2006 Mosquito Hill Chardonnay @ $12.00… 15 years ago, over a few glasses of truth serum the maker told me he’d one day make a wine exactly like this! Tight, flinty fruit presents in a medium bodied palate punctuated with piercing acidity – very Chablis. … screwcap

2008 Penny’s Hill Red Dot SSB @ $10.00 ticks all the boxes for this blend, tropical fruit and fresh asparagus over a refreshing, crisp cleansing palate.

2008 Bird in Hand Clare Riesling @ $20.00 offers a brilliance and clarity of fruit with lemon and lime on the nose and a fresh, lean palate supported by cleansing acidity – delicious right now but worth cellaring … screwcap Bonus Brian Barry Rizza on 6

2007 Lost Valley Cortese @ $19.00 is a real treat for lovers of the aromatic. This is medium bodied and bursting with aromas of nashi pear, citrus and orange blossom. A cult hero with big wraps in the wine press and on pour in Qantas international first class by the glass … screwcap

2005 Jacobs Creek Reserve Chardonnay @ $13.00 is fantastic - rich, smooth and mealy, with very youthful colour and acidity. Softly textured and creamily inviting, Bill ‘n’ Ben might just liken it to flobba dobba fun. 5 gold medals to date.

2008 Wirra Wirra Riesling @ $15.00 sourced 100% of the fruit for this wine from the cool climate Adelaide Hills. This edition is tight and fighty, full of green apple crunch,excoriated by molten swashes of lemon and lime. Intense and well suited to a plate of fresh oysters. Should cellar magnificently. 94/100 from the Wine Front.
Buy 6 bottles, receive 1 Brian Barry Riesling FREE

2008 Crowded House Sauvignon Blanc @ $15.00 is at the complex end of the SB style guide. Thanks to multiple picking dates and yeast strains, passion fruit presents counterpoint to the green herbals we take for granted. Lees stirring in tank has insinuated a softening creaminess and textured complexity …screwcap
Take 6 and we’ll include a Tyrrell’s SSB FREE

2007 Zonte’s Footstep Viognier @ $12.00. Viogniers ain’t Viogniers, often too oily and cloying to satisfy -better raised in the physical commissioning of ships than in celebratory toast of launch. But like the nursery rhyme, when they are good they are very, very good and this is a fine tinctural adjunct to celebration. It has citrus blossom and apricot fragrance, natural fruit sweetness and a zing of drying, tea like tannin to finish … screwcap
Buy 6 and we’ll include a 500ml bottle of the zippy Two Hands Moscato FREE

2006 Jones Rd Jr. Jones Mornington Chardonnay @ $14.00 is another one of our great Mornington discoveries. The nose is complex (figs, nuts and cream), the palate weighty, with new oak playing a supporting role … screwcap

2008 Bird in Hand Rose @ $18.00. Sour cherry and strawberry of the pinot match well in this elegant wine featuring fine acid, vibrant redcurrant and strawberry fruit- Great for a Sunday arvo thumb-twiddle.

Reds

2007 Mosquito Hill Willunga Pinot @ $14.00 Here’s a pinot that balances richness with a sense of wiry suave which we reckon is a good thing when it comes to pinot. This one is rich and clean with excellent red fruit flavours along with black cherries, spritely acid and fine but firm tannins. Who said you can’t get excellent Pinot for less than $25 … screwcap

2006 Vincognita Cabernet @ $18.00. Made by Chris Dix and called Vincognita because Fox Creek didn’t want the world to know that their winemaker was making this fantastic kit. Chris has since moved on, hence being able to reveal his identity. This is top cab grown over ironstone soils. It offers blackcurrant, tobacco leaf, cassis and liquorice. Swarthy yet refined and an each way bet for drinking now or cellaring … screwcap

2006 Bullseye Shiraz @ $14.00 offers blackberries, chocolate, coffee and a hint of white pepper. Aged in good French/Yankee oak for 16 months post basket pressing, this is big with lively fruit, excellent mouthfeel, intensity and length. Another Chris Dix / Vincognita production … screwcap

2006 Tim Adams Bayes Block Shiraz @ $14.00. As above, a new addition to Tim’s portfolio, 100% Clare and a lovely drop. Bright and fresh fruit here, with flavours of chocolate and plum spiced by savoury oak. Length is good and tannins are soft, enhancing the fruit beautifully.

JJ ^w HAHN

2005 JJ Hahn 1928 Shiraz @ $30.00. This is a fantastic expression of Barossa Shiraz. Fruit is ripe and generous, the pallet complex, long and lingering. Oak is beautifully supportive. Awesome … cork Take 6 and we’ll include a JJ Hahn 1914 Shiraz valued at $60 FREE.
"The 2005 Shiraz 1928 is opaque purple-colored with an expressive bouquet of cedar, pencil lead, mineral, violets, tar, blueberry, and blackberry. This is followed by a medium-to full-bodied wine with gobs of ripe fruit, spicy black fruit flavors already exhibiting complexity, a harmonious personality, and a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. Drink it over the next 10-12 years". eRobertParker.com # 173. Oct 2007

2005 JJ Hahn 1914 Shiraz @ $39.00 is a rich ripe wine with superb fruit intensity and balance. Just a tick richer and more intense that it’s younger brother, the 1928, this wine is lip smacking right now, but will reward careful cellaring…cork.
Take 6 and we’ll include a JJ Hahn 1928 Shiraz valued at $50 FREE.

2005 Tim Adams Cab Merlot @ $17.00 is a dark horse. Already 4 years old it is just beginning to emerge from slumber. Give it an hour in the decanter before drinking and you’ll see a strapping but lean beast emerge from its repose. Once wild of nostril, frothy flanked and angular it now offers fine aristocratic aromas, a healthy satin sheen and lean but rounder figure - ready to race and absolutely delightful. Flavours are of blackcurrant, violet and plum …screwcap

2008 McWilliams Select Series Shiraz Cab @ $10.00 Here’s an honest quaffer, clean and medium bodied with good fruit and a waft of spice. Good mid week with yesterdays leftovers.
