Semillon Chardonnay, Tin Hat, South Eastern Australia, 2003 A bouquet of fresh tropical fruit leads to a cascade of peach and exotic fruits on the palate with a delightful zesty freshness and crisp finish Gavi La Zerba, Italy, 2005 This wine is lovely and pure with a perfumed nose of honeysuckle and pear. This reflects onto the palate and is balanced by some tropical fruit and lovely mineral fresh acidity.

A super food wine. Montagny 1er Cru, Olivier Leflaive, Burgundy, France, 2004 This wine has a citric grapefruit quality. Weighty but with mineral touches and gently infused vanilla oak. Chardonnay, Meerlust, Stellenbosch, South Africa, 2003 The oak is classically Meursault in style, but slightly fuller; the fuit is wonderfully rich, showing apple, honey, melon and pink grapefruit and the finish is fresh and pure.

Pinotage, Martin Meinert, Devon Valley, South Africa, 2004 Deep purple in colour showing scents of mulberry, blackberry, and even cassis. The palate is full of pepper, spice, blackberry, more cassis and big, but ripe tannins. The finish is well-structured, with good length. Meaty - well made Pinotage! Cabernet Shiraz, Tin Hat, South Eastern Australia, 2002 Sweet forest fruit notes of Shiraz combine with the cassis and currant of Cabernet. Has lovely balance and a long refined finish. Delicious!

Zinnia Zinfandel, California, 2003 A wonderful brooding, deep dark purple colour, an explosive aroma of wild blackberries and cherries complimented on the palate by a soft, velvety, distinguished sensation, a powerful wine yet still elegant and restrained. Rioja Crianza, Bodegas Campillo, Spain, 2001 Deep, complex aromas with very developed hint of fruit, leather and vanilla. On the palate, it is powerful and full-bodied with a well-balanced tannic flavour on the finish. Chateau Puygueraud, Cotes de Francs, Bordeaux, France, 2001 Wonderful soft, supple Merlot makes it feel silky smooth, the backbone of the Cabernet giving structure, tannin and ripe blackberry fruits.
