12.5% | DRY | MEDIUM BODY
The Riverland region in South Australia surrounds the long and winding Murray River. The vital water source contributes to fertile soils and allows for irrigation in the intense dry heat. The Continental climate and long sunny days make for vibrant, fully ripened grapes.

PETIT VERDOT PETITE SIRAH

14% | DRY | FULL BODY | MED-HEAVY OAK
Sitting in the middle of California’s Central Valley, Lodi sees warm days and cool nights and benefits from the breezes blowing inland from the Bay area. This climate helps lend grapes a refreshing natural acidity, while the rich, sandy soils and dry growing season promote more concentrated flavours.
FOOD PAIRINGS:
• Peppercorn crusted beef tenderloin
• Grilled portobello mushrooms
• Sharp cheddar
BESITO
AVAILABLE: MARCH 2025
MANCHUELA, SPAIN
$185
Besito, Spanish for “little kiss”, is a vibrant blend of Macabeo and Moscatel (Muscat) with a little kiss of sweetness. Enticing citrus and white blossom aromas introduce a peachy palate woven with tropical fruit and citrus flavours. Subtle notes of honeysuckle and lemon zest round out this smooth and succulent wine.
12.5% | OFF-DRY | MEDIUM BODY
Manchuela is an inland region with a continental climate, but vineyards here are 600-1000m above sea level; the altitude has a cooling effect and combines with fresh Mediterranean winds to moderate the hot summer days. This helps slow ripening, resulting in white grapes that produce fresh, fruity wines with good acidity.
FOOD PAIRINGS:
• Chicken enchiladas
• Lemon butter grilled shrimp • Szechuan stir-fry
FOURTITUDE
