The Cricketer is delighted to offer a selection of Australian wines to explore and enjoy.
100% Nero d'Avola Coriole produces a fruit-forward, early drinking style.
Abundant aromas of ripe, red cherries, sage flower and berry bramble. The alluring colour is reminiscent of cherry and juicy red berries. A wonderfully fruit-forward, easy-drinking wine with a velvety, round palate; fine, supple tannins and a delicate, lingering finish.
100% Fiano
The intriguing nose keeps you going back for further exploration; white nectarine, butter-poached fruit, baked apple, fresh cut hay and lemon curd. The palate is beautifully balanced with great natural acidity, a soft, creamy texture and an array of citrus and stone fruit characters.
100% Pinot Noir
Medium red with brightness. Expressive Pinot, classic strawberry and red cherry, perfumed. Soft, plump, textural, spice, gentle acidity.
Try with a braised rib eye steak!
100% Semillon
It beams with delicate, zesty, lemon and lime-fruit plus fine perfumes and flavours of fresh cut lemongrass and white flowers. A taut, wonderfully crisp style with citrus-zing energy and notable length, all the hallmarks of this classic Hunter white.
Perfect with light and delicate fish dishes, prawns and freshly shucked oysters.
100% Shiraz
Dark vibrant red in colour with lifted aromas of black cherry and chocolate. On the palate concentrated dark fruit flavours are complimented by subtle oak characters of mocha and spice. Full bodied and well-structured with firm ripe tannins providing balance and length.
Perfect with grilled red meat, slow cooked lamb shoulder, rich saucy casserole.
100% Chardonnay
Classic dry white. Light straw green with sweet peach and grilled citrus aromas complementing the soft, spicy oak on the nose. The generous palate offers hazelnut & nectarine with hints of spicy preserved lemon with a long and elegant finish.
Enjoy with grilled trout, niçoise salad or juicy roast chicken.
100% Chardonnay
Rolleston Vales Chardonnay is very much fruit driven with bags of peachy & tropical tones, there's oak there, but its subtle notes of butterscotch integrate beautifully allowing them to complement not dominate the wine.
Perfect with white meat dishes, try with a grilled chicken salad.
100% Shiraz
An approachable Aussie Shiraz from the high-altitude vineyards of the Oatley family. Rolleston Vale Shiraz is packed with rich dark berry fruit and a hint of spice on the finish. The fresh style makes it highly versatile.

On the nose, plums, blueberries with violets and liquorice, underpinned by the well-integrated chocolate oak. A rich and flavoursome wine displaying plum, black cherry and liquorice. Fine chewy tannins, complemented by the chocolate oak making it a generous and complete wine.
Try with grilled rib eye steak & crispy garlic potatoes or after a meal with vintage cheddar cheese.
Gewurztraminer/ Riesling blend.
Rose petal aromas with a hint of spice and fresh citrus. The palate is sweet, with rosewater Traminer characters complemented by the Riesling adding a citrus freshness.
