PINOT SHIRAZ
DECEMBER 2025
$197
RIVERLAND, AUSTRALIA
13.5% | DRY | MED-FULL BODY | MEDIUM OAK
An unconventional blend of two distinctly different varietals,
masterfully balancing elegance and power. Aromas of mixed
berries, florals, and soft spice lead to flavours of sour cherry,
dark plum, red fruit, and blueberry. Light licorice and spice add
depth, with a lingering finish of silky tannins.
The hot, dry climate is ideal for producing richly textured
Shiraz with bold berry flavours. Cool nights help Pinot retain
acidity, but in this warmer climate it develops richer fruit
flavours. This makes it a better blending partner for Shiraz –
one reason Australia is one of the few countries to successfully
pair these varietals.
FOOD PAIRINGS
- Pork tenderloin with sauteed mushrooms
- Tandoori prawns
- Roasted root vegetables
RELEASE DATE: DECEMBER 2025
BLANC DE NOIR
JANUARY 2026
$189
LANGUEDOC, FRANCE
12.5% | DRY | MEDIUM BODY
A truly distinctive white wine made from black Grenache
grapes with minimal skin contact. Blanc de Noir, meaning
‘white from black’, leans toward white peach, and pink
grapefruit flavours with subtle spice. Herbaceous notes,
soft echoes of red apple and strawberry, and crisp acidity
finish out this showpiece.
Grenache enjoys ideal conditions in this coastal region,
where cooling sea breezes moderate the hot, sunny
Mediterranean climate. The most common soils are
limestone and clay, which help retain moisture in the
dry landscape. Limited rainfall and coastal winds yield
concentrated fruit, enabling expressive, innovative styles.
FOOD PAIRINGS
- Pork rillettes or cretons
- Lobster risotto
- Grilled peach with mascarpone and honey
RELEASE DATE: JANUARY 2026
MALBEC CABERNET
FEBRUARY 2026
$197
MENDOZA, ARGENTINA
12.5% | DRY | MEDIUM BODY
A bold, charismatic blend showcasing the richness
of Malbec and structure of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Aromas of violet, dark fruit, and spice lead to a palate
of plum, blackberry, and gentle peppercorn.
Well-integrated tannins and acidity bring lift, leaving
a smooth finish lingering with dark fruit and warmth.
Altitude is key to quality – sitting at the foot of the
Andes, these are some of the world’s highest vineyards,
averaging 900m above sea level. Intense sun ripens
grapes fully, while cool mountain nights preserve
acidity. Dry, rocky soils stress the vines, yielding smaller,
concentrated grapes ideal for bold wines.
FOOD PAIRINGS
- Argentine Asado
- Blue cheese burgers
- Mushroom and roasted garlic flatbread
RELEASE DATE: FEBRUARY 2026
PINOT GRIS VERDELHO
MARCH 2026
$189
RIVERLAND, AUSTRALIA
13% | DRY | MEDIUM BODY
Citrus and tropical aromas carry through to a lively palate.
Pinot Gris brings melon and pear, while Verdelho adds tropical
fruit. Notes of pineapple, guava, and citrus are lifted by green
apple and subtle spice. Silky texture, crisp acidity, and a light
mineral note create a refreshing finish.
Verdelho thrives in Riverland’s warm Mediterranean
climate. Hot days promote ripening, while cool nights help
retain acidity – crucial for Pinot Gris. The winding Murray River
provides reliable irrigation in this dry region, nourishing fertile
loam and clay soils. These conditions produce fully ripened
grapes, yielding fresh, fruit-driven wines.
FOOD PAIRINGS
- Thai red curry chicken
- Shrimp vermicelli bowl
- Pear, walnut, and goat cheese salad
RELEASE DATE: MARCH 2026
PACIFIC QUARTET RED
APRIL 2026
$210
PACIFIC RIM
14% | DRY | MED-FULL BODY | HEAVY OAK
GRAPE SKINS INCLUDED
Four varietals from four countries: Chilean Carménère,
Australian Shiraz, California Cabernet Sauvignon,
and New Zealand Merlot create a delectably bold,
well-structured blend. Aromas of blackberry, cherry,
and spice lead to a rich palate layered with blackcurrant,
plum, and dark chocolate. Firm tannins and toasty oak
deliver a long, satisfying finish.
The Pacific Rim’s diverse climates offer ideal conditions
for premium grape growing. From Chile’s coastal vineyards
and Australia’s sun-drenched regions to California’s rich
soils and New Zealand’s cool maritime zones, this unique
blend of terroirs contributes to the wine’s vibrant fruit,
balanced acidity, and complex character.
FOOD PAIRINGS
- Grilled ribeye with peppercorn sauce
- Smoky paprika vegetable kabobs
- Caramelized onion & gouda puff pastry bites
RELEASE DATE: APRIL 2026
