Fit for a Vintner

THE wine hamper to impress.

The Lane's 95 point Blanc de Blancs provides the bubbles with its elegant hints of lemon and crisp finish. The 'Bernoota' from Langhorne Creek's Lake Breeze provides the award winning Great Australian Red. A finely crafted shiraz cabernet with chocolatey overtones to blackberries and plums, this wine will benefit from cellaring for the next 8-10 years. From James Halliday's Winemaker of the Year in 2016, Peter Fraser's Yangarra Estate provides the 2015 Old Vine Grenache. Rating 95 points with James Halliday, this is another elegant and enticing offering within this carefully arranged hamper. Hidden gem, Mordrelle Wines provide their Cabernet Sauvignon, with a rich palate and hints of cinnamon and vanilla. Perfect accompaniments are provided by Red Cacao chocolates, Two Hills and a Creek dukkah, olives from Harding’s Fine Foods, smoked almonds and biscuits from Frantic Whisk.
