This wine is made from fruit grown by Larry and Angela at Cobbobonnee vineyard, west of Heywood in GI Henty, Victoria. 2022 was a cool year, with plenty of hen and chicken in the Pinot Gris creating loads of small berries in the bunches, which meant very good flavour. The fruit was destemmed and spent 2 days on skins prior to natural ferment starting. It then had 4 days of fermentation on skins prior to pressing. Fermentation was completed in … more

Ardbeg Ten Years Old 700ml is revered around the world as the peatiest, smokiest, most complex single malt in existence. Yet it does not flaunt the peat; rather it gives way to the natural sweetness of the malt to produce a whisky of perfect balance. Typically most whiskies are chill-filtered and reduced to a strength of 40% ABV. Ardbeg Ten Years Old, however, is non chill-filtered and has a strength of 46% ABV, thus retaining maximum flavour, at the same … more
Heady, intense and powerful. A collision of waxy dark chocolate, warm blackcurrants and muscovado sugar pulls you under its spell with a burst of plump cherries and earthy pine needles leaping from its depths. Salty seasoning brings a briny character with tangy crisp seaweed and smoky bacon swirling on the surface with hints of sweet vanilla, spicy cloves and blueberries.
Taste: Torrents of taste well up on the palate; deep, peppery and chewy, bombarding the tongue with its intense tastes … more
Ardbeg HEAVY VAPOURS is the most FULL-BLOWN Ardbeg ever!
Traditionally, during production the purifier catches the heaviest vapours which means that Ardbeg is not just "all peat" but gets a supremely balanced taste.
For the release of this batch the purifier was removed from the distillation process before being matured in classic Ardbeg casks. And this whisky is the consequence.
Heavy Vapours have risen, making this dram the most full-blown Ardbeg ever.
Ardbeg wash distilled without the purifier & matured … more

There are few things in life more fun than drinking a glass of Txakoli. It's spritzy and fresh, with gorgeous white stone fruit notes and a hint of almost sandy minerality. If you want the full Basque experience however, then brush up on your Catalan so you can Txotx your Txakoli, and pair with pintxos when you go out to Txiketeo.

The 2022 is a wonderfully red fruited and aromatic Pinot Noir. Spice notes of cardamom and ginger combine with rosehip and pomegranate. A savoury note reminiscent of manuka smoke and prosciutto mingle enticingly with the red fruits. The palate has an array of flavours ranging from raspberry compote to rhubarb and orange zest. Smooth and supple on the entry, fine tannins are buoy by freshness to a long-sustained finish. Mid ruby in colour, with an almost transparent hue, the 2022 … more
