Bersano Gavi DOCG 2016
$88Origin: Piedmonte, Italy
Bright straw yellow with greenish hues. The bouquet is characteristic and fragrant, with hints of pineapple and peach, and a note of apricot. Rich and full in the mouth with a long fruity and persistent aftertaste. Excellent as an aperitif, and recommended with hors d’oeuvres, shellfish and fish dishes in general.

Siglo Gran Reserva 2009
$99Origin: Rioja, Spain
Ruby red colour with coppery, golden glints. Smooth with a harmonious complexity of vanilla and spices from the oak-ageing process. Meaty and velvety smooth on the palate, with a powerful, fragrant and complex finish. Wine matches perfectly with lamb, grilled meats and cheeses.
Xavier Chateauneuf du Pape Anonyme 2010
$119Origin: Rhone Valley, France
Dark purple in colour, almost black in the centre. Ripe black cherries, smoked meat, and a basket of dried flowers and spices all move in and out of the background as the nose develops in the glass. On the palate the wine is solid, multi-dimensional and opulent, with sweet, graphite-infused black fruit flavours that echo in the nose: cherries, cassis, dried figs and cocoa.
Brigaldara Amarone Case Vecie 2012
$155Origin: Veneto, Italy
Deep ruby. Very ripe, almost roasted nose of dried cranberry, kirsch, brown spices, figs macerated in sugar syrup and botanical herbs. Then fresher and suave, with clean and precise flavours of cinnamon, pepper, tobacco and potpourri. Finishes long with young, chewy but polished tannins.
