Applewood Økar Australian Amaro 750ml

This spirit is literally the 'Taste of Australia'.

It's an Amaro - a type of bitter/herbal aperitif that have been popular for more than a century - famous for it's use in the Negroni or Spritz. We like to take an Australian-spin on things - and dry aperitifs seem to epitomise a renaissance in contemporary Australian drinking.

Hahndorf Hill Gru Gruner Veltliner 2021

This wine can't seem to stop winning awards! The best Gruner Veltliner outside of Austria in 2013, and more recently the best Australian Gruner in 2021. We're inclined to agree with the accolades though, as will you be after one whiff of this savoury and enticing wine. Think white necatarines, fresh ginger, lemon juice and wet slate.

Their Riesling/ Grüner blend is zesty and aromatic, think kaffir lime leaves and pink lady apple skin, and plenty of flesh and salinity.

Maturation took place in both puncheons and barriques for 10 months (approximately 15% new).

Despite possessing plenty of depth and structure, this is classically fragrant, pretty and elegant, with … more
