Winter is when we dig deep into the cellar in search of inspiration. Whether you're entertaining or staying in; pairing with food or sitting near a fire in your high-country hideaway, don’t settle for anything less than opulent. We’re delighted to present you our winter wine picks: big reds, sophisticated Italians, classic French, a no-shame Chardonnay and more.

A meal without wine is called breakfast. Beyond that, from the merest canapès to the mightiest of feasts, food finds a new level in the company of fine wine. Australia’s love of sun, surf and the great outdoors can lead to winters that feel long and cold, and with little to do. If you’re planning to stay in, treat yourself to a glass of fine wine and some no-stress recipes for domestic deities that make the most of your time.

Langton’s Domestic Buyer Justin Lane introduces us to a very special project near his home in the Adelaide Hills. Winemaker Martin Moran’s story and wines are worthy of attention, as they are quietly challenging that ‘undisputed’ title held in by Tasmania for fine fizz. Extended lees ageing may grab the headlines but it is just the tip of the iceberg for the new darling of Adelaide Hills Sparkling Wine.
