Chianti Classico and IGT appellation wines. Ten hectares, with over 3000 trees, are set aside for the extra 

virgin olive oil production; the rest is woods and arable land. The vineyards are planted on south-facing 

tablelands, giving optimal sunlight and also insulation. 

First planted in 1965, Villa Trasqua is now owned by Hans Hulsbergen, a Dutchman with a great passion for 

wine who bought it in 2001. The winemaker, Swiss oenologist Andreas Stössel has over 20 years of 

experience in Tuscany. He was running Valtellina in Radda before moving to Villa Trasqua. 

The grape varieties used for the production of Chianti Classico are Sangiovese; for the Trasgaia IGT 

(Supertuscan) the grapes are Sangiovese and Cabernet-Sauvignon. The Trasgaia, an elegant, austere wine 

aged 24 months in French oak barriques, has consistently been awarded 2 Bicchieri in Italy‟s wine 

companion, the Gambero Rosso guide. The Traluna - 95% Sangiovese and 5% Alicante Bouschet - is a

have spent many challenging hours planting, pruning and toiling in their 10 hectare vineyard, the highest in 

the valley nestled in the hills 1600 feet above the valley floor. Their collective experience, family traditions, 

Claudio's innovative and compelling enthusiasm, and their particular attention to details both in the vineyards 

and in the cellar, have brought forth a rare selection of delicious red wines for our enjoyment. The rich 

intensity of the contents of the Vivianis' reds is noticeable at the first tasting.

The estate of Fondo Antico is found on the western edge of Sicilia, just a short trip north from Marsala. This 

old property of the Polizzoti-Scuderi family has long nourished indigenous varietals such as Nero d‟Avola, 

Grillo, and Inzolia. Today these vines are also joined by the international Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, 

and Chardonnay, making a total of 90 hectares of vineyards. 

Every step of their production is designed around the belief that “la qualita del vino nasce gia nella vigna” – 

the quality of wine is born already in the vineyard. 

Grape harvest is performed in our family’s cellars equipped with the most innovative technologies. It is 

performed with passion, experience and skill, submitted to meticulous controls through each phase of the 

production. Thus the great wines of Fondo Antico are born, bringing with them harmony of colours and nose, 

richness of the land, generosity and passion of men. Guiseppe Polizotti. 

Lloyd Brothers

www.lloydbrothers.com.au 



Shiraz 2007 6 x 750ml 

White Chalk Shiraz 2006 6 x 750ml 

This single vineyard Shiraz was hand-picked from the best sections of the Lloyd brother‟s 30 acre Shiraz 

vineyard, located high above the township of McLaren Vale. After fermentation in small batch open 

fermenters, the wine spent 21 months in a blend of new and seasoned French and American Oak. 

The lower yielding 2007 vintage meant Lloyd Brothers did not produce a 2007 Reserve Shiraz (known as the 

"White Chalk‟). This has meant that all the best fruit from the vineyard was selected for the Shiraz. It shows 

lovely rich, ripe dark berry and plum cake characteristics on the palate with mocha overtones. Backed up with 

a hint of spice, liquorice and black pepper. 

This wine will happily age for 5-10 years

Epsilon Shiraz 2009 12 x 750ml 

Epsilon Tempranillo Graciano 2008 12 x 750ml 


Epsilon Wines are made in a new winery built at the Northern end of the property, overlooking the vineyard 

that gently slopes down towards the Greenock Creek. Wine making operations are carried out by Julie and 

Aaron Southern. We have spent a long time in establishing and reworking our vineyard, so the wines have 

to be true to their vineyard origins. The advantage of growing your own grapes is that all vineyard operations 

are undertaken with a view towards wine quality. The grapes are grown using organic principles and are 

intentionally cropped low to produce fruit with rich fruit flavours and balanced acid and tannin levels. 

Sometimes a single vineyard can present challenges in producing interesting wines year in, year out. 

Working closely together over the vintage period, the grape intake off the property occurs over a four to six 

week period, depending on soil type, micro climate and desired ripeness levels to obtain complexity in the 

final blend. Wine making is traditional and is intentionally hands off as to have as little an impact on the 

finished wine as possible. Open vat fermentation in small batches, with pumping over two times per day 

followed by gentle basket pressing and small French oak barrel ageing is undertaken for all the red wines. 

Each vineyard parcel is kept separate until final blending, as each wine ages in its own way and gives many 

options when completing the final blend . Aaron Southern, Winemaker 

Fat Sparrow 

Barossa Valley, South Australia 

Heathcote, Victoria 

Barossa Shiraz 2009 12 x 750ml 

Heathcote Sangiovese 2008 12 x 750ml 


The Fat Sparrow Shiraz has been made from premium fruit from Greenock on the north western slopes of the 

Barossa Valley. Greenock, with its ancient soils - perfect blends of brown sandy loams over deep red clay 

bases, hot summer days, and rolling hills which catch the cool evening breezes makes it perfect Shiraz 

terroir. Deep purple in colour, richly flavoured yet elegant, this Shiraz has a lovely nose which leads to soft 

palate of dark cherry and subtle tannins. 

The Fat Sparrow Sangiovese is made from high quality Heathcote fruit. The Heathcote region - with its famed 

Cambrian soils formed by volcanic activity 500,000 million years ago which are rich in minerals and have 

excellent water-holding capacity - while famous for Shiraz, is now also producing other European varieties of 

high note – including Sangiovese, Tempranillo and Nebbiolo. 

While Sangiovese better known for its earthy than fruity notes, the Fat Sparrow Sangiovese displays both 

savoury and fruity red cherry characteristics, mixed with subtle spice. It has a good weight and richness of 

palate, with plenty of fruit and flavour.

Where it all began 

Mike Fitzpatrick‟s diverse working life began on Squitchy Lane in Oxford, UK. It was here that he lived, while 

studying at Oxford University – and here that he first tasted extraordinary wines from some of Europe‟s‟ finest 

single vineyards. 

Mike returned to Australia and after his term as premiership captain for Carlton Football Club, began building 

his financial businesses, while taking every opportunity to learn more about single vineyard wines. 

The Yarra Valley 

After meeting John Middleton and tasting his extraordinary Mount Mary wines, Mike decided on the Yarra 

Valley as his preferred region – given it can produce world class Pinot Noir, Cabernets, Chardonnay and 

Sauvignon Blanc. 

Mike found his ideal site in 1996 - a vineyard planted in 1982, just around the corner from Coldstream Hills 

and Yarra Yering. Over the last three years, Mike has assembled a team of professionals – led by manager 

Ron Winzer and winemaker Robert Paul - to grow, make and market his own single vineyard wines.

Long Cow Sauvignon Blanc 2009 12 x 750ml 

Cob Cottage Chardonnay 2008 12 x 750ml 


Marlborough’s first and oldest vineyard 

Marlborough is now the largest wine region of New Zealand and has become a world-renowned producer 

of premium wines in a relatively short time. 

Hidden in the heart of this youthful Marlborough grape country, there is a small wine cellar, set in the side 

of a hill. Nothing unusual in that you may think. There are now a few cellars around the province. 

However this cellar has something no other does. 

With four massive gum trees standing sentinel, the rammed earth cellar, with dirt floor and Manuka 

log roof, is an impressive reminder that winemaking in Marlborough does in fact have a proud past. 

This cellar was the first of its kind to be built in Marlborough in 1873. It was another 100 years before the 

first of the new era vines where planted in the region.
