Menu / Wines

On arrival

Jansz Premium Cuvée

$19.90

Jansz Premium Cuvée
A lovely aperitif style, with lifted honeysuckle and citrus from the Chardonnay and delicate strawberry Pinot characters. Tirage age adds nutty complexity and creamy texture.

Entrée

Seared sea scallops with pork belly

2013 Oakridge Over the Shoulder Pinot Grigio

$18.10

* 2013 Taylor's Pinot Gris

$8.75

Oakridge Over the Shoulder Pinot Grigio
Made by 5-star Halliday Winery Oakridge these Over the Shoulder wines offer excellent value for money. Dry, textural and crunchy with pristine pear flavours, this is a refreshing alternative to NZ Sauvignon Blanc.
Taylors Pinot Gris
Taylors Pinot Gris is a strikingly varietal wine showing notes of baked apple and pear on the nose, with characteristic texture on the palate and soft acidity on the finish. Ideally suited to a whole range of foods, especially flash-barbecued prawns.

Main

Pan fried pork fillet. Gratin of bacon and chive potatoes
with a porcini mushroom sauce

2013 Yalumba Old Bush Vine Grenache

$17.09

* 1998 Orlando St Hugo Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

$25.64

Yalumba Old Bush Vine Grenache
The 2013 is a lively and expressive wine with layers of raspberry compote, cherry paté de fruit and Asian spices, with underlying hints of briar and stalk that help to maintain the wines freshness. The palate is medium weighted Grenache that is deliciously silky, balanced and structured with gorgeous clarity and precision.

St Hugo Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon
Without doubt one of the best Hugo's ever. Still amazingly youthful this will go on for years to come. Full bodied wine with dense, ripe, concentrated fruit characters supported by spicy French oak and supple tannins, with long lasting flavour.

Dessert

Passion fruit tart. Double cream.

2014 Bethany Late Harvest Riesling - Dessert Wine


$18.99

Bethany Late Harvest Riesling
Made from very low yielding vines, cordon pruned and hand picked long after the general Bethany harvest, this elegant, complex Late Harvest Riesling displays wonderful passionfruit and citrus characters on both nose and palate followed by a superb fresh, crisp finish. With careful cellaring, it will improve in depth, flavour and complexity for a long time.
