Fitzpatrick 2016  The Unwinder Ehrenfelser $25.30
+taxes

NEW VINTAGE RELEASE~NEW WINE IN STORE

No grape in our vineyard loves sun like Ehrenfelser. It basks in the August heat, soaking up the light while its tropical flavours deepen and intensify. So it’s no coincidence that the wine is most at home on hot, lazy days—paired perfectly with an advanced state of relaxation. The nose shows heaps of pineapple, spice as well as some grapefruit, with rose petal that jumps out of the glass. This wine’s supple palate is well-layered with lychee and ripe stone fruit, fine acidity and a lengthy finish. Pair with Proscuitto. Burrata. Crusty Bread. Perfect. Only 650 cases produced. Serve it chilled, super chilled, or lightly chilled. Ehrenfelser is flexible like that.


  Volcanic Hills 2014 Magma Red $16.59+taxes
NEW VINTAGE RELEASE 

It’s light-medium ruby in colour, fruity with aromas of cherry, plum, vanilla/light smoke with hints of white pepper, herbs and floral. On the palate it’s a mix of red and dark berries, vanilla, smoke, with just a touch of pepper on the finish. Medium acidity with integrated light tannin makes this a fantastic food wine. Serve at 16 - 18⁰C and best consumed within 4 - 6 years of vintage. Blend: Zweigelt,Marechal Foch, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Gamay. It’s delicious with barbeques, spaghetti and meatballs, stews and casseroles, chicken parmesan, lamb, game, venison and roasts.
