2017 Murrumbateman winery pinot grrr-is, $30

A playful wild fermented wine, named Tannin’s Wild Pinot Grrr-is after excitable wine dog Tannin, a two year old kelpie. This wine displays clean floral aromas, delicious nashi pear fruit flavours on the palate and well-balanced acids. Delicious with salmon.

2017 Yarrh wines Sangiovese, $30

A bright, medium-bodied wine with focused varietal expression of red and sour cherry, and hints of sage and thyme. The savoury palate has layers of interest backed by fine tannins, lively acidity and well-weighted oak. It all contributes to a persistent and balanced finish.
