Falstaff "Brilliant pale straw yellow with persistent mousse. Freshly cut pear, banana, white peach and floral on the nose. The palate is carried by a delicate texture, appealing acidity underpinned by fine bubbles, juicy finish."

Tom Cannavan "This blingy Prosecco comes in a metallic gold bottle, I have to say the wine inside is a very nice, dry expression of a vintage-dated Prosecco. Extremely pale in colour, the mousse is foamy and fresh and the aromas are very summery: crisp pears and apples. In the mouth it is light and refreshing, with very good, crisp lemony acidity and a decent length too

Winemaker "Soft, harmonious and elegant, with a slim body and with lively yet balanced acidity."

100% Glera
Alcohol: 11%

Bottega alcohol brand, is a Family Vintners & Master Distillers from Italy. Bottega brand is a result of the work of three generations involved in the world of wine and grappa. Domenico Bottega was a wine trader and passionate oenologist (an expert in the arts and techniques of wine). Domenico’s son, Aldo Bottega expanded his father’s passion to grappa and together with his wife Rosina, founded the Bottega Distillery in Pianzano di Godega. After the founder of Bottega Distillery died, his son Sandro became the company director and with the support of his sister Barbara and brother Stefano, they took over the company. In a few years, the Distillery started to gain recognition thanks to their innovative distillation system and to be able to reduce the alcohol content in grappa to make it softer and more delicate to the mouth.

The premises are located in a large, 19th Century farmstead, refurbished according to state-of-the art criteria of environmental friendliness, and surrounded by 10 hectares of vineyards. The whole ground, at the heart of an area with a high density of water veins, is rich in water all year around. The area, especially suited for growing vines, lies halfway between Venice, the capital of art and culture, and the Dolomites, wonderful mountains that can be clearly seen in sunny days. With the goal of producing and distributing the best Italian wine, grappa, spirits, and food all over the world.

Bottega Gold is a Prosecco DOC, obtained by the vinification of Glera Grapes. The cultivation area of Glera grapes is located in the hilly area of the province of Treviso up to the slopes of Valdobbiandene, which is close to the Venetian Prealps. The hilly terrain is subject to high temperature ranges between day and night. This variation in temperature enables the development of finer, more elegant and at the same time more intense aromas.

1 x Corymbia Tempranillo Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon (Organic) 2016 - Swan Valley, Western Australia

95/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
92/100 Wine Advocate

Organic

Mike Bernie (The Wine Front) "It is pitch-perfect, medium weight, highly perfumed, and shaped with beautifully ripe tannins. It’s delicious, but there is also a sense of detail and interest. The wine offers layers of red and blue fruits in perfume and palate, underpinned by savouriness."

Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate) "...it's a fruit-forward, mouthwatering bowl of mixed berries, including hints of blueberry, mulberry and raspberry. Yet while this medium to the full-bodied effort is open and soft, it's not unstructured, showing a core of resilient, ripe tannins and a long, juicy finish."

The Winemaker "A beautifully expressive aroma of Satsuma plums, black olives, rosewater and with a hint of aniseed. The wine tastes fresh and lively of pomegranate, cocoa, maraschino cherries and is complimented by Tempranillo’s characteristic coal dust tannin structure."

Gourmet Traveller Wine "The wines under the Corymbia label have been outstanding."

58% Tempranillo, 30% Malbec and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon

Gourmet Traveller Wine "Corymbia is one of the most exciting wine projects to emerge from Western Australia in a decade. The combination of a distinguished winemaking family, the reinvention of a much-maligned wine region, the unlocking of the potential of a mature vineyard and a general sense of creativity, have all contributed to a strong currency.

Organic wines are made from grapes grown without pesticides, following strict organic standards. Organic wines are produced in vineyards that do not use synthetic chemicals.Certified organic wines have been certified by Australian Certified Organic Standard (ACOS). 

Corymbia is the newish project of Rob and Genevieve Mann. The Mann family, of course, are generational wine producers in WA, with a history of iconic wines and vineyards. Rob, formerly working with Hardys, Cape Mentelle and Newton Vineyard in Napa Valley, has returned home and made a mark.

The family vineyard in Swan Valley is dry grown and organically farmed. While winemaking draws on the Manns’ suite of expertise and diversity of influences, it has been pared back for Corymbia, letting the fruit and character of the wines take the spotlight.

That Swan Valley has been put on a pedestal is wonderful, and a celebration of older vineyards, unique soil profile and a general sense of generational endeavor is exciting for the region. There’s an undercurrent of winemakers amplifying the region’s potential, but arguably Corymbia is the current totem."

