A pure fruit driven nose, perfumed with cut limes and a hint of spirit. The wine has a perfumed honeyed palate and is intensely fruity with white peach flavours and mineral complexity. Grapes are sourced from selected prime vineyards and harvesting is by hand or machine, depending on the site. Winemaking is ‘traditional’ and overseen by Jean Michel Lihrmann – pneumatic pressing, temperature controlled fermentation, no finings and light filtration before bottling – all to preserve fruit and aromatic qualities and elegance. His philosophy is to make wines with good acidity and fruit balance.

Many critics score this McLaren Vale wine highly.
Critic tasting note: Still a medium hued crimson colour, no whole bunches here, nine months in older French oak. Spicier than the previous wines, a little meatier in terms of its aromas. Mouthfilling and ripe fruit, really quite tangy, there's a plummy quality, but a rasp of tannin and souring acidity that gives some grip and real gastronomic appeal." - 91/100, Tom Cannavan

This orange wine brings together Inzolia and Zibibbo organic grapes to create a delicious, fruity and fresh wine. The wine gets its orange colour from contact with the grape skins.
At Cortese, we produce wine in the most traditional and natural way to reflect the true character of the estate’s terroir and its grape varieties. Taking tradition as our inspiration, we started to employ ancient wine-making techniques such as fermentation in terracotta. The resulting wines reflect the combination of modern technology and traditional techniques, with every nuance of the terroir showing through.
The wines are fermented on the skins at a controlled temperature of between 17 and 19 °C. The Inzolia is macerated for 2-3 weeks, Zibibbo for 6 weeks with daily, gentle punching down during the 7-10 days of fermentation.
Once the fermentation if finished the wines are then blended together and left on fine lees for about 3 months before bottling.
A highly versatile wine, it can only be consumed as an aperitif and is perfect in combination with fish dishes with oriental scents and pasta.

The Lady of Charmat is a multi-vintage sparkling brut rosé made from grapes grown at Off The Line vineyard. The fruit was whole-bunched pressed and aged in stainless steel tanks with a secondary fermentation taking place in a tank, a method known as ‘the Charmat method’.
This vivid pink, dry sparkling rosé is easy drinking and fruit driven. It has definition, character and expresses red fruit flavours with character and identity.
Pale lemon in colour, this Sauvignon combines aromas of fresh grapefruit and lime, followed by gooseberry and melon on the palate. All creating a crisp lively finish.

VEGETARIAN...VEGAN..
A classicstyle of Sauternes. A perfect way to finish a meal. A nose of citurs fruits with died fruit on the palate. Both rich and smooth in the mouth with a lasting sweet finish.
The island of Pantelleria is a curious, rugged volcanic outcrop, situated halfway between the Tunisian and Sicilian coasts, and it is here, in Italy's most southerly appellation, that this Passito Liquoroso is made. It's rather amazing, we think, that this beautiful, rich, baked apricot and marmalade-y dessert wine is made roughly 40 miles off the coast of Africa. But, being an island in a rather windy spot, it gets enough cooling maritime influence to balance the searing sun, resulting in a nuanced, balanced, but still brilliantly swarthy wine.
A beautiful amber colour with a prominent nose of apricot jam. The palate is rich and ripe with sweet velvety texture and flavours of dried fruits, apricots, figs, raisins. The finish has a lick of citrus to keep it fresh.
Deep ruby in the glass, this cabernetSauvignon commands attention from the moment it is poured. Rich, luscious scents of sweet berry fruits entice the nose, opening to wisps of cola, licorice and spice. An intense core of ripe blackberry and boysenberry greets the palate, giving way to notes of cassis, vanilla and earth. Firm tannins and food-friendly acidity balance the plush fruit, leading to a long, pleasant finish.
The intense character and complex nature of this Cabernet Sauvignon is a strong partner for meat dishes such as beef stew and roasted venison. Try it also with a flavourful starter, such as gorgonzola and walnuts, or a simple dessert, like espresso gelato.
La Matcha combines the sweetness of molasses alcohol with the herbal notes of Matcha tea grown in Uji. Traditional Osaka sake adds a touch of originality to this Japanese spirit. Matcha is an excellent mixer that can transform any classic cocktail into an innovative new drink!
This beautiful salmon-pink Provence rosé has a very pretty scent of crushed strawberries, peach, rose-water and orange blossom. On the palate, it is wonderfully dry and crisp with delicate summer berry fruits balanced by citrus zest acidity and a deliciously creamy finish. A fabulously sophisticated rosé that is perfect for summer picnics or evening aperitif.
Aromas of leather and forest floor greet the nose and are enhanced by dark cherry, plum and vanilla oak. The palate has elegant fine-grained tannins and an incredible texture that supports a lovely earthy, truffle-like complexity. A perfect balance of fruit and oak in a complex, weighty style.
A Mauritian wine made from lychees, Divine has been a huge hit in its home country since it was released – a great alternative to Gewürztraminer, this will pair well with spicy food.
