This tasting experience highlights the Hunter Valley hero varieties and features our award winning Alessandro and Maria Reserve collection. 

Throughout July and August, join us as we showcase our top-shelf new and cellar-aged wines paired with small bites to complement each bracket. 

Alessandro Reserve Collection pays tribute to the Laureti family's winemaking heritage and in the memory of a beloved father of brothers Frank and Serge. 

Alessandro produced wine in Italy before migrating with his wife Maria to Australia in the 1950's. Wine has long been a part of the family culture. “Growing up, there was never a meal without a glass of wine, it became the Laureti way of life” Frank says. The Alessandro Reserve collection recognises a man for his principles in keeping life simple. Alessandro believed in working hard and with passion, he delighted in time spent with family and friends, all the while enjoying the pleasures of good food and great wine!

The Maria Reserve showcases a limited allotment of white wines in the collection that have been cellared and released with 4-6 years of age. The Maria Reserve are wines released with incredible depth of flavour and complexity.
