🍇 15% Off WA Riesling to Celebrate International Riesling Day on March 15! 🍇

Join us on May 15th to toast to Riesling, the versatile white grape known for its vibrant acidity, floral aromas, and flavors of green apple, citrus, and stone fruits. Originating from Germany, Riesling thrives in cool climates and is celebrated in regions like Alsace (France), Austria, and Australia.

🌟 Spotlight on Western Australia's Great Southern Region 🌟

The Great Southern region produces world-class Rieslings, renowned for their purity, intensity, and unique expression of terroir. With mature vineyards and skilled winemakers, this area offers Rieslings that are both refreshing and complex, showcasing notes of lime, jasmine, and mineral undertones.

🍽️ Perfect Pairing: Enjoy a glass of Riesling with spicy Asian cuisine, seafood, or a fresh summer salad for a delightful experience.

🤑To celebrate, we are offering 15% OFF on our vast range of West Aussie Rieslings (16 wines and growing) and curated Riesling 3 and 6-packs.

Simply use the discount code WARIESLING between now and 12pm March 15.

🍷 New in-store this February
2024 One Armed Scissor Chardonnay from the legends

WHERE IT’S FROM:
50% Perth Hills, Lower Chittering - Christos Vineyard
50% Margaret River, Burnside - Ellens Ridge

AROMATICS : Big time Chardonnay on show. White peach, nectarine, flint, sizzled butter with a little nougat & char from
barrel fermentation in new and used oak.

TASTE : Nectarine and a snap of citrus. Creamy mouth filling texture with nutty cashew notes, the buttery richness balanced by the fresh Margaret River acidity. A little funk and grip adds to the intrigue and individuality.

HOW IT’S MADE : All grapes are handpicked from both vineyards, before chilling overnight. Whole bunch pressing the following morning precedes wild fermentation on full solids in barrique and puncheon barrels with a few whole bunches
thrown in for a little extra character. Roughly 80% MLF conversion for added texture. In barrel for roughly 9 months before bottling.

HOW TO DRINK IT : Probably somewhere close to a beach in the Western suburbs of W.A. Lobster off the grill is optional but highly recommended.

Bottled unfined. Vegan friendly. 200 cases made with sheer joy.
