Adrien Roustan Domaine d'Ourea Gigonda...
$61.95
’Vivid ruby-red. Lively aromas of cherry, raspberries and garrigue, along with a smoky mineral nuance that adds clarity and lift. Sweet red fruit flavors are given an exotic quality by floral pastille and Asian spice notes that build steadily on the back half. Fine-grained tannins lend shape and gentle grip to the persistent finish, which leaves a suave lavender note behind.’ 91 points, Josh Raynolds, Vinous, August 2018.
Bigi Orvieto Secco Classico 2021

Bigi Orvieto Classico Secco Orvieto is Umbria's most famous wine. Because of its popularity with the Vatican elite, Orvieto has always been called the "Wine of Popes".

In 1931, the Italian Government established a Classico zone for the central and best areas of Orvieto. Those areas are the source of the grapes for Bigi's Orvieto Classico.

The strong and passionate character of this wine has inspired maître chocolatier Ernst Knam in his creation of the "Mille e una Notte with chili" pralines.
Moorilla Estate Praxis Chardonnay Musq...
$26.95
The pretty, pale, lemonesque hue gives no indication of the fruit bomb this wine actually is. On pouring you’ll get a generous, summery nose of hibiscus, green tea, lemon sherbet and jasmine, while the palate is a silken-textured treat of green mango and crisp acidity. Medium bodied, it drinks beautifully cold. Keep an extra bottle chilling, for top-ups.
Jean-Luc Mader Gewurztraminer 2020
$41.95
Gewürztraminer (Stelvin) The Gewurztraminer is sourced in the higher altitudes of Hunawihr (mostly Muhlforst which adjoins Grand cru Rosacker) from clay and limestone soils.

Santa Barbara Stefano Antonucci 'Le Va...

Feudi di San Gregorio Greco di Tufo DO...
$49.95
Lively acidity and spicy minerality typical of vine cultivated in Tufo, with an incredibly long finish showing soft notes of balsamic.
Greco di Tufo is the most noble of the southern Italian grapes. It was known in ancient times as Aminea gemella, as it developed a large number of double clusters. According to Aristotle, the vines of Aminee came from Thessaly, the land of origin of the Thessalians who settled in Campania and planted the Greco vines on the slopes of Vesuvius. Columella, Plinio and Virgilio wrote that the grapes of Aminee have been enjoyed since antiquity for their capacity of producing wines with aging potential. The site of Tufo has been for centuries one of cultivation of Greco, given the virtues of the extraordinary characteristics of its soil.

The palate is dry with a balance of crisp acidity, flavours of bitter almonds and grapefruit leading towards a clean citrus finish. Serve as an aperitif or with pasta and fish soups.
Moorilla Muse Extra Brut 2017
$53.95
Another in a long line of smashing sparklings from our St. Matthias vineyard: a crisp, dry, extremely refined aperitif-style wine absolutely bursting with fruit (crunchy apples, pale stonefruit) and complexity (creamy suggestions of freshly churned butter, Danish pastry, roasted cashew and pistachio). Texturally it’s voluptuous and rich, but not overbearing—there’s a softness and persistency to the mousse that prevents things getting bogged down. Drinking exceedingly well now, but has the hallmarks of something special if given time in the cellar.
