Argentine Malbec
The Argentine Malbec has found uniquely favourable growing
conditions in Argentina and has no doubt created one of the most
successful and delicious Malbec wines in the world. A combination of
desert climate, cold nights, and irrigation of eternal snows from
the Andes, creates an especially healthy environment for these
vines. An intense bouquet of damson plums, blackcurrant and violet
aromas give way to a slight touch of hunting and leather notes. This
richly purple coloured Malbec carries a velvety texture with long,
soft flavours. Although it ages beautifully, firm tannins and mellow
acidityallow this wine to be enjoyed while young.Gold Award*

The bold, individualistic style of Australia’s winemakers has
unleashed the full potential behind the ‘king of red grapes’,
captured here in our Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. Combines forward
fruit flavours of cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant with a
tremendous backing of tannin and structure. Rich and polished with a
long, layered finish warmly accentuated with oak.Silver Award*

Australian Cabernet/Shiraz
The blend that made Australia famous. Cabernet Sauvignon’s
structural intensity perfectly complements the ripe fruit and
chocolate flavors of Shiraz, for rich, complex and hearty red wine
of outstanding character. Big, bold and dark – a luxurious treat.

Australian Shiraz
The grape that was made for Down Under - its hot climate perfec
for bringing out the best traits in this popular grape varietal.
Australian Shiraz is seductively delicious, with startlingly
rich, ripe aromas that deliver right through to the full zesty
finish. Amazingly, the style allows for polished tannins early,
so the young wine is not rough or harsh. The aged version
retains the core fruit flavours of plums, cherries and
blackberries, but gains extra polish. Pair this Shiraz with
flavourful meals! Silver Award*

Powerful fruit and spice flavour, with mellow tannins for a supple

Italian Amarone
Italian Amarone is a very intense and complex wine, with a wide array of
flavours and aromas. Deep ruby red, this heavyweight wine exudes aromas
of sour cherries, dark chocolate, stewed plums, dried fruits, anise,
raisins, bitter almond, tobacco, leather and molasses, and has a
spicy-earthy bittersweet finish that lengthens on indefi nitely from the
huge volume of tannins. Delightful with food, Italian Amarone is often
enjoyed by itself, sipped outside of mealtimes with good conversation
and good friends.Silver Award*

Italian Montepulciano
Montepulciano is a vigorous red grape variety widely planted over much
of east-central Italy, capableof creating deeply coloured, rich red
wines with blackberry fruit flavours and spicy, peppery tannin levels.
Montepulciano generally produces wines that are smooth and mellow yet
robust and mouth filling, with dependably high alcohol content. Superb
with veal and pasta – an Italian gem you won’t want to miss.Silver
