Five Geese, ‘La Volpe’, Nero d’Avola, 2014

Sue Trott's geese have been known to fluctuate in numbers becoming victim to marauding foxes. I am not sure the geese will be too happy to discover that Sue has named her latest wine 'La Volpe' (meaning fox)!

Italian varieties do well on Australia and this wine is no exception under the safe hands of Sue Trott.

The colour is brilliant cherry and the nose has a savoury bouquet, perfumed with cherry, quince paste, and very subtle smoky oak complexity.
The palate is elegant, medium bodied, with a good line of acidity and a clean finish. Lingering ripe cherry flavour balanced by distinct but gentle tannins.
10 months in French oak barrels | Portion whole bunch fermentation

With its bold fruit flavours, present tannin and natural acidity, Nero d’Avola is a great wine to match with rich meats. Some classic pairings include a good ol' beef stew, but you could easily swap this for a juicy burger. The gamier the meat the better because it will simply make your wine taste more fruity. There is a natural spiciness to the wine so do not dismiss spicier food. This would be heaven with crispy duck and plum sauce. Vegetarians need not miss out, puy lentils can hold their weight with Nero d'Avola.

  • Claymore ‘Nirvana’ Reserve Shiraz, 2017

    Add to cart
    £29.95

    This is the icon of legendary Claymore wines portfolio. You will never view a Shiraz in the same way.

    This is a wine of elegance, finely structured and delicately balanced. Big juicy fruits are balanced by savoury, spicy elements in the mouth. Lusciously rich plums, blackberries and liquorice are wrapped in gently charry oak brought into line with crisp acidity.

  • Maxwell, Ellen Street Shiraz, 2012

    Add to cart
    £23.95

    COLOUR AND NOSE

    The colour of cherry red. This wine shows aromas of coffee and vanilla bean, violets, glacé fruits and cherries.

    PALATE

    Flavours of plum, chocolate, and blackberry are immediate in the first sip. This Shiraz shows clean minerality from the limestone sub soils and rich earthy characters through the middle palate offering intense concentration of fruit with soft velvety tannin to complete this wine.

    CELLARING POTENTIAL

    Given satisfactory cellaring conditions, it is expected this wine will drink particularly well at 6 to 8 years of age.

    Claymore, ‘Dark Side of the Moon’, Shiraz 2014

    Add to cart
    £16.95

    Made with selected parcels of estate grown fruit from Claymore’s Watervale and Penwortham vineyards, the 2014 Dark Side of the Moon Shiraz proves again the exceptional quality of their low yielding non-irrigated vines.

    Maturation on oak barrels complements juicy dark berry fruit in this full flavoured wine – rich and generous with a soft, lingering finish. You are invited to explore the ‘dark side’ – now or after 6+ years in the cellar.

    Suitable for vegans!
