Heggies 2008 Eden Valley Riesling


There are some very good 2008 rieslings but you won't do much better than this crisp and refreshing wine from high-altitude, cool-climate vineyards. Nicely structured with oodles of flavour, citrusy minerality and finishing acid. $20.

St Hallett 2006 Faith Shiraz


The perfect choice for meat eaters. A bargain from one of the Barossa's most reliable producers. Juicy fruit flavours, hints of chocolate, a soft, mellow finish. A wonderful match for home-made hamburgers. $20

Brand's Laira 2005 Blockers Cabernet Sauvignon

This rich, full-bodied red has been a star of the show circuit. It's chock-a-block full of ripe berry, plum and chocolate flavours and has the tannins, structure and pedigree to still be drinking well in decade. Partner with rare roast beef. $22.
