 months in that oak could have been lost; the cool vintage and early picking mean great things are in store for those with patience."

Alan McCorkindale Wines is a small family business based in the Waipara Valley, Canterbury. Their focus is on creating quality boutique wines with distinct style and flair using traditional French techniques. The grapes are grown in the beautiful, natural surrounds of the Waipara Valley. The vineyards are pruned and picked by hand to ensure that every drop is pure, quality, New Zealand wine. ALAN MCCORKINDALE Alan is also actively involved in his consultancy business offering mentoring, wine production and wine marketing advice to New Zealand and international producers. Alan has a long list of trophy successes in the Air New Zealand Wine Awards and the International Wine Challenge in London. Canturbury, Central Otago, Marlborough and Hawke's Bay, New Zealand Established in 1993 Made by Alan McCorkindale www.alanmccorkindale.com Sauvignon Blanc 'Single Vineyard' Sauvignon Blanc harvested from the volcanic Greywacke stone soils of the ‘Utawai Creek’ vineyard. This vineyard consistently produces intensely flavoured grapes with good natural acidity. Made without compromise on quality. Vibrant and dry, with a racy acid backbone, delicate and intense with distinctive minerality, flintiness, and a very long finish. We like this wine with fresh seafood, great with Japanese dishes. Syrah ‘Single Vineyard’ Syrah harvested from the clay soils of the ‘Au Plein Soleil’ vineyard. This low yielding vineyard has a few vines of Viognier, which is co-fermented with the Syrah grapes in small vats. Traditional northern Rhone Valley winemaking has created a New Zealand wine in an Old World style. Focussed and concentrated, powerful, but graceful, with lithe tannins, balance and a very long finish. ABOUT Nobody has more experience growing grapes in Marlborough than Allan Scott. He planted some of the region’s most famous vineyards, including the very first, and has worked there every vintage since. Allan has over 40 years in the wine business, which makes him one of the most experienced people in Marlborough when it comes to growing, making and marketing wine. When Allan and his wife Catherine decided to settle there in 1973, Allan took a job with Montana working in their new vineyards. In 1980 he was head-hunted by Corbans to oversee the establishment of their Marlborough vineyards. He soon became their Senior Viticultural Manager, which not only gave him responsibility for the company's entire national grape intake, but led him to become part of the winemaking team. All this stood Allan in good stead for the family’s foray into winemaking. Back then, there weren’t any boutique wineries to speak of in Marlborough. In 1975 Allan and Catherine purchased a block of land and got into contract growing. Then, when the first independent winemakers started to emerge in Marlborough, Allan and Catherine were in a position to become a part of this new era in New Zealand’s wine industry. In 1990, they launched Allan Scott Wines, which is now a true family business. Allan and Cathy’s three children have grown up to become valuable members of the business.

The creek flows from the Richmond Ranges of Marlborough into the Wairau River and this water in turn feeds the fertile land that produces Marlborough’s famous grapes. New Zealand's climate is perfect for producing crisp, aromatic wines - the long summer days and cool nights provide ideal conditions which preserve purity and freshness. Little Goat Creek wines epitomise these factors: wines packed with flavour and showing great expression of variety. The grapes are sourced from organic vineyards. Being organic, these grapes build up a natural resistance to the elements. The skins become thicker producing more flavour. CHRIS DARLING & BART ARNST With over 30 years winemaking experience, Chris and Bart teamed up to produce the wines for Little Goat Creek. Both men have a passion for making wine and have worked across the world in countries such as France, Greece, Czech Republic, Australia and New Zealand. Chris and Bart also keep themselves busy producing their super premium range, The Darling wines.

These grapes build up a natural resistance to the elements. The skins become thicker producing more flavour. The growing season was warm and dry with the last month before picking being fantastic conditions.

Being a dryer style (6g/L residual sugar) it has a great drinkability due to the freshness on the palate.

It immediately found its ideal habitat in Gallura, becoming a symbol for the entire island. It is precisely these soils, sandy but with a marked granite matrix, that gives the grapes their intense aromas and correct acidity. Cascina Cucco is located in Serralunga d’Alba, at the foot of the 14th century castle from which it commands the whole area of Alba Langhe. The Serralunga Valley is considered very important in Barolo territory for the distinctiveness of the wines. 2013 Gemellae Vermentino di Gallura DOCG W’sale LUC 155.00 16.67 Notes Cantina Sociale Gallura is a cooperative of 160 members covering 325 hectares of vines in the Gallura region of northern Sardinia. The winery is located in the town of Tempio Pausania on the foothills of Mount Limbara. Gallura finds the roots of its name in the rooster emblem of the Visconti of Pisa and in 1956 the rooster was adopted by the Cantina to adorn its labels. The soil is a mix of sand and rock, is poor, and the vines have to struggle to survive in this hostile environment. The limited grape yield offers unique and prized qualities. The flagship of Cantina Gallura is the 'Vermentino di Gallura', the only wine in Sardinia to be awarded Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin, which it gained in 1996. Made from 100% Vermentino from vines grown on limestone and granite, this excellent white has a racy minerality on the palate. A lemon-green in colour. On the nose tell-tale aromas of basil and pine nuts with undertones of citrus and honey. On the palate, delightfully zesty with a pronounced minerality and balanced acidity. The finish is lingering and refreshing. A food-friendly crowd pleaser that should be drunk young. Try with pasta primavera, gremolata sauces, vegetable terrines or seafood cocktails.

