Italy
Produced in the Northern part of Italy, Prosecco is a fascinating wine for its gentleness, its suppleness, its moderate body, its velvet smoothness and its sapidity. Obtained by Charmat method is the ideal system for the production of sparkling wines with fruity aromas, as this method respects the original character of the fruit.
Col Vetoraz l ays on the very top of the homonymous hill next to the "Mont" of Cartizze in S. Stefano di Valdobbiadene at 400 metres above sea level. Miotto Family settled down in Col Vetoraz in 1838 and started growing Prosecco and Cartizze grapes.

Semillon Although not as fashionable as Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon is regarded as a great and unique wine of Australia. It demands time in bottle, and rewards by developing from a zesty, grassy, lime and lemony youth, to a crescendo of palate pleasing richness, hinting at the likes of honey, roasted nuts and buttered toast, at 5 to 20 years of age.

Riesling Australia
Riesling has an ability to mature with age as well as delight with its youthful freshness. In addition to the famous Clare or Eden Valleys of South Australia, which develop this grape’s classic honey, toast & citrus characters with age, there are more fine examples of Riesling from Western Australia’s Great Southern region (great complexity), from Tasmania (crisp and perfumed) and the Barossa Valley (more rounded and full-flavoured) –

16 Chenin Blanc
The most famous Chenin Blanc comes from the beautiful village of Vouvray in France’s Loire Valley. These wines can age magnificently for decades and have been known to remain in prime condition for more than a century. The wine develops richness, complexity and depth over time but will never lose its fresh and fruit driven character.

18 White Burgundy, France
The Chardonnay of France’s Burgundy region is often expensive, but frequently worthwhile. Considered by many to be the world’s greatest expression of the grape, its renown goes back many centuries; in 1522 Erasmus wrote: "O happy Burgundy which merits being called the mother of men since she furnishes from her mammaries such a good milk”. This was echoed by Shakespeare, who refers in King Lear to "the vines of France and milk of Burgundy".

Pinot Meunier
Pinot Meunier has a longer history in Australian wine production than Pinot noir. It is best known as a component in the classic Champagne blend, however, in the Grampians region of Victoria, Pinot Meunier was known at one time as and used to make still red varietal wine. Pinot Meunier produces aromatic, lightly coloured red wine with crisp acid, red berry fruit flavours & distinct smoky notes that dominate as the wine ages.

Iconic Australian Shiraz
Australia has many wines worthy of the ‘Iconic’ title, below are just a few. Shiraz (the same grape as Syrah in France’s Rhône Valley) was one of the first vine varieties to arrive in Australia in 1832. So at home was it on its new turf, plantings prospered and it wasn’t long before the local population began to take it for granted. However, by the 1980s people had begun to realise how versatile it could be, its character changed depending on the region in which it was grown. - Wineaustralia.com

The Quintet Cabernets is based on the classic Bordeaux blend; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, with the final composition changing each season. First created and produced in the mid-seventies for friends and family, that circle continued to grow each season and has now become an iconic and rare, small volume wine highly sought after by Australian fine wine lovers. 2001 Mount Mary Yarra Valley, VIC 430 2002 Mount Mary Yarra Valley, VIC 420 2004 Mount Mary Yarra Valley, VIC 400

Cabernet Sauvignon Australia has been growing Cabernet Sauvignon for more than 100 years and our own Langhorne Creek region is home to the world’s oldest officially recorded Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard – 2 acres planted in 1891. It was the region of Coonawarra, in the 1970s, which first brought international attention to Australia’s version of this grape with its intense fruit flavours & a rich, seductive palate. Many regions now produce excellent ‘Cab Sav’ which can happily age for many years & develop those cigar box, spice & cassis notes that the varietal is famous for.

Spanish Reds
Spain produces some exciting, world class red wines from regions such as Rioja & Ribera del Duero famous for their rich and savoury Tempranillo production. Rioja Alta is known more for its "old world" style of wine, which can tend to be a little lighter; the Rioja Alavesa produces wines with a fuller body & higher acidity; and the Rioja Baja wines are very deeply coloured and can be highly alcoholic with some wines at 18% abv. Ribera del Duero & Rioja Tempranillo are complex wines capable of long aging. Priorat produces strong, intensely coloured and flavoured red wines that come from old, low yielding vineyards. Monstant, which surrounds the Priorat, tend to produce wines of a more refined character but equally complex; both use among others the Cariñena, Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah grapes.

Barolo & Barbaresco
Among the most enticing Italian wines, Barolo and Barbaresco of northern Italy’s Piedmont can be the most sublime and the most difficult to appreciate. Both are crafted from the thick-skinned, late-ripening Nebbiolo grape, which has proven unforgiving to almost anyone who tries to grow it anywhere but its native Piedmont. Extremely robust with aromas reminiscent of black fruits, tar & leather; high in both tannin and acidity, it takes a n experienced hand to produce really great Nebbiolo that is both enjoyable in its youth & capable of refinement with extended aging.

Sauternes
The powerfully sweet & luscious wines of Sauternes in the Bordeaux region of France produce some of the most sought after dessert wines in the world. A result of the misty Ciron River, Botrytis cinerea (Noble rot), hand picking, elite winemaking and a combination of the grapes - Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc & Muscadelle, produce these great wines.

Liquid Sunshine
The Muscat & Topaque from north-east Victoria are truly one of Australia’s “gifts” to the word of wine. These rich and textural wines are sometimes described as “liquid sunshine”, as the grapes are generally left on the vine much longer than usual. This allows the berries to store more natural sugar while drying out slightly in the warmth of Australia’s autumn days. Rutherglen Muscat & Topaque are classified under four descriptions that mark a progression in richness, complexity and intensity of flavour. Formerly named Tokay, in 2007, under the terms of the Australia-European Community Agreement on Trade in Wine, Australia agreed to cease using certain European names, including Tokay. A new name was then created and ‘Topaque’ was born; the same in every other way, only the name has changed.

Madeira Bottled The islands of Madeira have a long winemaking history and their fortified wines are some of the longest lived wines in the world, even after opening. Madeira is noted for its unique winemaking process which involves heating the wine up to temperatures as high as 60 degrees for an extended period of time and deliberately exposing the wine to some levels of oxidation, this replicates the historic sea journeys the wines used to take for sale in the UK. The styles of these luscious and complex fortified wines vary from the bone dry , followed by (nowadays this varietal is practically extinct) to and to the sweetest style sometimes known as .
