Auld Family Wines 'Strawbridge' Shiraz
$280.00
FROM THE WINEMAKER
Grapes for this Shiraz are sourced from our growers in the Barossa Valley. The well ripened grapes are carefully de-stemmed and crushed to fermenters where they are macerated in a way to minimise extraction of hard tannins. All providing a rich and generous nose and mouthfeel. This is achieved with less vigorous maceration and lower fermentation temperatures."

The easy option is a classic - Steak. Enjoy with a thick rib-eye steak and roasted veggies.

Barossa Shiraz. Hard to loose. Alluring dark chocolate and mocha a real winner.

HH 'Jim Jim' Shiraz
$140.00
Winemaking and Dogs go together. You will struggle to find a winery in Australia without a dog that calls it home. And it is often a dog that makes a winery feel like home for all.
Jim Jim was Hugh’s faithful Labrador / Kelpie at Hugh Hamilton’s estate in McLaren Vale, South Australia. Every vintage Jim Jim would eat Shiraz grapes only when they were ripe for the picking, so with viticultural skills like that, Hugh decided Jim Jim deserved his own brand. Jim Jim went to the big kennel in the sky in November 2010 but his talent is remembered in his wines. Smart Dog, Smart Wine!

One of the best value Shiraz's you will find in Hong Kong - this drinks like a wine with a much higher price tag. Juicy, fruit-driven body, moorish - real winner.

2015 5OS Red Blend
$170.00
The 5OS project, through an array of talented winemakers that call it home, is forging a new path for Australian wine, and creating an ever-brightening spotlight on small batch winemaking and the positive yet disruptive effect it can have. This is the front line of modern winemaking and we love supporting it.
This Red Blend is a cracking example of what 5OS is all about - have a crack and see if it works. This time, it did.
FROM THE WINEMAKER
"We use 'thrown together' here lightly. This wine is immaculately blended to equal a lot more than the sum of its parts, and its parts are pretty spectacular coming from our small and ever-so-sophisticated winery in the McLaren Vale. With too many parts to really mention, it's easier to just say that the density and class of this Aussie red would put wines at three time the price to shame. The only reason we have it is that we are mates. It also has an award-winning label that's an amalgam too."

Lighter than a typical Aussie Red, so see if you can match up with something that allows the wine to shine through. Perfect for a Friday night Pizza. Early evening Charcuterie (Chips and Dips).

2015 5OS Project Nero Blend
$180.00
Late last year we introduced you to the wonderful world of Nero. And it went bang! In just three short months, we sold out of all our precious stock and left our customers wanting more...
We have answered your call!
A series of Italian varieties grown in the heart of McLaren Vale, this beauty is unique before you even crack the top (Beauty refers to the wine and/or the lady on the label. Your choice). A blend of Nero d’Avola, Touriga, Montepulciano, Sangiovese and Sagrantino. A savoury European styled wine. Medium bodied with a touch of dry tannins but countering sweetness from the fruit.
Clean and crisp but alluring and very drinkable in its youth.
FROM THE WINEMAKER
"Bright, medium bodied in the glass, looks really well prepared. 5 varieties should probably have a menagerie of aromatics and this certainly does. If I can pull one out of the mix it’s this concentrated, candied fruit, almost like kids cough medicine but not quite as strong. The palate’s got a nice combination of sweet and tart fruits, along with an alluring herbal edge, again not surprising when you look at the varietal mix. Has me daydreaming about a Sunday roast on a full, long table with water droplets winding their way down the kitchen windows."
