Menu / Wines

On arrival

Dal Zotto Prosecco Pucino NV (King Valley)

$20.89

Pucino is the ancient Roman name for Prosecco. Dal Zotta recreated that ancient style here by using the charmat method to delivery a Prosecco of true richness and complexity that is perfectly suited to a wide array of occasions. The Dal Zotto family has decided to make this wine one of their mainstays, and they’ve delivered an impressive, zesty style that has plenty of appeal as an aperitif or partly filler. There’s plenty of fresh cut pear and apple fruit here - really pure and even. The palates smooth and fi nely stated, with delicious, gently creamy texture.

Antipasto

Prawn tails wrapped in calamari, served on an orange, carrot and rosemary salad.

United Cellars 'Own Label' Pinot Grigio
It has a pale lemon nose with ripe apple and pear aromas with soft floral notes. The palate is fresh and crisp with minerality and apple-citrus flavours.

Petaluma Hanlin Hill Riesling
Petaluma Riesling is always a beacon for quality when it comes to Australian Riesling. Their Hanlin Hill vineyard, located in the heart of the Clare Valley is now over 40 years old and continues to turn out great Riesling after great Riesling. The 2008, defined by the trademark backbone of natural acidity and the floral citrus palate, is now starting its journey out of its traditional slumber after a few years and is blossoming into a full-blown, richly textured treasure.
