PinotNoirOne of the most difficult wines to produce. Its aroma is more complex than all of the other varietals with black cherry, roses, pronounced spices, ripe tomato, mushroom, dead leaves. It could be full bodied and rich but not heavy or high in alcohol, yet neither acidic or tannic, with substantial flavour despite its delicacy. The most appealing quality of pinot noir may be its soft, velvety texture. 201642°South Tasmania 522015CatalinaSound Marlborough,NZ 62! 2015GiantStepPinotNoir Yarravalley,VIC 68*The relatively light colour and perfumed bouquet are typicalof this vineyard, as is the understated elegance and finesseof the palate, spicy/savoury red fruits and silky tannins in aback-up role.2014PipersBrookEstatePinotNoir Tasmania 84!2015StMichaelEppan‘Blauburgunder’ AltoAdige,IT 86*This pinot noir develops to its full potential with itsgarnet red colour.

Corvina/RondinellaCorvina and Rondinella are two grape varieties commonly blended together in the making of famous Valpolicella wine and its prestigious Amarone.

Very complex and savoury, with toast, vanillaand dark cherry aromas.To create the Freeman 'Secco' Rondinella Corvina a portion ofthe grapes are dried in a prune dehydrator. The grapes arelayered on racks and gently heated in air tunnels, a processthat concentrates flavours and modifies the tannin structureof the seeds. The dried grapes are then added to thefermentation tanks. Subsequently aged for 12 months in acombination of old French and American oak barriques.

FiascoRiserva:2011VivianiAmaronedellaValpolicellaClassicoVeneto,IT168Viviani wines are made with the utmost thought for tradition. All grapes are picked by hand and carried to the drying room where the “appassimento” process can begin. Dark ruby red colour, consistent, on the nose intense and complex with notes of blackberry, cherries, flowers as violet and dried red roses, sweet spicy scents of vanilla, coffee and leather. The warm and smooth sensations related to the freshness and elegant tannins make this robust and opulent wine an excellence among the most typical Amarones.

2005/06BertaniAmaronedellaValpolicella Veneto,IT216Unlike most local producers Bertani owns its own vineyards allowing control over the entire production process. Bertani use natural drying methods putting the grapes to rest in the drying room refusing to use any kind of artificial conditioning. This is not due to any “philosophical” choice, but the tried and tested conviction that this is the only way to get great and distinctive Amarone wine, where elegance prevails over power. A perfumed nose with crushed red roses, black cherry and spicy tobacco. Immense depth and complexity on the palate: dried fruit, oolong tea, liquorice, spice, red-berry fruits, and a long velvety vanilla note on the finish.

Intense ruby red colour with garnet highlights. Clean, sophisticated, intense and complex aromas, rich in evolved overtones, with hints of anise, ripe wild berries and a light touch of vanilla. Warm with supple tannins, great structure, good length and considerable ageing capacity.

BarberaBarbera is the quintessential ‘table wine’ and the second most important variety after Nebbiolo, in the native region of Piedmont, Italy. It tastes both rich and light bodied with notes of blackberries and cherry, with light tannin and high acidity. !2014BriccoMaiolicaBarberad’Alba,DOC Piemonte,IT 68*This Barbera is very pleasant and easy to drink.

Shiraz/Syrah+BlendAustralian Shiraz are usually full bodied, producing rich, ripe, intense fruit flavoured wine. Syrah are slightly leaner, with more complex spice, earthiness and softer tannins. If you like bold, fruit forward wines with tannin, stick with Shiraz. If you’re looking for something a little more elegant and complex, the Syrah could be a good option. 2015LeopardwoodShiraz Heathcote,SA 382015Tyrrell’s HunterValley,NSW 482013Falesco‘Tellus’Syrah Lazio,IT 752015RockBare McLarenVale,SA 56!2013CampodiSasso‘InsogliodelCinghiale’Toscana,IT82*It is made from 32% Syrah and the remaining part is a blendof Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