Huon Hooke "The Mann family are winemaking royalty in Western Australia."

Corymbia is a new winery launched by one of the founding families of Western Australian wine. The Manns have grown grapes and made wine in the Swan Valley, Western Australia's oldest wine-growing region for over a century. Corymbia wines are critically acclaimed, organically-farmed, single-vineyard wines. Founder, Rob Mann is considered one of Australia's best contemporary winemakers. He was the senior winemaker at Hardy’s Tintara, and Cape Mentelle, where during his ten-year tenure the winery was twice awarded 'Australia's Producer of the Year' and Rob 'Australian Winemaker of the Year'. Prior to founding Corymbia he was Senior Winemaker at LVMH’s Newton Vineyard in the Napa Valley.

Swan Valley is a sub-region of the Swan District wine region just north of Perth, in Western Australia. The Swan District is Western Australia’s oldest wine region, having been planted by English settlers soon after their arrival in 1829. For almost 150 years it was the only significant wine-producing region in Western Australia and today it's also home to the state's largest winery. Some of Western Australia's finest wines are produced in the Swan Valley.

1 x Patrick of Coonawarra Two Blocks Shiraz 2016 ~ Coonawarra, South Australia

91/100 Huon Hooke, The Real Review
91/100 Qwine (2017 vintage)
90/100 James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion (2017 vintage)

Huon Hooke, The Real Review "Deep bright purple-red colour, young for its age, and the bouquet is chocolaty, toasty and oak-touched, the palate likewise medium to full bodied and showing good depth of flavour for the price, good concentration and length of palate. Ample chewy tannins. It has plenty of years left in it. "

The Winemaker “This shiraz is full bodied with a mix of bold plum flavour and a hint of pepper spice. The aromas of fruitcake and violet lead to a well balanced and complex palate. The chocolate oak finishes the wine with a smooth vanilla lift.”

Patrick of Coonawarra was founded by Patrick Tocaciu; one of Australia's leading wine (and AFL football) figures. Patrick's reputation for producing exceptional wine earned him many international accolades for the major labels he worked as Chief Winemaker, including; Tollana, Penfolds, and Hollick Wines. Patrick's distinguished reputation continued with the establishment of his own Patrick of Coonawarra Estate label. The Estate is now managed by his son, Luke who continues the tradition of producing wines of varietal and regional excellence.

Coonawarra is the most important wine region within the Limestone Coast zone of South Australia, credited with producing some of the best red wines in the entire country, and often described as Australia's most famous terroir. It is located in the far south-east of the state, adjoining the border with Victoria south of Wrattonbully.

Shiraz is the name given to the dark-skinned Syrah grape when grown in Australia and selected pockets of the New World. Though genetically identical, the stylistic differences between Shiraz and Syrah are usually pronounced. Shiraz is so important to Australian viticulture that it is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards and has become virtually synonymous with the country's wine regions, particularly the Barossa Valley.

James Suckling "The bouquet of summer flowers, Mediterranean herbs, ripe blackberries and leather makes this stand out in the context of the rather challenging 2021 vintage. Good depth, rather supple tannins for this appellation and the smooth finish make this really satisfying. From organically grown grapes." (2021 vintage)

Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate "A solid value, the 2021 Cotes du Rhone Villages is based on Grenache and Mourvèdre from near Jonquières and Syrah from the vicinity of the chateau. Offering up pretty floral shadings, strawberries, raspberries and a hint of tree bark, this easy-drinking beauty is medium-bodied, supple and silky, marked by elegant notions of red berries on the finish." (2021 vintage)

James Suckling "Perfumed nose of sweet strawberries, ripe plums, lavender, thyme, olives and bacon. Full-bodied with soft tannins and a creamy and fruity palate. From organically grown grapes." (2020 vintage)

Anna Lee C. Iijima, Wine Enthusiast "A vein of graphite extends from nose to finish in this plump, blueberry-scented blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Fresh black-plum and cherry flavors are ripe but pure, lifted by hints of blossomy perfume and a lingering crush of minerality on the finish." (2019 vintage)

James Suckling "A red with dried-meat, light bacon and ripe-plum character. It’s medium-to full-bodied with creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes." (2019 vintage)

The history of Château Maucoil began several centuries ago. Ancient documents state that its first occupants were Romans who set up a base for Caesar’s legions. Later, Joseph de La Pise, Lord of Maucoil and archivist of the House of Orange-Nassau, the Dutch royal family, inherited the estate and the castle which was built in 1624. From then on, winegrowing became an intrinsic part of the history of Château Maucoil.

