Robert Oatley The Pennant Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Red wine and the crisp cool weather of winter are a match made in heaven, just like the Sunday roast lamb you should be cooking up to devour alongside this full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon. Featuring blackcurrants, black cherries and earthy notes, don’t forget to put a Black Forest gâteau on the menu for dessert to enjoy with this drop.
Burge Family Old Vine Shiraz 2017
Fire up the bbq, cosy up by the fire pit, Dad to the refreshing yet full-bodied flavours of this Burge Family Shiraz. The lifted aromas of blackberry, plum and black pepper are accompanied by dark berry fruits on the palate - all of which serve as a great match to a hearty, meaty meal. Our suggestion - swap sausages for a rich and gamey kangaroo steak.
Paulett Wines Clare Valley Polish Hill River Cabernet Merlot 2017
This Father’s Day, it’s time to talk wine and cheese. A Cabernet Merlot with a rich lingering palate like this one will get you in the mood to curl up on the couch. The black and red fruits, along with dusty oak, cigar box and sweet spice are a beautiful blend for winter. Next, cheese. A decadent cheese platter with all your favourite hard and soft varieties (don’t forget a mellow blue cheese - trust us, you won’t be sorry) will bring this red wine to life.
