QuickviewRouge Vintner Stemless Glass Gift Box (set of 4 glasses)
Glassware, Monthly WinesThe Rouge Vintner glassware range is for the wine obsessed. Designed by our very own Dru Reschke, after 20 years in the wine industry he wanted to create a glass that was not only beautiful but practical. Each glass has been coated with potassium salt which typically gives the glass 5 times the strength of a normal glass – this makes them suitable for use in domestic and commercial dishwashers. The rim has been cold cut and polished, this allows each glass to not only be fine and lightweight but also very strong and durable. Each gift box contains 4 glasses and makes an excellent wedding, engagement or Christmas present.$49.95Dru's checklist:
Why has it been so hard to find a stemless wine glass that can also serve whiskey? One that, if tipped over, bounces right back up again. One that can be laid on its side to aerate a worthy whiskey. One that has a fine edge whilst being 5x stronger than normal glass. When I couldn’t find that glass, I designed it myself.Glass features:
- A fine cold-cut lip
- 5 x stronger than normal glass
- Ideal for both red and white wine & spirits
- The widest point is 150ml (5oz) for maximum aeration and exactly 5 glasses from every bottle

QuickviewAngel’s Footprints, Sauvignon Blanc, Mount Gambier 2016
Monthly Wines, Our Wine, White WinesSAVE 50% WHEN YOU BUY 12 BOTTLES. SAVE $119 **Offer ends Friday 20 April 2018. “Friends are angels that lift you up when your wings have forgotten how to fly. Many people walk through your life, but true friends leave footprints in your heart.” So raise your glass - here’s to friends.$19.95Part barrel ferment has given this cool climate wine layers of complexity, with guava, crisp pink lady apples and gooseberry notes.
Mount Gambier is even cooler than Marlborough in New Zealand, so the long growing period allows the grapes to develop an abundance of flavours without losing the crisp freshness of a true cool-climate grape. This vineyard, and all our vineyards, only average four sprays per year for disease, using only organically certified products so as not to harm our delicate ecosystem.

QuickviewFlowers for Lucy, Moscato 2018
Monthly Wines, Our Wine, White WinesOur 2018 vintage is now available. Three days a week our two little girls would stroll into the Cellar Door to say hello, and almost always they were holding flowers picked along the way. Alice’s flowers would proudly go to her Mum, while Lucy’s - with her arm out stretched proudly - went to me. “These are for you Dad,” she’d say. One day - when she is old enough to enjoy in moderation - the burst of floral flavours in this Moscato will be my flowers to her. Dru and Nicole Reschke. Great balance of sweetness and refreshing lime, Flowers for Lucy has low alcohol – making it easier to have a glass or two before or after dinner. Food match: Summer berry trifle and homemade icecream. Moscato Spritzer 3 parts Flowers for Lucy 2 parts Aperol 1 part Soda Water Crushed ice Lucy Cocktail 150ml Flowers for Lucy 30ml Gin Crushed ice with a sprig of mint Download tasting notes PDF - 2017 vintage Download tasting notes PDF - 2016 vintage$18.95
