Charming, full-bodied and elegant…
With just three months in old barriques, this is all fruit – full bodied with rich ripe blackcurrant and bilberry, cassis and chocolate with velvety tannins and good length.
Domaine Morin Langaren Saint Paul Colline is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Merlot.
Intense aromas and flavours of black fruit with delicious hints of fruit brandy, wax and incense - already with a few years on this wine, it is drinking great now!
Nice salmon pink wine; fruity nose of small red fruit, toasted bread and peach.
The palate is fresh but a nice sweetness is present (this is not a sweet wine, just a hint) with notes of ripe small red fruit and strawberry.
They say Picpoul is the ideal grape with Oysters but also with cheese and chocolate.
A nice pale yellow wine with green tints, very fresh nose with aromas of white flowers and citrus fruit; extremely fresh palate with notes of lemon and flowers with a mineral and saline finish.

A medium bodied and very smooth textured delicious wine made of 100% carignan - great for meat dishes or with hard cheeses and charcuterie.
This theme of lively fruit notes continues on the palate, where the generosity of the red and black fruit provides fleshy mouthfeel. This layer of red currant and blackberry flavours balances what is for Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon, quite a firm structure, with bright acidity and firm tannin. On the finish there is just a suggestion of toasty oak, tar and leather, giving the wine good length and persistence.

Mount Macleod is the second label of the Burgundian-inspired (and boutique-scaled) Caledonia Australis who, in their fairly short lifespan, have carved a reputation amongst Pinot cognoscenti as a fine source of excellent value, aromatically complex and elegant Pinot Noir. Given the quality and value Mount Macleod offer, their wines remain criminally under-exposed. Cropped from dry grown, organic vines (on deep Gippsland Ferresol) the Pinot is fermented naturally--with one fermenter inoculated with a Pied de Cuve made the previous day--the wine is then raised in a mixture of stainless steel (with a long post ferment maceration) and old wooden barrels that have previously housed the Caledonia Australis Pinot. The 2018 ferments had a greater proportion of whole bunches (20%) than usual which also enabled a shorter extraction period due to good early tannin pickup. In sum, a classically silky Pinot with its classic mix of red fruit, spice and forest floor savouriness.
Mid-red with garnet and ruby hues and an aroma more darkly fruited than normal for Mount Riley with plenty of black cherry, plum along with hints of dried herb.
An approachable, elegant wine with soft tannins, delicious bright red fruit fl avours and great length of flavour.
Mrs Smith Pinot Noir 2017 is a lighter style of Yarra Valley Pinot- raspberry, cherry and plum balanced perfectly with the savoury spices of nutmeg and a touch of musk.
Although lighter in style, plenty of flavour in the glass!
Deep crimson in colour with a perfumed bouquet of strawberry & herbs, rich and savoury with hints of rhubarb & dark cherry, firm balanced tannins and the masterful use of French oak (20% new) add to the complexity providing a wine that will reward patient cellaring.
