Weekender White Blend

Winemaker: Qualia Wines

Tasting Notes

Fresher than a dip in the river it’s grown near! This white is the colour of the light straw you’ll see on your next road trip driving through the plains of Victoria. The carefully crafted blend brings out more character than the Sydney Opera House. As you crack open the bottle, you’ll be met with scents of ripe nashi pear, oak and honeysuckle. After cheers-ing your mates you’ll taste the vibrant peach and vanilla blend taking you back to your first bite of pavlova. The flavours linger giving you ample chance to appreciate Australia’s best grapes all in one bottle.

Food Combo

This good drop is best matched with roast chicken or whatever your mate brings back from his fishing trip. Or think light dishes like a veggie dumplings or a creamy garlic crumbed prawns.

Australia’s cool winter nights and beaut sunny days are made for this perfectly balanced red. The deep crimson red will remind you of the our red desert sand after a rare spot of rain.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Winemaker: Qualia Wines

Tasting Notes

Most Aussies love a good Cab Sav. This medium bodied, savoury drop is a beauty. Deep ruby red in colour, like a big bowl of cherries at an Aussie Christmas picnic. The aroma, however, is very berry. It floats out of the glass with hints of white pepper and green olive. Take a sip and it’s as if you’re sitting around the campfire out in the outback. It has toasted flavours of black cherry and green olive with a little bit of spice that will stay with you like a loyal blue heeler after a hard day’s work herding cattle.

Food Combo

Perfect as a winter warmer with rosemary braised lamb shanks or try it with a tasty plate of baked figs, prosciutto and blue cheese.

Sauvignon Blanc

Winemaker: Qualia Wines

Tasting Notes

Harvesting in the chilly winter nights gave Aussies best grown grape a taste as fresh as the aircon kicking in on a hot summers drive. With the colour of new hay growing in Queensland’s beloved Bundaberg, this wine is sure to be loved by both new and old wine drinkers. When lifting the glass aromas of citrus blossom, mango and grass will remind you of your summer nights kicking back with a fruit platter. The refreshing acidity and vibrant palate makes this wine perfect for a day amongst the sun and sand.

Food Combo

Try chargrilled squid and avocado dishes with this good drop. The refreshing taste also pairs well with a fresh tomato salsa for those days you want to relax and dip some nachos while watching the cricket.

Shiraz

Winemaker: Qualia Wines

Tasting Notes

If you’ve ever seen Uluru (Ayers Rock) when the sun’s setting, you’ll know this colour – crimson with tinges of red. As you raise your glass, it smells like summer in a country town with Satsuma plum, pepper and spice wafting in the air. Then, as you gulp that first mouthful – small sips are near impossible – its velvety tannins slide across your tongue and the rich, ripe flavours of dark berries, fruitcake and vanilla come out to enthusiastically greet you, like the ladies at an Outback fundraiser.

Food Combo

Keep it as simple as a BBQ or go for something big on flavour like an eggplant parmigiana or a BBQ T-bone steak with café de Paris butter, or skip straight to dessert with a fruity panforte.
