December Wine of the Month | Special Mention
2015 Sandeman Late Bottle Vintage Port
With its intense complex aromas of forest fruits, it is a wonderful introduction to the full body's rich fruitiness of the palate packed with velvety red and black fruit flavours and a long silky finish.
What a way to round off that special Christmas lunch or dinner with this fine port and a selection of our speciality cheeses chosen from our very own deli.
To appreciate wine it must be tasted, to enjoy wine it must be shared.

2018 Yalumba Samuel’s Collection - Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon | Barossa Valley Australia - 14%vol
There are two iconic wines from this region the Barrosa Shiraz and the Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon both packed with fruit and character - but when you put them together - wow!
Sourced from vines between 10 to over 35 years of age sited on some of the richest soils on the planet. What a treat for the senses, on the nose dark red plums cherries and brooding dark chocolate with hints of redcurrant and cedar.
On the palate layer upon layer of rich indulgent flavours like those on the nose but embraced and a balanced warmth and a very long finish. Enjoy now or cellar for 5+ years. Perfect with black or bronze turkey and most game dishes as well as the very best mature cheeses.

Nu Gosset Grande Reserve Brut Chapagne | France
Gosset is the oldest wine house in Champagne founded in 1584, everything about this fine wine has quality written all over it from its iconic bottle to the sparkling liquid inside.
Predominantly made with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with a suggestion of Pinot Meunier. It has a luminous golden hue appearance with a steady even spread of equal-sized bubbles, the first indicator of high quality.
On the nose a fruity freshness with hints of lemon meringue and Mirabelle plums, while on the palate you are treated to a wine of great richness and volume.
As an aperitif, or if served with dishes such as paté, en-croute, roast chicken or Conte cheese, it is simply stunning.
