Australian Red Wines
The choice of red wines from Australia has never been greater. Quality and value are high and the concept of regionality and even terroir is very much the order of the day. We taste carefully to offer established names and new players. From Western Australia delicious cool Cabernets come from Plantagenet, Cullen and Suckfizzle as well as great Pinot Noir from Fonty’s Pool. South Australia has a multitude of regions and growers. From Clare Valley Grosett and Killakanoon produce fine wine, whilst in the Barossa John Duval and Charles Melton have few rivals. We find Wynns and Hollick in Coonawarra and Cascabel in the Mclaren Valley experiment with great effect. In Victoria Taltarni and Trentham produce sumptuous Heathcote Shiraz, with Tallarook using Rhone varietals in the Goulburn Valley and the historic Balgownie Estate in Bendigo making great Shiraz and Cabernet. Our offer extends to NSW wonderful wines from Clonakilla and Keith Tulloch.
