One of the best kept secrets in Australia. Galway Pipe was named after the governor of South Australia from 1914-1920, Sir Henry Galway. He would visit the winery and select the finest 'pipes' (500 Litre barrels) of Grand Tawny. This Grand Tawny is aged in oak barrels for an average of 12 years, and is an exquisite and rich blend of character filled varieties. Notes of dark dried fruit, raisins, dried pears, grilled nuts and spicy, toasty oak. Sweetness and acidity perfectly balanced.

Mt Difficulty is a boutique winery located in Bannockburn, Central Otago, and was named after the mountain overlooking Felton road and the southern Cromwell basin. As the vineyards are ageing Mt Difficulty are starting to see additional complexity emerging each vintage. Inviting and opulent, the palate is flush with sweet cherry & blueberry, followed by trademark earth & savoury notes and framed by baking spice and fine grained French Oak. The fruit floods through to the finish with a juicy balance, indicating acidity that will keep the wine aging well.

Ripe hand picked fruit, gentle winemaking and maturation in French oak have resulted in a complex and powerful wine. It has a perfumed nose of darks fruits, violets and liquorice with a hint of spice. Ripe berry, plum, cherry and chocolate show on the palate with a long sweet fruit finish. A great example of one of the best Central Otago Pinot Noirs. Drinking fantastically well now and will develop and cellar for several years.

The Valhalla has a wealth of ripe aromas; nectarine and grapefruit with complex layers of baking bread, cashew and flinty reductive elements. Rich and fulsome on the palate, with a spine of acidity harmoniously interwoven with richness and a ripe citrus finish.

A dark ruby coloured wine with aromas of rich dark berries, Christmas cake and cigar box. The wine is rich in the mouth and flows onto a succulent finish with pleasantly structured tannins.

The palate texture is suggestive of cocoa powder while being framed by just enough savoury oak to add structure without dominating. Leading with black fruit characters, it progresses with dark plum and hints of gamey richness (roasted venison). Baking spice notes and a delicate icing sugar dusting add nuance without tipping into overt sweetness. Lively acidity carries through from start to finish, perfectly accompanied by fine structural tannins that contribute to an enduring balance. Despite its depth and layers, it carries itself with typical Bin 28 ease; its complexity is apparent yet approachable.

Cable Bay Vineyards is dedicated to producing handcrafted wines known for their elegance and depth. Taking an Old World approach and combining it with New World techniques, Cable Bay's vibrant wines are beautifully expressive of the sites upon which they were grown. This Syrah is made from grapes grown on naturally low yielding vines. It displays fragrant blue floral aromas and dark berries, and has much less black pepper notes than its Hawkes Bay counterparts. On the palate it is opulent and velvety in texture, full of seduction and is well poised, showing hints of rhubarb, dark cherry and cocoa beans. This wine is both intense and delicate with great concentration.

The Landing Port is richly fruited and seriously complex, the aroma rewards with dried cherry, apricot, toffee and roasted nut characters. The palate is wonderfully rich, backed by silky-sweet texture and rounded mouthfeel. A soothing fortified wine.

Dark red, purple hues. Amazing dark berry fruit in the raspberry black currant spectrum. The spice notes of Syrah are to the fore in this wine with a white pepper and Chinese five spice. As is Askerne's style, the fruit was aged in oak to accentuate the savoury notes and introduce aromas of vanilla and toast. The palate is especially vibrant with a line of acidity knitting the fleshiness and structural components together. Excellent concentration and vibrancy with a long finish.

An amalgamation of stunning fruit, stylish oak and layers of integrated texture. Ripe blackberries, blackcurrants and cigar meld with juicy black doris plum. A superbly weighted palate framed by chocolatey tannins and great length. A velvet revolver designed for superior concealment.

Vibrant and youthful ruby red. An abundance of pretty, floral notes, very enticing with rose and violet aromas. A deep and complex core of ripe cherry, classy oak and savoury earth at the heart of it all. This wine is certainly not hiding its light under a bushel! The palate is very precise and poised. An abundance of ripe, plush flavours and tannins all delivered with an elegance that really belies the serious power of this wine. Match with roast game fowl served with polenta and spiced beetroot & walnut salad.
