From The Producer
"The PS Marion Tawny is released as part of our long-term support of the Paddle Steamer Marion, built in 1897 and now moored in Mannum. Every sip of this wine helps put steam back into the boiler of one of the finest ships that ever plied the waters of the magnificent Murray River."

The perfect, low-disease-pressure conditions in which to grow small, healthy bunches of compact, flavour-packed berries.
Mascorrubi In Annat Rosado
$26.99
100% organic! Made from the Sumoll grape, this rose shows bright acidity and lively floral and citrus notes.
The Sumoll grape varietal is difficult to grow but has a very alluring personality that rewards the careful patience of growers and drinkers alike. Sumoll was far more prevalent in the Penedes and the Catalonia region in the 1800s. However, many of the vineyards in the region were destroyed by phylloxera and little Sumoll was replanted afterwards. Today, the grape is making a slow but steady rise within the region as it becomes prized for its uniqueness and ties to the area.
“...if Cabernet Sauvignon is Beethoven, then Sumoll is Miles Davis.”

Each wine is made in separate concrete eggs and then a final blend is determined. Using over 100-year-old vines helps to make this wine as delicious as it is. Lighter in style than your typical Malbec but still full of flavour and complexity.
In 2007 the brothers purchased their first 5 hectares of old vine Malbec vineyards. The original vineyard dates back to 1914. Over time they have built up to 25 hectares in total. With this dedication, they aspire to develop, along with other local producers who maintain their vineyards with pride, the stewardship to offset the encroaching urbanization.
Constantia Chardonnay
$21.99
Constantia Uitsig is located in what can be described as the "Cradle of winemaking" in the Cape and has a long history, being part of the first wine-producing estate in South Africa, dating back to the mid-1600s. Its unique position means that its vines benefit from the cool sea breezes, providing natural acidity and brilliant ageing ability, as well as Cape Town’s Mediterranean climate, with its rainy winters and long, dry summers. This position has made for the perfect grape growing conditions, with vines rooted in 200-million-year-old, well-composed, well-drained granite with a high clay content, ensuring excellent water retention. The wine features a complex nose that leads with tangerine and melon aromas underlined by a fresh minerality. This is followed by yellow summer fruit flavours on the palate, finished with delicate hits of Granny Smith apples and Meyer lemon.
