Unico Zelo Alluvium
$38.99
Unico Zelo champions Australian culture with playful, sustainable wines crafted from drought-resistant grapes for easy enjoyment and a fresh perspective on Australian wine.
Ever had a wine that tastes like you're drinking a laser? Well, we've made one - Alluvium. The epic vineyards we source this from are just around the corner from our Gumeracha winery in Birdwood. The Fiano (along with some Nero) was grafted from Sauvignon Blanc back in 2015!
This wine is in peak form in 2022. Its definition and tension has not been this pronounced in a few vintages - the acid is thrilling, crackling and ready to burst out of the bottle. Texturally it's on point, less waxy than some of the others in the range which really suits this leaner style. All grapefruit pith, perfectly ripe pineapple, guava, kaffir lime and jasmine tea, with that great mineral feature aromatically.

Ken Wright Chardonnay
$54.99
After 47 years of wine making experience Ken Wright Cellars believes in a simple truth: source is everything. Their approach to the craft of wine growing is one of stewardship rather than manipulation. They use organic certified practices as a base and expand upon that with advanced nutrition-based farming. By analyzing both their soil profile and vines, maintaining proper crop levels, personally sampling each vineyard, and hand-sorting each cluster, they ensure that the inherent character in their fruit is revealed in the finished wine. Minimal handling of wine is essential to preserve what it is; a gift of nature. While Ken Wright is deservedly famous for his excpetional Pinot Noirs the Chardonnay is a revelation; full, rich, minerlally.
Clos Cibonne Tibouren Tradition Rose
$63.99
The heart of Clos Cibonne is their traditional, goblet-trained tibouren, which is believed to be a very old grape variety, originally grown in Mesopotamia, propagated by the Greeks, before being transported by the Romans to Italy in the Liguria region, where it is known as rossese. Tibouren is a very fine, thin-skinned grape which requires a lot of ventilation to be successful and needs to grow close to the ocean, with lots of ventilation to be successful and avoid issues with rot. All of these requirements make Clos Cibonne the perfect terroir for tibouren, as they are walking distance to the ocean and constantly blasted with the drying winds from the mistral. André Roux, the architect of the modern winery, was a great fan of this native variety and understood its potential to be the ideal grape for the region. It is one of the most expressive rose wines on the planet, and is rivalled only by Domaine Tempier in our opinion.
