Due to its characteristics this is a product of excellence.

This is a rough, young grain that has an ivory color and an intense aroma, and that keeps its elasticity when cooked. It is precisely this germ, its light external layer (that is not removed in this rice), that will give it that perfect al dente chewiness, because rice must be cooked “Al Dente”!

Rich yellow, coarsely-ground polenta! In Lombardy it was traditionally served soft and warm with a knob of butter and accompanied with rich stews of beef, pork and game meats.

Barrel fermented, lees aged for 15 months, zippy, tight and toasty. This example of chardonnay shows a bit of Barossa breeding, a bit more oxidised, structured and full bodied than the normal hills examples, but with zippy acidity that interplays with toasty lees characters. Hand harvested and pressed as 100% whole clusters. Pressings remaining separate. Barrel fermented in new and seasoned French oak puncheons and barriques. Aged on lees for 18 months before bottling with no fining or filtration.

A sparkling citrusy, lemongrass-y drink with Vietnamese mint leaf, some sweet yeasty bread dough characters - contributing a sweet yeastiness. A faint lick of guava on a palate dominated by fresh pear and lemon/ lime Splice; the mousse is creamy, the acid refreshing. If sherbet were a drink, this would be da Sherbet bomb.

The Factor is predominantly from the Gomersal and Marananga sub-regions of the Barossa, providing dense texture and richness to the palate with subtle notes of olive tapenade, saddle leather and minerals. Ripe aromas of Satsuma plum, wild blackberries, dark chocolate and five spice entwined with a dark core of espresso roast, ripe mulberries and saltbush. Colour: deep purple, almost black. Aroma: intense black fruits such as satsuma plum, blackberry and boysenberry. Dark chocolate, roasted espresso and liquorice.

What results is a medium-bodied, intensely flavoured wine of violets, spice, coffee, dark chocolate and a full spectrum of red and purple fruits – cherry, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and plums – lifting to the reverb of a 1968 white Fender Stratocaster…a lick of oak and a soft, gentle finish. Like all Break Free wines, there is no filtration or fining and minimal sulphur on bottling to keep the wine fresh and lively. Vegan friendly.

Sagrantino is a red grape variety indigenous to the region of Umbria in central Italy. This wine exhibits a classic Sagrantino fruit profile of savoury spice, dark brooding fruit and tannin.

Only released in the best vintages, this is the very pinnacle of Ken Helm's Riesling obsession. This is one of the country's most elite white wines, something that deserves some time in a cool dark place to really hit its straps. Having said that if you like young, powerhouse Riesling this will reward the patient and impatient alike. Intense lemony/lavender nose, clean bright and lifted. The wine is very delicate and fine, with lingering lime fruit. A beautifully balanced Riesling of acid, fruit, and texture. A high-quality wine with many years cellaring potential. Versatile wine that will complement a variety of cuisines, drinks beautifully now with grilled Whiting.

Beautiful Chardonnay from Mornington Peninsula. The Mill Hill vineyard lies 270m above sea level, and is the highest and one of the more exposed sites in the region. This ensures a long ripening period which creates high levels of natural acidity which persist through to the wine. This wine is complex, restrained, minerals and citrus on the nose. With those same flavours carrying through to the palate. There is a savoury minerality edge to the wine with great length and persistence. The wine has many years ahead of it.

A fragrant nose of strawberries and cream, with a hint of ripe white peach. The palate is elegant with generous weight underpinned by clean acidity. A dash of white pepper and spice leading into a savoury finish. This wine feels generously elegant and almost has the ability to transport you from your iso-mood to vacay-babe! The fruit is handpicked across three vineyards and whole bunched pressed using a gentle champagne press cycle. No enzymes or sulfur are used and the juice is oxidatively handled to get rid of oxidative enzymes early on in the winemaking process. The wine is left at ambient or if needed chilled to 15 degrees and transferred to old French oak barrel with full solids and minimal sulphur is added. The wine is then left to ferment with wild yeast, left until the following summer, then removed from lees, and transferred to a tank. The resulting wine is crisp, with minimal filtration, but crisp vibrancy and complexity remain.

2016 was a warm growing season, bringing rich, ripe flavours to this blend. III is our traditional blend, which combines the 3 Nebbiolo clones we have growing at Pipan Steel Wines.

The 2019 Pinot Noir has aromas of dark berry fruits such as blackberry, plums and cherries with background aromas of dried herbs and spices. It has a soft entry with mid palate fruit sweetness and lovely texture. The finish is long with balanced acid and fine tannins. Bright, medium to deep red/purple colour. The bouquet is meaty/charcuterie-like and spicy, earthy, smoky, quite full-bodied for a Mornington pinot and it fills the entire mouth.

Fresh, frisky, strawberry and mint, perfumed too, and a modest amount of smoky earthiness. Limpid and fine, cool feeling, with a stroke of emery tannin, sap and spice, and a lively finish of excellent length. This wine is soft and round, full and delicious on the palate, the oak is noticeable but far from domineering. A very attractive pinot, long and satisfying. Beautifully made and so pleasing to drink.

Deeply aromatic, opulent and powerfully ripe. Plush tannins and layers of dark fruit deliver a robust palate and serious cellaring potential. The Shiraz Vioginer is a selection of the best Shiraz Viognier parcels, crafted from the Murrumbateman vineyard. It spent 18 months in oak, rather than its usual 12. Has a lovely freshness and purity with crushed berry aromas, plums, a musky floral thread, complexities of spice, dry herbs and understated smoky oak. It’s medium-bodied with a lovely silky texture, impressive intensity of lingering flavour and ripe, soft tannins in perfect harmony.

Andrea's favourite dessert wine. Before harvest, the best grapes are personally and exclusively selected by the family members, in order to make them dry naturally until February. Tessari’s sweet wine, Tre Colli, is a dream. The colour of honey. The nose is fragrant; dried fruit, raisins, summer white flowers and tiny amount of custard. Just the right amount of sweetness vs. dryness. Perfectly paired with lighter desserts and cakes, like our Latte e Caramello, or our Torta Sabbiosa!

A personal favourite after dinner sweet wine of Davide's... A semi-sweet fortified Durif. Perfect with dark chocolate or hard cheeses, served chilled or at room temperature. Drink within 14 days of opening.

This is a traditional bolognese made with beef for body and flavour and pork for sweet softness. It's slow-cooked to meld the flavours properly just like nonna would do.

We're happily obsessed with making soft gnocchi that taste like potato not flour. These heavenly pillows don’t need a complex sauce - a little tomato, a drizzle of oil, a grating of cheese and dinner is done. Another option is a burnt butter, garlic and sage sauce. Of course, they are lovely with our lamb ragu too! You can serve the gnocchi simply boiled or lightly pan fry once cooked. FRESHLY FROZEN

Spaghetti is the quintessential Italian pasta. It is long – like a string (hence the name, as spago means string) – round in cross-section and made from durum wheat semolina, but Al Dente Spaghetti is the best Spaghetti!

Frattali Olive Oil is 100% cold pressed Extra Virgin Oil grown and produced on their estate just 3km from Yea in NSW. The Frattali family has been producing olive oil in Italy for generations. Today, the traditions are being carried on here in Australia. Each year, their olives are processed on site within 24 hours of harvesting to preserve the natural flavour of the fruit and to ensure the quality of the product.
