New Top Quality Wines arriving shortly!

We have some new exciting wines due in shortly. These are top quality, award winning wines from South Australia - predominantly Mclaren Vale & Adelaide Hills. They're all from small independent producers with a passion for producing quality wines.

Australia is an enormous country but it's area under vine is relatively small when compared to European countries. There were no native grapes until the British settlers arrived, and conditions for survival for any living thing can be challenging to say the least. Virtually all the vineyards are in the cooler South, although Tasmania is probably just too cold to produce any great wines. The Australian wine industry is now booming, thanks to it's abundance of sunshine being tempered by advanced irrigation systems, and the recognition of the need for cooler vineyard sites at altitude to prevent over ripening. Australia seems to produce better wines every year and, if you steer clear of the mass produced factory brands, you will find a variety of styles to suit every taste.


The grapes for Blue Tongue wines are all sourced from privately owned vineyards located in the Riverland near the Murray River. Blue Tongue use the Loxton Winery, operated by McGuigan Simeon Wines, to press the grapes, then they take complete control over the wine makiing process themselves. As a result the quality of their wines is consistently excellent. They are all highly recommended. Blue Tongue Website

Blue Tongue Chardonnay 2004 75cl


13% abv. Beautiful rich buttery Chardonnay, very lightly oaked. This wine is lovely on it's own but will also stand up well with food. Highly recommended.

Benson Rise Cygne Blanc 2007 South Australia 75cl


13.5% abv. A revelation - a new grape variety from a single vineyard on Mount Benson on the Limestone Coast. Cygne Blanc is believed to be a white version of Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a floral bouquet with intense, lingering flavours and a dry finish, similar to Verdelho.

Fermoy Estate 'John Anderson' Margaret River Chardonnay 2006 75cl


13.5% abv. Floral, rich nose. Great fruit on the palate, a little crisper than most Chardonnays with a sharper fruit taste reminiscent of Sauvignon. Not as heavy or full bodied as typical Chardonnay either, just a little lighter and fresher. It has superb length and we thought it was absoluely lovely. A delicious wine suited to food or great for just drinking on a warm sunny day.

Lisa McGuigan Tempus 2 Pewter Range Chardonnay 75cl


IWC Commended. 13% abv. I usually steer well clear of factory produced brands but this wine is too good to leave off the list. Intense buttery nose, rich buttery flavours with strong oak, although the oak doesn't overpower the wine. Good length. Great presentation too. We really enjoyed it.

McPherson Verdhelo 75cl 2005


13% abv. An interesting wine from a family owned winery. This Verdhelo has Sauvignon like fruit to start, with Chardonnay style body and butteriness on the reasonably long finish. A good wine to drink on it's own or an interesting choice for a dinner party.
Price: £5.86 (Including VAT at 17.5% )

Pendarves Estate Hunter Valley Verdelho 2004 75cl


13.5% abv. A relatively small estate of 20 hectares under vine, owned and operated by Dr Phillip Norrie who is well known for his research into the relationship between wine and health. The estate produces several varietals but it is Verdelho and Shiraz for which they are best known and regularly win trophies at the Hunter Valley Small Winemakers Show. Verdelho has pride of place, occupying the best sites in the vineyard. This wine is deceptively pale in colour with wonderful big fruit flavours, and great length. It's probably the best Verdhelo I've ever tasted and makes a great alternative to Chardonnay. Due to it's full body, it's well suited to food, even strongly flavoured like Chinese or Thai dishes, or delicious to while away a sunny afternoon on it's own.

Willowglen Semillon Chardonnay 2006 75cl


12.5% abv. A delicious soft, buttery wine, full in the mouth with lasting flavour. A twin varietal, at this price point, often has an inferior grape added to make the superior grape go further, but in this case it's great to see a producer blend two grapes for the right reasons. The Semillon lends a richness to the flavour of the Chardonnay. This wine was actually served at Buckingham Palace. Great value.
