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.

2006 Vintage Burgundy Offer
Cameron and Phil were lucky enough to try quite a few of the 06 Burgundies while visiting the region in May 2008 and feel that it is a very good vintage that really warrants your attention for both the reds & whites. The wines are pure, fresh and offer great structure for longevity. There is a selection of top quality producers here including: Blain Gagnard, Louis Carillon, Bouchard, Comte Armand, de Montile, Gouges and a store fav Mongeard Mugneret.

2007 Vintage Bordeaux Pre-Arrival Offer
2007 wasn't the easiest vintage for producers with a lot of work required in the vineyard to make sure the crops ripened and survived. The style of wine made is more elegant, early drinking compared to other recent vintages. They should not be bad, just different to previous years. The good news market pressure forced producers to drop their prices considerably and a lot of the top houses are now more affordable
