Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Réserve

Winemaker's notes: "Floral, fruit with subtle predominance of white fruits: pear, apple, almonds and hazelnuts. On the palate, it's fresh, smooth, pleasant and balanced." They recommend it with lobster and cream sauce, and with what you're saving here, you might just be able to afford it.

$44.99 per bottle or $39.99 for 6 or more

Piper Heidsieck Non-Vintage

To the eye, a sparkling clarity, pale gold in colour.

To the nose, the very first impressions are of bright, fresh mornings. It is reminiscent of spring blossom such as hawthorn. They lead into more fruity notes such as summer apple and pear, then citrus, with hints of warm toastiness.

To the palate, the first impression is lively and fresh. The citrus notes take on a certain maturity. There is passion with gentleness, lightness with spontaneity.

$49.99 per bottle or $39.99 for 6 or more

 
     
 

Chandon Vintage Brut

A perfect combination of freshness, complexity and character, the Chandon Vintage Brut 2008 greets you with roasted chestnuts, almond biscotti and lifted citrus blossom aromas. The palate exudes creamy and rich flavours with crème caramel, crisp stone fruit and nougat extending into the red berry, spice and dark cherry influence of pinot noir. With a crisp, refreshing finish and wonderful persistence it is a wine for any occasion.

$34.99 per bottle or $29.99 for 6 or more

Pelorus Non-Vintage Brut

The pale straw colour and aromas of ripe citrus fruits indicate the chardonnay origins of Pelorus Brut . A bouquet of apple and lemon complements fresh bready notes derived from two years bottle ageing on lees. The deliciously crisp palate displays toasty, creamy complexity, enhanced by a lingering nutty finish.

$34.99 per bottle or $29.99 for 6 or more

 
     
 

Chandon Brut (Non-Vintage)

The Chandon Brut is straw yellow in colour with flashes of green and a fine persistent bead. A bright and fresh fruit bouquet of citrus blossom, subtle pear and white nectarine combines with savoury characters of roasted nuts and delicate spices. The entry is soft with generous primary fruit characters followed by a creamy mid-palate offering nougat and nectarines extending to a lingering and crisp brut finish.

Grandin Non-Vintage

From France and made in the traditional style, but not from the Champagne region, this is a blend of Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and a few other grapes. Not your traditional Champagne style, but great value at this price. Toasty, yeasty background... it'll keep everyone happy

$16.99 per bottle or $12.99 for 6 or more

Henkell Trocken

This dry, fully matured sparkling wine owes its elegant character to a unique Cuvée of excellent wines originating from such classic grape varieties as French Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Blanc de Noir from French Pinot Noir and Chenin from Saumur. The taste is fresh, tingling, with a lingering finish, while a subtle fragrance suggestive of tropical fruit develops in the bouquet. The finely blended, harmonious composition makes Henkell Trocken a well-balanced, consummate taste experience.

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc

Pale straw green in colour and enticingly fragrant, the 2011 Sauvignon Blanc offers lifted aromas of ripe stonefruit and juicy citrus with underlying notes of blackcurrant leaf and tomato plant spice. The palate is fine yet succulent, with zesty citrus flavours and fresh acidity. There is an appealing plushness about this wine especially as it leads into a lingering and characteristically crisp finish.

$33.99 per bottle or $29.99 for 6 or more

Saint Clair "Block 6" Sauvignon Blanc

Super strong flavours, this is like a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc but with the volume turned right up.

Brokenwood Chardonnay

Great colour of pale yellow and green tints. The aromas are in the tropical spectrum with background ‘meal’ characters from the yeast lees stirring. White peach flavours initially and soft cashew, vanillin oak feature on the palate. There is a medium alcohol and glycerol weight and a long finish. A great example of Brokenwood’s complex, barrel fermented Chardonnay that will gain weight to give a full flavoured palate. The use of screw cap will ensure consistent aging.

Evans & Tate Classic Dry White

Very pale straw with a vibrant green rim. On the nose, classic Semillon Sauvignon Blanc characters of honeydew melon, nectarine, green apple, lemongrass and lime zest show on the nose. A touch of dried herbs, distinct to our Classic White style, adds a further dimension. The palate is long and dry with a lovely juicy sensation from the Semillon imparting intense front palate fruit flavour whilst the Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc contribute length and tightness to the overall blend.

Brand's Laira "Blockers" Cabernet Sauvignon

Intense deep crimson red. On the nose, vibrant and perfumed displaying varietal fruit aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and black olive, with vanilla, cedar and spicy notes, while on the palate, rich and complex displaying juicy sweet dark berry fruits with spicy and toasty flavours from barrel maturation. The wine has a long lingering finish with a fine silky tannin structure

$24.99 per bottle or $19.99 for 6 or more

         
 

Brokenwood Pinot Noir

A mid-weight pinot noir. Good depth of colour and youthful purple tints evident. Great complexity to the aromas. Lifted red cherry over sweet earthy savoury characters with a touch of oak sweetness. The balance is aided by ripe tannins giving a lingering finish. This will mature further, although enjoyable as a fresh, zippy young Pinot Noir.

$24.99 per bottle (flat price)

Langmeil "Hanging Snakes" Shiraz Viognier

Speaking a local dialect known as ‘Barossa-Deutsch', a blend of German and English that embodies much of the history of the district, one of Langmeil's best growers doesn't curse, just as his forebears didn't, but in the heat of vintage is oft heard to mutter "Hangin' Snakes!”. Since rejuvenating the abandoned 19th Century vineyards and cellars, in less than two decades Langmeil has created an enviable worldwide reputation for its coveted Shiraz.

$19.99 per bottle or $17.99 for 6 or more

         
 

Smith & Hooper Merlot

Smith & Hooper wines are sourced entirely from two Wrattonbully estate vineyards - adjacent vineyard blocks previously owned by the Smith and Hooper families. These are premium red wines from exceptional vineyard sites where the winemaking philosophy is to let the terroir speak for itself - and it does. The elements of soil and climate at Smith & Hooper have transformed the noble varieties of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon into wines of finesse and distinction.

Mr Frog Pinot Noir or Cabernet Shiraz Merlot

The Pinot Noir is ruby red. Ripe raspberry, blackberry and cherry characters with hints of savoury oak and spicy undertones. A silky palate with lovely, ripe fruit characters and fine tannins. Drink now or over the next 3 or 4 years.

The Cabernet Shiraz is Colour is a dark red/ purple. Fully aromatic blackcurrant nose, dark cherry and blackberry characters with hints of leather and nutmeg spice, layers of scented cedar/ oak. The blackcurrant characters follow through in abundance onto the distinctly regional Cabernet Shiraz palate, dark berry fruit with great intensity and weight, complemented by soft, fine grain tannins. "Exquisitely varietal with currant and mint, pepper and plums, black cherries with cassis aromas and long, fine flavours. Built to be an early drinker, Mr Frog is sure to age well, but who can wait? He's wet and slippery and decidedly Victorian.
