On arrival

Sparkling wine

2019 Croser Vintage Pinot Noir Chardonnay Picadilly Valley Petaluma

$32.00

Croser Vintage Pinot Noir Chardonnay

Croser was one of the original method Champenoise Aussie sparklers to raise the bar on the quality of domestic fizz. With a healthy dose of Pinot Noir, there is plenty of full-bodied fruit with some subtle mealy notes, soft strawberry fruit and citrus zest to keep things fresh. A great aperitif, there is enough palate weight to enjoy this over dinner.

White wine 1

Postcards from Italy Soave Doc Organic

Soave

Veneto Italy continues to provide stunning wine after stunning wine, and this soave is no exception. A superb white wine, you'll almost be transported to a sunny afternoon at the vineyard with each sip of this drop. Lemon in colour with green hues you'll experience aromas of golden apple, green pear and chamomile flowers. This is one savoury and well balanced wine with hints of almonds on the finish, making it a truly pleasant tipple to enjoy at lunch or on a balmy evening.

* Chateau Fayau Cadillac Sauterne

$26.99

Chateau Fayau Cadillac Sauterne

Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged pale gold edges and a watery hue. Intense honeyed peach scents rise from the glass with marmalade, ripe apricot and spice also present. Rich, luscious palate flavours of honeyed peaches and apricots fill the mouth over some light marmalade, citrus and spice. Excellent length although not quite the weight or concentration of top flight Sauternes. Good fresh finish with a long-honeyed peach, apricot, marmalade and spice aftertaste.
