    2019 ‘Woof Woof Red’

    Cellar door $25.00 Members $25.00 Sale $16.00
    This is a ripper! Made by a top-notch winemaker, using Hunter grapes, it's a lovely light, bright and fragrant wine, and it's soooo good chilled. Great at bbqs, around the pool, or with pizza; in cooler months, serve at room temperature to accompany pastas, soups and stews. And remember, a portion of the profit from each bottle of Woof Woof wines sold goes to a range of Aussie animal rescue groups.

    Cellar door $60.00 Sale $45.00

    2014 Shiraz

    Cellar door $90.00 Members $75.00 Sale $65.00
    With 6 medals (including a Top Gold Medal) and 2 trophies – need we say more! Deep cherry red in colour, this wine has complex aromas of plum, aniseed, spice and flint. The palate is medium-bodied with blackberry fruit flavours and an interesting note of menthol, finishing with soft and drying tannins.

    Cellar door $60.00 Sale $50.00

    Cellar door $30.00 Members $25.00 Sale $20.00
    Yeah baby, this vintage is a winner! For an extra hit of delish we blended in a hint of Semillon to give us a Sophie like never before: rich, ripe pineapple, lime and passionfruit flavours, with notes of honeycomb emerging.
