Catalina Sounds Pinot Noir 2023
Catalina Sounds Pinot Noir from Marlborough is an expressive and structured wine, showcasing the region’s signature herby, aromatic style. Bright, elegant, and balanced, this Pinot Noir exemplifies Marlborough’s cool-climate finesse. Production Made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, this Appellation Marlborough Wine is sustainably grown and fully sourced from Marlborough vineyards. Grapes are harvested over 14 days, both by hand and machine, with handpicked fruit fully destemmed. Each parcel is fermented separately in open-top fermenters using a combination of selected and wild yeasts. Post-fermentation, the wine spends 5–7 days on the skins before pressing. Maturation takes place in French oak barrels (12% new) for 11 months, with selected batches blended and bottled prior to the next harvest. Tasting notes Aromas of red and dark berries combine with subtle spice and earthy, savoury undertones. The palate is elegant and lively, offering raspberry and cherry flavours, bright wild strawberry fruit, and a refreshing, juicy finish. Food match Pairs beautifully with earthy dishes such as fresh pasta with seasonal field mushrooms and truffle oil, as well as roasted duck with plum sauce. Grape 100% Pinot Noir
Magpie Estate The Good Luck Club Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Magpie Estate The Good Luck Club is a Cabernet Sauvignon from Smalltown Vineyard that defies easy categorisation — and is all the better for it. Notes of shoe-leather on the nose, a palate driven by fresh cassis, vanilla, a dollop of cream, and the texture of a lolly-stick sucked clean. It's, in the words of the winemaker, an absolute bloody marvel. Why You'll Love It Magpie Estate continues their long-standing tradition of superstitious wines with this dual-facing label — show either The Good Luck Club or The Bad Luck Club, illustrated in 19th-century Japanese Kabuki masks. It's a wine about the highs, lows, ayes, and noes of winemaking, chance, and the mad undulations of human existence. The magpie, a bird that for many represents fortune, feels like the perfect mascot. Serious wine, seriously good fun. Vineyard & Production Sourced from Smalltown Vineyard in the Barossa Valley, South Australia — a region that has long proven its mastery of Cabernet Sauvignon alongside its more celebrated Shiraz. Crafted with the precision and irreverence that defines the Magpie Estate house style. Tasting Notes Shoe-leather and dark fruit on the nose. The palate delivers fresh cassis, vanilla, and a dollop of cream, with the satisfying texture of a lolly-stick sucked clean. Rich, structured, and deeply characterful, with a long, rewarding finish. Perfect Pairings Excellent with slow-roasted lamb, beef short rib, mature hard cheeses, and dark chocolate. Also the ideal companion for a long evening of good conversation and better luck. The Blend Cabernet Sauvignon 100%
