EXPERTS ON WINE
COMPLIMENTING OUR CULINARY DISHES
Our sommelier can source wines that truly complement our dishes giving you an experience like no other. We have a wide selection of drinks including draft and bottled beer, spirits and cocktails available but what makes us different is the care and research we put into selecting the perfect wine for each meal offer. We know what’s best, so ask our friendly staff in store and we will gladly point in you in the right direction.

ESSENTIAL WINE GUIDE
When out for a meal selecting the right wine is a lot easier than you might think. The basic guidelines are the heavier the food the heavier the wine you should drink. For example, drinking white wine with fish and drinking red wine with meat.

However, the colour of wine is not as important as its origins and general characteristics. For example, Pinot Noir goes well with a wide range of foods particularly grilled foods. Our Woolshed Pinot Noir (Austrailia) is a classic ruby red wine with attractive cherry, strawberry and pomegranate fruit aromas and some subtle French oak spice. These fruity flavours pair perfectly with fish dishes, like our Blackened Salmon or Grilled Seabass as well as lean meat dishes like chicken or duck.

If you’re a fan of Pinot Noir you’ll also like Rioja. This is a slightly heavier wine from Spain. The Covilla Rioja is an elegant modern crianza from Rioja that displays beautiful ripe fruity flavours. This wine goes particularly well with our Slow Cooked Lamb Shank with Redcurrant Jus.

When eating steak, you should choose a full bodied red, such as a Shiraz. The Penfolds Private Reserve Shiraz-Cab (Austrailia) is a great choice. Another fine choice is our Louis Mosset – Crozes Hermitage (France). This powerful, deep ruby-red wine is well balanced with great red berry fruits and mixed spices.
