Tapanappa ‘Whalebone’ Vineyard Cabernet Shiraz, 2015 16 75
Tapanappa was formed in 2002, an exciting partnership between pioneers of the Piccadilly Valley, the Croser family, the Cazes family of Chateau Lynch Bages, Bordeaux and the famed families of Bollinger, Champagne.
The defining mission of the partnership is to produce Australian fine wines of distinction by continuing Brian’s career-long mission of selecting distinguished sites, matching the climate, soil and geology of the site to the right varieties, and fastidiously managing the vineyard to maximise quality.
Winemaker Brian Croser has a long-lived respect for the land, one of his main principles being “to use the most expressive and unique terroirs of Australia”, a principle which led him to pioneer two great South Australian wine regions, become a highly respected figure in the wine world and craft some seriously good site-specific wines.
Brian and Ann Croser are regular “adornments to our lives” here at Crafers and we feel very special to be able to represent these local legends and to offer you these very special wines.

4 FIRESIDE WINES
Louis Lequin “Cuvée Louis Isidore”Santenay 375ml, 1998 50 Domaine Louis Lequin has been producing Burgundy in Santenay for four centuries, since 1669, that’s almost enough time to figure out how to make great value Burgundy! For those who fancy a couple of glasses of aged, affordable & savoury red Burgundy.
CRFT “Budenberg Vineyard” Pinot Noir, 2016 60 Husband & wife team, Frewin Ries & Candice Helbig produce tiny volumes of excellent wine with their main philosophy lighting the way… For CRFT, it’s all about working with trusted local growers & minimal interference in the winery to create single vineyard wines that truly express the different sub-regions of the Adelaide Hills. For those who would appreciate the most structural and‘serious’ of the excellent 2016 CRFT Single Vineyard Pinot Noirs.
S.C. Pannell Nebbiolo, 2016 75 Quite simply, Steven Pannell is one of Australia’s finest and most imaginative winemakers. Nick Stock described him as potentially “one of the greatest Australian winemakers ever to make wines in our age”. Steve’s wines are made with modern Australian food & wine culture at the front of mind. The wines come from a range of stunning McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills vineyards, and are made from sustainable varieties that properly suit the South Australian climate. For those who’d like to pretend they’re in Italy whilst trying one of Australia’s premier Nebbiolos
Joh. Jos Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese 375ml, 2009 80 A revered name in the Riesling world, Prüm has the exceptional talent of crafting wines light in body but intense in flavour, exquisitely balanced & precisely tuned, as well as capable of the most amazing longevity. For those who fancy sipping something a little sweeter with dessert or for those who know what a cerebral treat a 10-year-old half bottle of Joh. Jos Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese is!
Campo Eliseo Toro Tempranillo, 2004 “Wines that exist for a reason”. Winter is one of these reasons. 140 Tinto de Toro, aka Tempranillo, made in old world Spain, but in a style that is a tip of the cap to the new world. More Barossa-like in its fullness, softness and dark fruited ripeness. For those who like bigger wines but would like to try something new.
5 SPARKLING WINES
VINTAGE GLS BTL
2019 Pete’s Pure Prosecco Sunraysia, NSW 8 35
Pete’s Pure is meant to be consumed fresh and young – drinkability and simplicity. But the real star here is sunshine; hailing from Euston in New South Wales, from an area known for volume, the clear skies and red earth produce clean, bright flavours. This abundance of sun makes growing grapes stress-free. Picked early with minimal wine-making artefact to keep things crisp, this wine is relaxed, clean and charming.

13 FEATURED COCKTAILS
Old Fashioned 18 The Old Fashioned was collectively created around 1900 by a bourbon distiller and a bartender at the Pendennis Club in Louisville. Few have been able to find a better cocktail that sweetens, chills and smoothens the flavour of whiskey. A classic still enjoyed today.
Adelaide Hills Negroni 20 Who doesn’t love a Negroni? The perfect balance between gin, vermouth and amaro. We believe in celebrating our local community and the producers around us. This drink highlights the delicious spirits that are being produced by our friends at Adelaide Hills Distillery.
Crafers 78° Gin Martini 20 Who doesn’t like a properly stirred (yes, stirred) martini? Our Gin Martini is crafted using the award winning 78° Small Batch Gin from just down the freeway. Now was it 46 or 48 stirs that make a great martini?
Moscow Mule 18 Created in Los Angeles around 1941, this classic was born when two parts of Vodka, ginger ale and a splash of lime was mixed. The cocktail was originally served in copper mugs with a kicking mule on the side. Hence the Moscow Mule.... we’re still not sure where the Moscow part comes in, but just go with it.
Side- Car 18 The Side Car is a classic Cognac cocktail famous from the era of the speakeasy bar and lounges. The cocktail features Cognac, orange and cinnamon. A perfect combination to sit in front of the fire on a rainy day.
