Chapman Grove

Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2016 Gold Medal
​

Gold medal winning wine has intense aromas of tropical fruit on the nose followed by a tight combination of juicy fruit and minerality on the palate. It is mouth filling with plenty of textural layers and lively acidity. This is a very well structured wine.

Even the most one eyed Marlborough NZ fan will think about switching to this Chapman Grove.

The result is a premium grappa with dark caramel colour and intense yet well-balanced aromas with strong, fruity notes and subtler hints of vanilla, cocoa and honey. Smooth with a decisively lingering finish.

Piattelli (Argentina)
One Brand & Two Wineries in the 2 Best Regions

There is a distinct terroir and climate for each - the Mendoza and Cafayate region. Both have the best grape growing regions in all of Argentina, and Piattelli wanted to showcase them.

CAFAYATE
You can primarily find Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat, Cabernet Franc and Torrontés in the Cafayate region. Their winery is headed by Alejandro Nesman and is a site to behold. It is an architectural masterpiece that produces some of the best wines in the region. The Cafayate winery opened in 2012 and has quickly become one of the top wineries and tourist destinations in Salta. The valley is ideal for grapevine cultivation and their winery is one of the only gravity-flow watered ones  in Argentina. 

MENDOZA
Opened in 2002, The Mendoza Winery is headed by Valeria Antolin, who is the heart of Piattelli operations. It is located in the foothills of the Andes Mountains as the vineyards rely on its snow-crested peaks to provide irrigation, a significant aspect of what makes their wines exquisite.  The winery has 40,000 case capacity and is the production hub for the majority of Piattelli's varietals. These vineyards are located in Agrelo - Lujan de Cuyo, Mendoza and Valle de Uco. There is no need for pesticides as the area is pest-free due to naturally low-humidity and high altitudes - making Mendoza USDA certified organic.

La Riserva di Ivan
Introducing our First Italian Vodka in Australia

Иван: Ivan III, also known as 'Ivan The Great' Russian Emperor in 1474, was eager to complete the Dormition Cathedral in Moscow. So he reached out via the Russian Embassy in Rome for a renounced architect.

The then appointed Fioravanti had done such an amazing job, that the Emperor Ivan III given him some cases of his private reserve vodka. Inspired by this legend we've crafted a distilled spirit, with an ambitious character and no compromises like Emperor Ivan’s persona.

Kapriol by Distilleria dell'Alpe
Craft Italian Gins from Italy


Ferruccio de Bernard established his Distilleria dell’Alpe in 1948 in Bastia d’Alpago, a small hillside village in the sweeping Cansiglio forest of the Italian Oriental Alps.

Among his new recipes Ferruccio has patented an enigmatic drink, Kapriol liqueur, commonly known as “Distillato del Bosco” (Distillate of the Forest). This herbal liqueur is produced in the same location as the juniper berries are collected, and infused with herbs and sugar using a long and complex distillation process.

In 2002 Beniamino Maschio took over Distilleria dell’Alpe with the intention of developing a variety of liqueurs typical of the Venetian traditions, including the original Kapriol Classico liqueur from 1948.

Repour Winesaver
Save and Preserve Your Favorite Wines

​

Need an alternative to Coravin? Here is a much more cost- and time efficient solution to keep your wines from oxidization.

The Repour stopper is the easiest, most effective wine preserver there is. Invented and developed by Chemist and Founder Tom Lutz, Repour is the first of its kind to actively and continuously preserve original aroma and taste by eliminating ALL of the oxygen from your wine. No oxygen means your wine doesn’t degrade.

​Instead of throwing out a bottle of wine that has gone bad, or messing with complex and ineffective vacuums, pumps, cartridges, batteries, and other contraptions, simply insert the Repour wine stopper in place of the bottle’s original cork, and preserve the wine for the life of the opened bottle. Your favorite wine, simply saved and perfectly preserved. Enjoy every glass.

Wine Window
​Your Window to Excellent German Wines

​

​​When Friends become family, become partners… These amazing guys are born and bred where Marko – the owner of Global Fine Wines was made. Their story is a simple one of two friends living in Mainz, one of the Great Wine Capitals, with a passion for outstanding German wine. When Elsa migrated to Australia it did not take long to realize that access to affordable, yet high-quality German wine was rather limited.

Inevitably they had to find a way to change this and ensure that supply was made available. They teamed up with young promising wine makers to create their own wine allowing them to offer a piece of German culture to Australia.

A. Bergere Champagnes
SCORE with Wine Spectator
91 Points !


The October 2015 Edition of Wine Spectator  has scored both of our A.Bergere Champagnes 91 points.  A great score and higher than some Champagne benchmarks such as Pol Roger.  Then of course this is a small family grower champagne that provides Grand Cru grapes for the likes of Moet et Chandon, Veuve Cliquot and Roeder - so no surprise perhaps.  Add the dimension of small grower champagne and you can expect delightful 'point of difference' flavours that you just can't score.  But you will enjoy - big time.  Check out the A. Bergere champagnes here.  Well worth the browse - even better - try them.  
Note: They're imported in refrigerated containers to keep them in perfect condition.  You can't say that for many of the mass produced products out there.

STONECROFT TAKES OUT THE BIG POINTS 
IN GOURMET TRAVELLER WINE
 APRIL / MAY 2015 EDITION
23/4/2015


​Stonecroft's Hawke's Bay, NZ wines have blitzed the latest Gourmet Traveller WINE magazine (Apr/May edition 2015) scoring points from Bob Campbell of up to 98 for their top Syrah.  

Stonecroft  Gimblett Gravels Reserve Syrah 2013 - Hawke's Bay NZ - 98 Points
98 Points is Highest Bob Campbell Score ever for Hawke's Bay Syrah (Shiraz):  "Deep, dense, ripe Syrah that’s jam-packed with dried fruits/Christmas cake, spice/black pepper/anise, liquorice, and dark chocolate flavours. Firmly structured red with impressive cellaring potential. This is a very serious Syrah indeed from a great site, old vines and an outstanding vintage."

Stonecroft Gimblett Gravels Ruhanui Merlot Cabernet 2013 - Hawke's Bay NZ - 94 Points
Lucky to get some this year.  2013 was an outstanding vintage.  Dense black fruit flavours, particularly blackcurrant and blackberry.  Fine grained tannins and a very long finish. A vibrant nose with blackcurrant, black berry, casis, cinnamon and black olive.  Hints of Bordeaux, but of course 100% Gimblett Gravels.  “A dense, rip blend of 60% Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark berry, plum, chocolate and spice flavours underpinned by fine, ripe tannins. Attractive wine that promises to age well.”

Stonecroft Gimblett Gravels Zinfandel 2013, Hawke's Bay NZ - 94 Points
This is a fabulous red by any standard.  Probably the only Zin' to leave the NZ shores, and it's a beauty declared by Dermott (winemaker) best he has ever made.  Ripe fruit flavours including boysenberry, black cherry and loganberry. A deep ruby red colour, silky tannins add to a very long smooth finish. "Dense, ripe Zinfandel with classic cranberry/dark berry, spice and liquorice flavours plus a seasoning of spice/anise and a solid influence of American oak. A tad closed and hard to read at this stage but with obvious cellaring potential. The best local Zinfandel I’ve yet tasted. "
