So Many rose out there and they are delicious this time of year!!! Check out this one by Oliver’s!! Another one to put in the bar fridge! with HEY CHICA!

This dry Mencia Rosé is refreshing as, like eating a watermelon right down to the white bits, thanks to our juicy Spanish variety Mencía, say it with an attractive Spanish lisp: Men-Thee-Ah!

How better to celebrate the summer? There’s a good reason why this was voted one of the top 30 wines under $30 by Halliday.

Look at this new item available!!!
with First released in 2022, Camborne Whisky has quickly gained recognition, earning its first gold medal at the 2023 Tasting Australia Spirit Awards.

https://www.angove.com.au/Buy-Wine/St-Agnes-Distillery

“We began making whisky in 2016 with the goal of slowly and carefully building a stockpile of exceptional single malt. Having one of our early releases earn international recognition is truly humbling.

“The name Camborne is an ode to the Cornish birthplace of the founder of Angove Wines and the St Agnes Distillery, Dr WT Angove, who began the wine and distilling journey for our family.” w

Congratulations what a wonderful achievement.
with We’re very pleased that our 2021 Cuthbert Cabernet Sauvignon is named in the Top 100 Wines of 2024 in the Halliday Wine Companion.

The Cuthbert is named in honour of Cuthbert ‘Cud’ Kay, who loved Cabernet Sauvignon and made some award-winning examples during his time as winemaker at Kay Brothers between the 1930s and the 1970s.

We release the Cuthbert Cabernet Sauvignon only when we consider the wine to be outstanding.

Well done to Kay Brothers winemaker Duncan Kennedy on this beautiful wine.

Get onboard and check out the new fiano at Coriole Vineyards.

2024 Coriole Fiano 😍: “Green apple, green herbs, a whiff of aniseed, lemon peel, and a little bit of seaside fun. It’s juicy, it’s quite savoury too, with some raw almond and herbs, a lively tang of green apple and pink grapefruit, a light chalky grip to texture and plenty of zing and energy, plus some quinine bitterness on a finish of excellent length. Bust out the calamari and chips, it’s game on. 94 points” - , .com.au
