Primo Estate Prosecco NV
"This is a fresh, crunchy, lively prosecco with just a touch of sweetness – hoorah! It’s built around the varietal markers of nashi pear, lemon and a spicy edge reminiscent of rocket. It’s about as well-crafted and delicious as prosecco can be. And refreshingly dry. King Valley, look out!" - Tyson Stelzer, The Australian Sparkling Wine Report, 2020
"Palest yellow colour, bright and fresh. Bath salts, white pears, lemon curd and red apples - aromatically vivacious. It's round of bead and bristling with crunchy green-apple acidity. Ultra-dry with a measured tease of mid-palate sweetness. Very good." - Nick Butler, The Real Review, 2020
"It's a fizzy mix of stonefruit and lemon. Gobsmacking bang for your buck." - Katie Spain, The Sunday Mail, 19th April 2020
Fontanafredda Briccotondo Arneis 2018
Simple and pretty refreshingly delicious at this price (normally $28 per bottle) Fresh crisp applew, lemon and green almond. A tasty tang on the finish - even a welcome touch of Arneis bitterness. Excellent quaffing for the Spring and Summer months. Ian Cook FWC
Walsh & Sons 'Remi' Rose 2020
Grenache & Syrah are used to create this pale, pink rosé with lifted aromas of strawberry, Turkish Delight & rose petal. Flavours of fresh- cut watermelon & a distinctive sherbet lemon creaminess result from partial barrel ferment on lees for the Grenache component. The wine finishes with a salty minerality on the palate. Complex & moreish. - Winemaker's Note
Fontanafredda Briccotondo Dolcetto 2017
On tasting immediately thought this is a pretty good Dolcetto and well priced at $28 per bottle. So it's now a steal at $15/$13.50. Very black fruited with raspberry, a touch of dried herb and lively firm tannins. Pretty solid length too. Will not be around for long.

Walsh & Sons 'Lola' Syrah Cabernet Grenache 2018
Why SCG? We feel this blend is a softer yet more complex style than the traditional classic Margaret River blend. Syrah helps fill Cabernet mid pallet weight whilst Grenache heightens the nose, adds finishing tannin and naturally lowers the pH in the wine aiding in natural preservation and balance.
