Apsley Gorge Pinot Noir 2008 Tasmania
Everyone, it seems, has a very different opinion on Pinot Noir, and this one has proven to be a particularly devisive example. Huge richness of fruit - too much, some say - with all the hallmarks of maker Brian Franklin's many years spent making great Burgundy in France. Decide for yourself.
$ 57.96 each

Wobbly Boot 2011 Sauvignon Blanc Tasmania
Delightful pristine, spritely, dry, new Tasmanian release. Drinking well now, excellent value.
$ 21.96 each

Spring Vale 2009 Pinot Noir
Excellent latest release from this icon Tasmanian East Coast producer. Medium weight with intense sappy dark cherry nuances and spicy notes throughout. Cellaring of 6-9 years.
$ 42.50 each

Milton 2009 Pinot Noir
Last stocks of what, for us, was one of the best '09 Tassie releases. Recently pointed 3rd in the Gourmet Traveller Wine Tas Pinot feature. Displaying ripe berry fruits through the palate which has depth and silky edges. Also one to cellar- 6-9 years.
$ 34.50 each

Milton Laura Rose 2008
A beautifully balanced - not too dry or sweet, creamy palate, lingering crisp finish - and totally delicious 'salmon pink' fizz. Held its own against competitors twice the price in the Mercury fizz tasting.
$ 34.51 each

Burge Family "Clochemerle" 2008 South Australia
Intriguing, fruit-rich Grenache - Shiraz - Zinfandel - Souzao blend, packing loads of plum, dark chocolate, and spice on a healthily satisfying palate with a lingering finish. Organically grown. We love it, and devotees of Rick's wines won't be disappointed.
$ 18.95 each

Burge Family 'Olive Hill' Shiraz M G 2008 South Australia
Latest and last shipment of this Mouvedre - Shiraz - Grenache blend. Displaying volumes of lifted ripe fruit and plum cake, there are many Cool Wine fans of this wine. Will carry hearty and spicy meat and vege dishes with ease.
$ 28.91 each

Winstead 2006 "Lot 7" Pinot Noir Tasmania
An oustanding six year old Pinot. Rich, with a silky smooth mouth feel, placing it among some of the best of the fuller Tasmanian examples. Bagdad's best kept secret!
$ 44.51 each

Glaetzer-Dixon Uberblanc Riesling 2011 Tasmania
Timely new release from 'Australia's young winemaker of the year', Nick Glaetzer. Lively lime and mineral notes, with hints of tropical fruit, and some floral notes on the nose which come through on the palate along with attractive lemon. Good length, clean, crisp and typically dry.
$ 25.51 each

Third Child 2011 Riesling Tasmania
$19.50 (was $24.50) + 30% off Interstate Freight! Tasmanian Riesling is finally getting the attention it deserves.One new name (new to me ,anyway)that deserves a second look is the Third Child 2011Riesling. This young Riesling reflects its vintage: subtle and reserved with delicate florals and emerging citrus and lime flavours, and ever so slightly off dry.... Jeni Port, Age Epicure (17/04/2012)
Normally $ 24.50 each
Special while stocks last $ 19.50 each

Waterton 2009 Riesling Tasmania
Yes, THAT Waterton Riesling (in case you haven’t heard it won 'Best Riesling', out of 440 entries, at the recent International Riesling Challenge). Stock is limited!
$ 32.50 each

Craigow 2008 Riesling
Multiple gold and trophy winner, and a delightful and classic Tasmanian Riesling. Light gold, really attractive soft floral nose, alluring dry honey suckle. Cellaring potential for 6-8 years.
$ 29.50 each

Stoney Vineyard 2006 Cab Sauv
Making its debut in-store with winemaker Peter Althause in mid-January, this latest vintage is a delightfully structured, ripe Tasmanian Cabernet. Three years in oak makes it primed for drinking immediately, but 6-9 years cellaring is still well within its purview.
$ 32.50 each
