Enter the name for this tabbed section: PINOT SHIRAZ - AUSTRALIA
DECEMBER 2025 ~ PINOT SHIRAZ - RIVERLAND, AUSTRALIA
Stacks Image 97045
THE WINE
An unconventional blend of two distinctly different varietals, masterfully balancing elegance and power.
Aromas of mixed berries, florals, and soft spice lead to flavours of sour cherry, dark plum, red fruit, and blueberry. Light licorice and spice add depth, with a lingering finish of silky tannins.
THE REGION
The hot, dry climate is ideal for producing richly textured Shiraz with bold berry flavours. Cool nights help Pinot retain acidity, but in this warmer climate it develops richer fruit flavours. This makes it a better blending partner for Shiraz – one reason Australia is one of the few countries to successfully pair these varietals.

Enter the name for this tabbed section: BLANC DE NOIR - FRANCE
JANUARY 2026 ~ BLANC DE NOIR - LANGUEDOC, FRANCE
Stacks Image 97067
THE WINE
A truly distinctive white wine made from black Grenache grapes with minimal skin contact during pressing. Blanc de Noir, meaning ‘white from black’, leans toward white peach, and pink grapefruit flavours with subtle spice. Herbaceous notes, soft echoes of red apple and strawberry, and crisp acidity finish out this showpiece.
THE REGION
Grenache enjoys ideal conditions in this coastal region, where cooling sea breezes moderate the hot, sunny Mediterranean climate. The most common soils are limestone and clay, which help retain moisture in the dry landscape. Limited rainfall and coastal winds yield concentrated fruit, enabling expressive, innovative styles.

Enter the name for this tabbed section: MALBEC CABERNET - ARGENTINA
FEBRUARY 2026 ~ MALBEC CABERNET - MENDOZA, ARGENTINA
Stacks Image 97089
THE WINE
A bold, charismatic blend showcasing the richness of Malbec and structure of Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of violet, dark fruit, and spice lead to a palate of plum, blackberry, and gentle peppercorn. Well-integrated tannins and acidity bring lift, leaving a smooth finish lingering with dark fruit and warmth.
THE REGION
Altitude is key to quality - sitting at the foot of the Andes, these are some of the world’s highest vineyards, averaging 900m above sea level. Intense sun ripens grapes fully, while cool mountain nights preserve acidity. Dry, rocky soils stress the vines, yielding smaller, concentrated grapes ideal for bold wines.

• Argentine Asado
• Mushroom and roasted garlic flatbread

Enter the name for this tabbed section: PINOT GRIS VERDELHO - AUSTRALIA
MARCH 2026 ~ PINOT GRIS VERDELHO - RIVERLAND, AUSTRALIA
Stacks Image 97527
THE WINE
Citrus and tropical aromas carry through to a lively palate. Pinot Gris brings melon and pear, while Verdelho adds tropical fruit. Notes of pineapple, guava, and citrus are lifted by green apple and subtle spice. Silky texture, crisp acidity, and a light mineral note create a refreshing finish.
THE REGION
Verdelho thrives in Riverland’s warm Mediterranean climate. Hot days promote ripening, while cool nights help retain acidity - crucial for Pinot Gris. The winding Murray River provides reliable irrigation in this dry region, nourishing fertile loam and clay soils. These conditions produce fully ripened grapes, yielding fresh, fruit-driven wines.

• Thai red curry chicken
• Shrimp vermicelli bowls
• Pear, walnut, and goat cheese salad

APRIL 2026 ~ PACIFIC QUARTET RED - PACIFIC RIM
Stacks Image 97135
THE WINE
Four varietals from four countries: Chilean Carménère, Australian Shiraz, California Cabernet Sauvignon, and New Zealand Merlot create a delectably bold, well-structured blend. Aromas of blackberry, cherry, and spice lead to a rich palate layered with blackcurrant, plum, and dark chocolate. Firm tannins and toasty oak deliver a long, satisfying finish.
THE REGION
The Pacific Rim’s diverse climates offer ideal conditions for premium grape growing. From Chile’s coastal vineyards and Australia’s sun-drenched regions to California’s rich soils and New Zealand’s cool maritime zones, this unique blend of terroirs contributes to the wine’s vibrant fruit, balanced acidity, and complex character.
