Alrighty.....about time we highlighted a number of wines that we are looking to clear out. Nothing wrong with 'em....I literally need the shelf space! Please note are in limited supply so please act quickly should anything catch your eye.

Terre a Terre Cabernet Franc 2022 & 2023 (was $35 now $19) - By some margin this Croser Family 'project' is Wrattonbully's best red wine maker. Always (& strictly) traditional in the European sense - dry red fruits, long palate length and tannin driving a highly structured build.

Alkimi Syrah 2017 (was $39 now $19) - Mid weight Yarra Valley Shiraz with tangy spicy fruits. Plenty of buzz. Only 3 bottles left. Good winemaker this bloke.

Wild Duck Creek 'White Duck' Roussanne Viognier 2022 (was $45 now $35) - Made through the blending of Roussanne & Viognier, White Duck is full of texture and vibrancy. Fermented in 500L French oak barrels, it shows a lovely fusion of typical varietal characters. The Roussanne providing earthiness, roundness and fresh natural acidity, and the Viognier filling that palate with stone fruits and texture. Only 2 bottles remaining.

Thousand Candles 'Gathering Fields' Shiraz 2021 (was $36 now $29.50)"Natural fermentation with 20% whole bunches, matured in older French oak. A super-bright crimson purple. Fully deserving of its gold medal at the 2022 Yarra Valley Wine Show, this opens with aromas of blackcurrant pastilles, boysenberries, black pepper, floral notes & a little charcuterie. Just as good on the medium-bodied, youthful and very well-balanced palate, which finishes with gently chewy, very fine-grained tannins and a little spice." 96pts | Phillip Rich | Halliday Wine Companion