This cru, the jewel in the company's crown, stands out for its bright ruby red colour with slight orange hues, and its complex and enveloping bouquet where the varietal hints of wild rose blend with the aroma of sage.

Seventy hectares (175 acres) in one single piece makes the vineyards a true rarity. The property is located on hillsides in the province of Asti at 180 metres above sea level; the hills are of mixed soil with much clay and are planted to 58 hectares (145 acres) of Barbera, four hectares (10 acres) of Merlot, two hectares (five acres) each of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc; the remaining two hectares are planted to Favorita and Freisa. Brothers, Pico and Vitaliano Maccario, run this estate created by their grandfather, Carlo. Pico Maccario, the eldest brother, devotes himself to the production of the wine, while Vitaliano handles the marketing and commercial aspects of the business. They are highly demanding of themselves and have an exact idea of the efforts necessary to achieve the excellent results they obtain. From the beginning, the brothers have chosen modern methods to manage their vineyards and produce wine, due in equal parts to their personal taste and young age of their winery. Asti, Piedmont, Italy Established in 1997 Made by Pico Maccario www.picomaccario.com "Intense flavors of blueberry, plum and licorice are allied to a juicy profile. Offers bright fruit and an easy personality. Drink now." Wine Spectator, April '15 Made from 100% Barbera grown on the soft Pleistocene hills formed from fluvial and river lacustrine deposits, the grapes are picked at optimum maturity, gently crushed and macerated for 10 to 12 days. Ageing takes place in steel vats for 9 months (no oak), during which time many different decantations are done before bottling and further ageing in bottle before release in spring. The colour of the wine is ruby red, the aroma intense and charming, with cherry, plum and red berries. The palate is complex, well-structured, harmonious and long. Lavignone is the name of one of the farmhouses that was built on the property in the 1700s. Barbera reaches one of its finest expressions in Barbera d’Asti, which achieved DOCG status in 2008. The rose has always been a symbol of the winery. 4500 rose plants of the same cloned variety have the duel function of marking the start of each vineyard row, and – a traditional use – of signaling vine-threatening diseases before they get the chance to do damage. The presence of these thousands of rosebushes creates a beautiful walking experience between the rows of Pico Maccario.

The San Rafael Mountains in the north and the Soloman Hills in the south frame this growing area drawing the cooler maritime breezes of the Pacific Ocean into the valley. These maritime breezes keep the average daytime temperatures in Santa Maria in the mid-teens. Located in the northern end of Santa Barbara County, with welldrained, lean soils and a Pacific Ocean influence, the region is best known for cool climate grapes like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay This is a classic, richer, although not 'over the top' Chardonnay, featuring lemon meringue aromas intertwined with musky peach, brioche, crushed stone and hints of toast. Medium bodied on the palate, it is rich in texture but stays beautifully focused. The hand-picked grapes were pressed in whole clusters to preserve the intense and ripe flavours. The wine was fermented in 33% new French oak barrels charred to a medium-heavy toast. Malolatic fermentation followed to soften the acids, adding a creamy, brulee-butterscotch element. Nine months of barrel aging sur lie with regular stirring integrated the oak and fruit flavours. Russian River Valley The Russian River growing region covers 150 square miles, with nearly 30% of all vineyard acres devoted to Pinot Noir. Influenced by the cool, coastal fog of the Pacific Ocean, the beautiful, warm days can give way to much cooler evenings. It’s not unusual for the overnight fog which enters both through the Petaluma Gap and up the Russian River to create 30-40 degree differences from the daytime temperatures. It is these warm days and cool nights which create an ideal climate for growing cool climate grape varieties like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

NV Tradition Brut NV Tradition Demi-Sec W’sale LUC 390.00 390.00 41.93 41.93 Notes NV Tradition Brut ABOUT Champagne Charpentier, established in 1855, has 72 vineyards spread over several 'crus' in the Marne Valley around the town of Charly-sur-Marne. This area is 90% dominated by Pinot Meunier, whereas the majority of the Charpentier estate vines are planted with Chardonnay. This has, of course, an important influence on the aromatic expression of Champagne Charpentier. Some years ago, the vines in the middle of the hillsides proved they could be managed with sustainable viticulture, leading on to some of the vineyards now being grown organically. All Champagne Charpentier wines are sealed with a special natural cork (Mytik Diamant) which guarantees freedom from cork taint.

Champagne Charpentier "The village of Charly-sur-Marne is situated halfway between Reims and Paris, 15 kilometres west of Château-Thierry. In this notably cool and wet part of Champagne, planting is dominated by meunier - 90% of the total - making the Charpentier family unique and unusual as its 72 parcels spread across 23 hectares, well-situated on the mid-slopes of several nearby crus, comprise 50% chardonnay. The family has sold its own wines since 1855 (still wines at the time) and Jean-Marc Charpentier is now the eighth generation of his family to manage the estate. In 1989 he married the daughter of a fifth-generation champagne grower in Charly-sur-Marne, providing the family with an impressively expanded resource of mature vines. Jean-Marc has been a pioneer of sustainable viticulture in Champagne since 1988, and some plots are now managed organically. The result is lower yields and increased resilience to disease, crucial in ripening chardonnay in this part of Champagne. Charpentier's cuvées are well crafted, long aged, sealed with DIAM closures and reflective of the softly textured character of the western Marne. They're also refreshingly affordable."
