The Black Pig Shiraz

16 Little Black Pigs

Shiraz 2021
Country: Australia
Region: South Australia

Rock star treatment!

The Black Pig was our first superstar wine, and the 16 Little Black Pig range is from the same family. In fact, those piglets you see on the label? They’re the babies from Tanuki, the orignal real life black pig. The grapes always receive the royal treatment – from vineyard to bottle.

A Mecca for wine making...

McLaren Vale’s Mediterranean climate is superb for growing wonderful, ripe fruit. Here it has produced a silky, layered Shiraz showing sweet bramble flavours.

Hungry?

This is one little piggy that you can drink and enjoy on its own. Or it will be equally as good with food if you’re hungry! We suggest burgers or a steak sandwich.

Palacio del Conde Gran Reserva

Palacio del Conde

Gran Reserva 2014
Country: Spain
Region: Valencia

Top-tier Spain:

Gran Reservas are the pinnacle of Spanish wine. Made only in the best vintages, from the best grapes, they spend years mellowing in oak before release.

Aged to perfection…

so you don’t have to! By Spanish law, Gran Reservas have to spend a minimum of two years in oak, and three in the bottle. Not only does this ensure elegant, smooth layers of complexity and flavour, it also means you don’t need to cellar it yourself!

Drinking beautifully now:

Those two Gold medals were awarded just last year, which shows this wine is at its peak right now. Enjoy it with some tasty tapas or a lavish lamb or beef roast.

RRP: $19.99

Farinelli Pinot Grigio

Farinelli

Pinot Grigio 2020
Country: Italy
Region: Tuscany

Coastal delight:

Stretching along Italy’s Adriatic coast, the Abruzzo boasts pretty coastal coves and dramatic landscapes of soaring mountain peaks, deep valleys and ancient castles. The region also offers a range of deliciously accessible wines – like this!

Top treatment:

The estate proudly champions a traditional trellising system, ‘pergola abruzzese’, which ensures the grapes receive excellent exposure to the bright sunshine, and so gain full ripeness.

Get your tastebuds ready:

Enjoy here a lovely balance of ripe peach and red apple fruit with citrusy zip. It makes an ideal apéritif and goes well with lemon chicken and creamy pasta.

RRP: $17.99

16 Little Black Pigs

White Blend 2022
Country: Australia
Region: South Australia

More Black Pig goodness!

You’ve got the red ... now try the white! You’ll soon see why The Black Pig family are SO incredibly popular!

Fruit salad, anyone?

This wine has the body of Sav Blanc, the beautiful acid line of Riesling, the exotic fruit flavour of Semillon and Verdelho, and the lifted aromatics of Viognier. Everything came together in perfect balance and we honestly think its stunning.

Our top label:

Vintage after vintage, blend after blend, the range of Black Pig family wines grows in stature and quality. One customer has famously called the Black Pig “a corker of a porker” ... we hope you love your Black Pig wines as much as they do!

Albacore Vintners

Silenus Black Label

Chardonnay 2022
Country: Australia
Region: Adelaide Hills

In Greek mythology...

Silenus was the sturdy (but not so steady) companion of Dionysus, the god of wine. When Midas did Silenus a favour once, Dionysus rewarded him by gifting him the ability to turn everything he touched to gold.

The golden touch:

This delicious Chardonnay shows off the golden touch of growers and winemakers alike.

Fertile soil:

Lush and rich, the Langhorne Creek has long been known as a region producing exceptional wines. The cooling breeze from Lake Alexandrina creates whites with a real freshness and crispness – as you’ll see when you crack open this mouthwatering Chardy.

RRP: $22

Steeple Block

Steeple Block

Semillon 2021
Country: Australia
Region: South Australia

Get ready for…

A gorgeously vibrant and crisp Semillon, soaring with bright fruit.

Solo act:

You may be more familiar with Semillon as a blending partner with Sauvignon Blanc (the famous SSBs we all know and love!) but Semillon is also a wonderful variety all on its own. When young and unoaked, as it is here, it’s crisp and vibrant. If it’s aged or given oak treatment, it’s richer and more sumptuous.

Lively, lemony and lovely…

This deliciously bright and joyful white exhibits lively lemony flavours against a backdrop of lovely grassy notes on a lipsmacking, zesty and zingy finish. Chill it right down and serve it with something spicy. Yum!
