The Fruit reveals the rich flavours of the pear and musk with subtle hints of spice whilst the length and depth of the palate is balanced with fine acidity and textural complexity
Villa Maria Cellar Selection Sauvignon Blanc 2007, Marlborough, New Zealand
Founded in 1961, Villa Maria is New Zealand’s most highly awarded vineyard and their commitment to quality is certainly appreciated by the North and South Island wine lovers and those of us who live abroad. Crisp with characters of ripened lime and gooseberry and the freshest of passionfruit, Lychee and green nettles, this is a savvy Sauvignon Blanc rich with vibrant fruit and flavour.
Scarborough 2005 Blue Label Chardonnay, Hunter Valley, New South Wales
This wine style is youthful, yet flavorsome and elegant, Scarborough 2005 Blue label Chardonnay from the Hunter Valley in New South Wales. With fruit flavours including citrus and cream characters on the nose complements the aromas of the Lemon rind, nectarines and savoury yeasty overtones with the barest hint of Spicy Vanilla Oak makes this wine vibrant and exciting.
Champagne

Moet and Chandon Brut Imperial, an elegant harmonious wine with a clean smooth fruit driven bouquet. With a hint of cashew nut and smooth nectarine flavours, it is delicate and well balanced.
Veuve Cliquot Ponsardin, a well loved wine for its crisp full flavours. Its complex nose of apple, citrus and caramel is followed by full flavours of pure elegance, crispness and a slightly spicy finish.
Moet and Chanton Rose. This wine bubbles with life. The complexity of taste begins initially with figs and dried apricots progressively revealing nuances of cocoa and cinnamon.
Red Wine
Farr Rising Saigee 2005, Geelong, Victoria
Hand made with emphasis on quality and attention to detail, this is an ultra dry style of rose. With rosewater, mushrooms and earth aromas and a clean, spicy berry palate, this savoury wine is passionate in both colour and spirit.
Giant Steps, Sexon Pinot Noir 2005, Yarra Valley, Victoria
Vinification saw this hand picked fruit cold soaked and then hand plunged prior to spending eleven months in a combination of new and old French oak barriques. All this personal care and attention resulted in a lovely wine perfect for antipasto and tapas. The savoury nose reveals raspberries and red currents, leads the way to musk and sour cherries on the palate
Torbreck, The Steading 2005, Barossa Valley, South Australia
This Seductive blend of the traditional Barossa cultivars of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro has been described as very “Burgundian” in style! The Elegant and pure palate has subtle notes of crushed cherries, earth and ceder whilst the nose displays delicate aromas of truffle, five-spice with a rich inner core of licorice, leather and Provencal herbs.
Yering Station, Cabernet Sauvignon 2004, Yarra Valley, Victoria
The nose reveals all that we seek in an elegant Cabernet Sauvignon – sweet blackcurrants and mulberries interplaying with cedar and mocha chocolate. Wonderfully structured with fine, ripe tannins this elegant medium to full bodied wine is bounded to attract a flowing!
Dessert Wine
De Bortoli, Noble One 2004, Riverina, New South Wales
The creation of this Sauternes style wine by Darren de Bortoli in 1982 has been regarded as Australia’s benchmark dessert wine. The botrytis flavours of this wine combine peach, nectarine citrus and almond characters to create a luscious well balanced wine to be enjoyed with dessert or a fine blue cheese.
