There are a lot of amazing wines online right now. It's hard to choose. So we've done the hard work for you. Here's six of our favourite wines on the site – we've given you a bit of everything: a fizzy, white, rosé, orange and two reds!
Lini 910 - NV Lambrusco Rosso IGT ‘Lambrusca’
A true Lambrusco, made from local, ancient varieties. Gentle spritz, inky purple hues spilling out with subtle foam. Blackberries, mulberries, plums and black licorice. Dry and aperitif friendly. The Lini family have been making Lambrusco in Emilia Romanga since 1910. Most families in the region making the good stuff have been doing it for generations. - Trembath & Taylor, Importer.
I'll Fly Away - 2023 Chardonnay
Wilson Estate, Pokolbin, Hunter Valley, hand picked, whole bunch pressed, wild barrel fermented, 12 months full lees, racked to bottle, unlined and unfiltered. - Tim Ward, Winemaker.
Motherblock - 2023 Skin Contact Wine
Aptly named ‘Mother Block’ these wines come from our site at Chalmers Merbein Vineyard, the heart of all that we do. As well as it being the location of our family home and business, this unique and diverse vineyard is the adopted home to each variety that we’ve imported to Australia over the last 20 years. It is also the source block for supplying millions of vines planted across Australia through our vine nursery, hence the name. Mother Block Skin Contact is a white wine made like a red wine, based on Italian varieties Vermentino, Ansonica, Falanghina, Pecorino and Moscato Giallo. The grapes are destemmed and co-fermented on wild yeasts at cool temperatures with full solids and skins. Pressed and aged in tank on fine lees for 6 months. A kaleidoscope of lemon and lime, coconut husk, Vietnamese mint, fresh and zesty, you’ll want to be sitting on a dessert island drinking this wine. The palate shows all that skinsy phenolic grippy pulp and texture with soft herbs, melon, a little bitter twang that leads into zippy refreshing acidity that’s salivating and moreish. - Chalmers Wine, Winemaker.
Latta Vino - 2023 What-A-Melon
Experimental Batches make up this wine each year, fun to make fun to drink. The big feature here is Syrah from the Saddle Back vineyard grown organically by Cory Hope in the Pyrenees harvested once flavour hits the full ripeness required, Sangiovese component is grown by the Camfield’s in Moonambel Pyrenees, Nebbiolo grown by the John Family in Landsborough Pyrenees & finally Pinot Noir grown by us at home base in Coghills Creek. All batches were all whole bunch pressed fermented on full solids & left to rest on full lees for 11 months, blended then domaine bottled once ready. - Owen Latta, Winemaker.
Syrahmi - 2023 Demi Syrah
Herbs and bay leaves on the nose. The palate is bursting with fruit – plum, blackberry, blackcurrent and spiced fruits. Peppery and juicy. Deep ruby purple in the glass. The 2023 Demi by Syrahmi is a blend of three vineyards from the Heathcote region. Kennedy’s, Carl Brown, & Cavalry all make up the blend with a typical high percentage of whole bunch (+60%). Wild yeast fermentation and malolactic fermentation. Open fermenter, foot & hand plunging with minimal pump overs. Matured in new and seasoned French oak for 12 months and a further 3 months in stainless steel before bottling. - Adam Foster, Winemaker.
Giovanni Armani Giorgio - 2023 Rosso Del Giorno
Ebenezer and Vine Vale DOCGs. Aged in large format oak, and some time in tank to keep things Swiss-Italian. Merlot is back like il diavolo Berlusconi and makes things più morbido, più rotonda, più sontuosa. 89% Sangiovese, 11% Merlot. An enthusiastic, vibrant and devoutly Catholic red wine for drinking with il diavolo and pepperoni pizza (Dominos probably) in bed. Cherries, plums, cigar box spice and dry tannin. - Giovanni Armani Giorgio
