| Description: |

The Yalumba The Menzies 1999 is a rich and intense Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. The colour is dense red with purple hues. The nose sees herbaceous characters intertwine with red currant, dark chocolate and spicy French oak. On the palate, dark cherry and liquorice flavours are balanced by fine-grained tannins. The complex structure of this wine allows a cellaring potential of 7-10 years. Grapes were hand picked and fermented in open top stainless fermenters using the Yalumba designed cap plunger to control colour and phenolic extraction prior to maturation in fine French oak. Since its inaugural vintage in 1987, "The Menzies", named after Sir Robert Menzies, politician and red wine enthusiast, has continued to grow in stature and quality. (6 x 75 cl)

Pieropan CALVARINO Soave Classico Veneto
Description: It is a brilliant, straw yellow colour with greenish hints and the delicate nose is reminiscent of almond blossoms and marzipan. Characterised by good depth of fruit on the palate this white is nicely balanced by a zingy acidity that enhances its long length. This 30-hectare estate is situated in the heart of the Soave Classico zone in the Veneto, north eastern Italy. Founded by Leonildo Pieropan in 1890 and subsequently run by his two sons, Fausto and Gustavo, it was the youthful enthusiasm of his grandson Leonildo, known as Nino, that revolutionised it. Pieropan attaches enormous importance to his vineyards as a source of the high quality fruit that characterises his wines. After taking over the estate, he acquired crus such as Pigno, Palestrello, La Santa and took pains to expand the existing vineyards of Calvarino and La Rocca. The vineyards are planted primarily with Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave. Pieropan believes that excellence derives from assiduous attention to detail 'from the moment you pick up the secateurs, to the time the cork goes into the bottle'. The results of this philosophy are evident in his immaculate winery, carefully tended vineyards and outstanding wines. Available in 1.5 Litre Magnum Bottles. (4 x 1.5 Litres)
