1 x Coriole Dancing Fig McLaren Vale MGS 2024 (Australia)

With a ruby red hue in the glass, this medium-bodied red is driven by lifted fruit notes and Mataro’s floral tones. The nose offers up spiced cherry, rose petal, vanilla, white pepper, and black tea. The palate is bright and moreish; soft, generous forest fruits - boysenberry, wild strawberry - across a generous, plush mid palate with fine tannins. This is a beautiful, textural red with great length and balanced acid.

1 x CENTRAL Central Otago Pinot Noir 2024

Awarded 94/100 Points & 5 Stars: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Awarded 92/100 Points: Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

"Pristine and elegantly expressed, the bouquet shows Black Doris plum, sweet cherry, floral, warm spice, and toasted almond notes, followed by a silky-smooth palate that's beautifully rounded and flowing. Splendidly structured by polished tannins, making it harmonious and persistent. At its best: now to 2032" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"A mix of dark berries and Doris plum, layers of fruit and wood spice with a touch of smoke and clove. Dry, taut, varietal, Black currant, dark cherry, some mineral and earth-stone. Well made, firm youthful tannins, plenty of polish, there’s a distinctive backbone of acidity adding power and length on the palate. Ready to drink from late 2026 through 2031+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Sep 2025

A beautifully aromatic Pinot Noir with bergamot, bay leaf, fresh plum and cinnamon notes, and a firm yet elegant structure.
