Wirra Wirra Church Block Cabernet, Shiraz, Merlot 2010 McLaren Vale

The late Greg Trott, winemaker at Wirra Wirra, named this wine after one of the original vineyard blocks from which the blend was made in 1972. Originally a Grenache and Shiraz blend, the wine has evolved over the years into this Cabernet-biased Aussie hybrid. This combines two of my greatest love's in wine; a big Mclaren vale red and a cabernet blend.

An aromatic nose, full of cedar, aniseed, clove and leaf notes. Bright plum, bramble and cherry fruit characterise the plush and juicy palate, supported by smooth-textured tannins.

Due the the cabernet dominance in this wine I would aim to pair this with Sesame Seared Duck served rare with a plum dressed oriental slaw.

Albarino 2010, Martin Codax

Produced in North West Spain, in the area just above the border with Portugal called Galicia, Martin Codax produces a wine from the aromatic white Albarino grape variety.

Similar to the viognier in style, this wine exudes delicate peach and floral aromas with hints of herbs and spice. On the palate it is honeyed with fresh peach and stone fruit flavours busting through, and a long finish.

Enjoy this wine either on its own as an aperitif or partnered with fine fresh seafood.

Stella Alpina Pinot Grigio 2011, Alto Adige

From the Alto Adige region in Northern Italy, this Pinot Grigio is a cut above the average.

Made from high quality fruit from some of the best sites, this is a world away from some of the neutral, everyday quaffing Pinot Grigios.

Showing a rich palate with pure and intense flavours of melon, peach and white flowers, this crisp white will match perfectly with tomato salads and white fish.
