This is just a sample to whet your appetite).

Exclusive

Amongst a raft of small producers that we deal with directly, we are particularly proud to be the only offically approved Victorian retail outlet for Rockford Wines which covers their complete range (including one product that you don't even see at cellar door!)

We are also a member of the Alliance of Independant Fine Wine Merchants, a select group of 9 shops from all around Australia, who have banded together to secure exclusive access to certain wines.

"Alliance" wines will always offer exceptional value and the consumer will have the security that the wine will have been tasted and approved by a very select group of Fine Wine Merchants.

Look for the Alliance logo instore and on this site, and keep an eye out for upcoming wines under this logo and label.

It includes names such as Ata Rangi, Masi, Sassicaia, Ornellaia, Pingus, Alvaro Palacios, JJ Prum, Dr Loosen, Ramonet, Sauzet, Armand Rousseau, Guigal, Chateau Margaux, Raveneau, Chateau d'Yquem, Josmeyer, Hugel and Domaine de la Romanée-Conti to name a few.