The 45 hectares of vines in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation have been organic agriculture since 2011. Château Maucoil uses ancient methods such as furrowing, forming mounds and ploughing to tend the vineyard.

Originally from Bordeaux, the Lavau family who now own Château Maucoil, have been involved with winemaking for generations, and have had vineyards ranging from Bordeaux to Tunisia. In 1964 they were seduced by the richness and quality of the Provencal soil and settled down to make wine in the Rhone Valley.

1 x Domaine Blanc Lenoir Macon-Villages Blanc 2022 - Burgundy, France

Bronze - Wine Enthusiast (2013 vintage)
Bronze - Wine & Spirit Magazine (2010 vintage)

Wine Enthusiast "Tight, crisp and fruity, this is a refreshing and bright wine. Lively acidity cuts right through the lightly mineral texture. Full of fruit, fresh and lively." (2013 vintage)

Winemaker "A brilliant pale gold colour with green tints. Intense white blossom aromas delicately enhanced by hints of lemon. The palate confirms this delightful bouquet, offering a whole range of fruit and floral aromas. Superbly full-bodied. A seductive wine."

100% Chardonnay

The LENOIR family has been making wine, father and son, for more than five generations. The Domain is located in Saint Maurice de Satonnay (13 km north of Mâcon), and well-known for the high quality of its Mâcon-Villages. Part of the typically Mâcon-style home was built at least 300 years ago.

Chardonnay is one of the world’s most popular grapes, Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from lean, to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak. Bolder, richer, full-bodied and buttery Chardonnays are made using oak and are produced in California, Burgundy, and Australia. Unoaked chardonnays such as Chablis and those produced in Chile, New Zealand, and other parts of France are leaner and often crisp and mineraly, with delicate flavors. By law, if a label says “Chablis,” it must be Chardonnay.

James Halliday Five Star Rating (2016 vintage)
Handcrafted, micro-winery (2016 vintage)

Campbell Mattinson "Yarra Valley Chablis, if you like. Or that kind of style, anyway. Sweet pear, juicy green and red apple, nectarine, an element of honeysuckle and a light clip of cedarwood. Textbook in its loveliness. There’s an aspect of tart acidity here but it works in context and anyways, in time, the wine as a whole will shine all the more ".

Philip Rich "A vibrant green gold. Nectarines and citrus aromas intermingled with some matchstick and almonds. A savoury wine with good freshness and crunch" (2020 vintage)

Jeni Port "Nice emotion. Introduction of dusty oak and lemon sherbet, green apple. On the leaner side of chardonnay with pronounced lemony acidity, taut and taste of cold steel. Concentrated and yet to do a full reveal." (2019 vintage)

James Halliday "A soften than usual framework for '17, white flesh stone fruit and melon combine with subtle oak, the acidity providing a path to follow in dreams." (2017 vintage)

Toni Paterson "A delicious wine with good balance and flavour. It has a core of composed grapefruit and fresh pear, plus refreshing integrated acidity. There is impressive detail in the form of oatmeal and clotted cream. I like the palate softness and overall roundness of the wine. Well-made, well-balanced and satisfying" (2017 vintage)

Huon Hooke "Light, bright yellow hue, with a fresh herb, lemon and citrus aroma, laced with subtle hints of oak, yeast lees and sulfides.The wine is fresh and light, but has good intensity and purity of fruit. Soft, svelte and sleek." (2017 vintage)

Campbell Mattinson "Lots going on and the volume to carry it. Wood smoke, preserved lemons, nougat, and roasted nuts, a gun smoke character too. Pears, tinned. Oatmeal. It's lively, expressive and textural, the finish satisfying. Nothing at all wimpy; it's a mouthful of flavour." (2016 vintage)

Swiss born head winemaker, Nina Stocker is the daughter of eminent wine scientist Dr John Stocker. Nina was born and raised in a small town on the border of the Alsace wine region in Switzerland and it was her family’s involvement in the local village vineyard which paved the way for her future career as a Winemaker.

Nina has worked vintages in McLaren Vale, Yarra Valley, Barolo (Italy), Rhone Valley (France), Alentejo (Portugal), and New Zealand.

In Dreams have won medals for both their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In Dreams source their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from three low yielding, premium quality vineyards. The vineyards are predominantly from the upper Yarra Valley due to the cooler micro climate that helps them capture the elegance and finesse of this noble variety.

In Dreams are focused on allowing the vineyards to express themselves in the resulting wines using traditional winemaking techniques such as small batch fermentation, wild yeast and the delicate use of French oak.
