'Classic Wines' Pack ~ August 2025
A mix of well-known and much-loved classics, but like, really REALLY good.
August's Classic Wines 3-Pack includes:
1. 2024 Tillie J Chardonnay
Chardonnay | Yarra Valley, VIC | Natillie Johnston | Tillie J Wines
This one walks the line beautifully... bright, clean, and snappy, but still perfectly plush. It smells like preserved lemon and summer stone fruit, with a touch of ginger and freshly cut hay. On the palate, it’s got that fine-boned acidity we love in cool-climate Chardy, plus a bit of salinity and just enough creamy oak to round it all out. No secondary fermentation here, so it keeps its zip – but the nine months on lees brings real shape and structure.
2. 2024 Werkstatt Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir | Mount Gambier, SA | Bridget Mac | Werkstatt
A sleek little Pinot! All tension and poise, redcurrant and cherry skin lead the way... with black tea leaves and alpine herbs that hold it all together. There’s a bit of rhubarb and plum, bergamot too. Grown on a single, wind-brushed site in Mount Gambier with a base of metamorphosed limestone (aka marble), it's fermented with 10% whole bunch and barely touched.
3. 2023 Krinklewood ‘Rouge Aux Lèvres’ Shiraz
Shiraz | Hunter Valley, NSW | Valentina Moresco | Krinklewood
Shiraz? Say no more friends. May I present this Hunter Valley gem, laced with florals and layered with red plum, boysenberry, blueberry and mulberry jam. French oak aging brings in hints of cedar, vanilla bean and clove too. A beautiful combination of flavours!
