3x Niche Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 - 13.50% Alc 

In the glass, it glows crimson with magenta hues. The bouquet opens with lifted aromas of cassis, plum, and chocolate-mint, layered with soft oak spice. The palate follows through with medium-bodied richness and a plush, fruit-driven core — flavours of plum, cassis, and dark cherry glide across silky tannins to a rounded, velvety finish. The oak remains understated, playing a supportive role to the wine’s pure varietal expression.

1x La Bise Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2023 - 13.90% Alc 

The wine opens with bold aromas of ripe plum and red currant, with underlying notes of spice and roasted hazelnut contributed by 18 months of maturation in French oak barrels. The palate is densely packed with flavour—rich, layered, and textural—delivering concentrated plum, warming spice, and a long, sophisticated finish. It reflects a winemaking philosophy focused on mouthfeel and drinkability without excessive alcohol, making this Shiraz both powerful and refined.

2x Brookland Valley Discovery Margaret River Tempranillo 2022 - 13.50% Alc

The finish is long, structured and food-friendly, revealing a graceful line of fine tannin that makes it an exceptional match for chargrilled lamb cutlets with rosemary, slow-braised beef cheek, wood-fired pizza with nduja, or Spanish-inspired dishes like chorizo and roast capsicum. Built from vineyards established in 1984, the wine reflects the pedigree of Margaret River Tempranillo and the minimal-intervention approach that allows the region’s signature elegance, depth and natural concentration to shine through. The result is a modern, layered, savoury red designed to be enjoyed now for its vibrancy, but one that will also reward short-term cellaring.
