Delamere Non Vintage Cuvée N.V.Made in the traditional method, each disgorgement spends over two years on lees before release, resulting in a beautiful balance of freshness, creaminess and complexity that you rarely find at this price point. Delamere owners Fran and Shane are deeply passionate about sparkling wines. To undertake this process is quite time/labour and financially intensive.

Hickinbotham Brooks Road Shiraz 2020The growing season was affected by a very hot spring, leading to the lowest yields on our record. When the grapes started their ripening process in January, the weather miraculously cooled to a very mild ripening season. This resulted in wonderful concentration of flavour, retention of natural acidity and brightness of fruit, delivering wines with beautiful finesse and balanced tannins. The Brooks Road Shiraz shows lifted perfume and fragrance with forw...

The nose displays aromas of citrus fruit, apricot kernel, and white peach with spicy integrated oak, whilst the palate is fine and minerally.

Grange is decadently rich with layer upon layer of flavor that coats the tongue and generously lingers minutes after swallowing. Abundant aromas leap from a glass of Grange and defy the typical adjectives used by wine tasters. These are hedonistic aromas of rich, ripe fruits and spice, yet with an 'otherness' of which wine tasters speak of in hushed tones. Grange blossoms wit...

To begin with the palate is tight and focused with citrus and fennel spice dominating. This gives way to nougat, stone fruit hints with leesy complexity and the acidity of crunchy green apple. Although drinking wonderfully now this will reward those with the patience to cellar or for that ma...

Fresh, zesty lemon/lime and grapefruit with a spicy herbaceous pepper element and a pop of acidity.
