THREE MARYS SPARKLING MUSCAT              $35/ Case $420

A  fresh ‘just off dry’  bubbly with initial notes of Turkish Delight and dried orange peel to finish. Hand-crafted using ‘methode champenoise’ and kept on lees for 36 months, it is especially good with seafood.  Guaranteed to add a sparkle to any occasion!

 REDS

THREE MEN AND THE MOON  2017   CABERNET SAUVIGNON/SHIRAZ   $25/ Case $300

A medium-bodied dry red with plummy and spice notes.  Fire up the barbeque or look forward to enjoying it with whatever takes your fancy….. pizza, lasagne, game with cranberry jus.  Otherwise, anything char-grilled or slow-cooked works equally well.  Why the name?  It was bottled on the 50^th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing,  20 July 2019.

NANNA GELSO  2018    SHIRAZ/CABERNET SAUVIGNON/MERLOT $20/ Case $240

This sweet red blend is still light and lively and just a little bit cheeky! There’s ripe raspberry lurking in the background. Food matches? Consider spicy roast pumpkin, feta and dukkah salad, the usual red meat suspects or gutsy cheeses with barnyard personalities! Remember, ‘sweet and chilli’ are good dancing partners so consider a good, vibrant beef, lamb or vegetable curry.

It’s the sounds and smells of a Queensland summer here on the Hill this morning:  whirring of the mower and the delicious smell of freshly cut grass, the whizz of the whipper snipper chomping through that guinea grass and the pllurr of the leaf blower all backed up by the  cicadas tuning up for the hot day ahead.

The Lilypilly with its shiny red berries brings joy and gratitude to the heart, especially knowing  it was given to us by two very dear friends (gardeners extraordinaire who are now enjoying membership of  the Eternal Garden!)

We’re particularly proud of our 3 MARYS SPARKLING MUSCAT. It’s made using ‘méthode traditionelle’ the process used for champagne and involves two stages of fermentation plus the skill and commitment of the winemaker.  The end product is worth it. To see those ‘princesses tapped in the tower released’ involves the appreciation of you, the consumer!

All our wines and liqueurs are made here on the Hill, made with pride passion and  respect for tradition with no preservatives added…. alcohol of course is the preservative and in the case of reds, tannin!
