BIG FAMILY WINES 
 | 2016 BIG FELLA Yarra Valley CHARDONNAY | |
| For those who enjoy a full bodied style of white wine - from our Yarra Glen vineyard, this 100% barrel fermented Chardonnay had malolactic fermentation in barrel with twelve months barrel maturation on lees. The resulting wine shows a powerful aroma with subtle French oak and hints of peach, nectarine and yeast lees (bready) character which follows through to the pallet with a very good complexity of flavours and very persistent finish which is well balanced with soft acidity. | ||

 | 2015 BIG FELLA Victoria SHIRAZ | |
| True to character, this is a very full bodied wine, produced mainly from grapes grown on a steep slope in the Murrindindi Ranges. Small batch fermentation was followed by 20 months maturation in quality oak. Deep, rich garnet/ruby colour. The aroma shows well integrated and very nice new oak with spicy ripe berry fruit. The palate is firmly structured with great concentration of flavour and a long finish. Cellaring 10 years plus. Food: Slow cooked meat dishes Roast lamb with oregano and garlic. | ||

| 2015 BIG FELLA Victoria CABERNET SAUVIGNON | |
| Due to the very low crop level, the grapes matured very early. Was in small open top fermenters with frequent plunging of cap so as to release all the flavour and colour from the skins. After pressing the fermenting juice was transferred to barrels to finish its fermentation. This Big Fella was then matured for 18 months in French and American Barriques and minimal filtration was carried out so as to maximize the flavour and colour. The resulting wines shows a very dense, rich purple colour. The aroma shows subtle new French Oak combined with sweet ripe Cabernet fruit. The palate is really full bodied, but still very tightly knit with a firm backbone of fine tannins which will guarantee a good cellaring potential for those who have the patience. This wine is well suited to a thick juicy rare steak and will age very well in the cellar of a patient collector. | ||

| 2013 BIG MOMMA Victoria PREMIUM RED BLEND | |
| This full bodied wine is blended from many varieties including Merlot, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot as the dominant grape variety. Part of the fruit was picked extremely ripe so that those sweet berry characters and a little residual sweetness would show through. The resulting wine shows a vibrant deep ruby colour, voluptuous sweet berry fruit on the aroma. The palate is really full flavoured with lots of fruit character and just a touch of sweetness which is well balanced with fine tannins. Try it with Spare Ribs marinated in red wine with garlic and plum sauce cooked on the barbeque. | ||

It goes beautifully with a large variety of Asian cuisine and particularly spicy dishes. Pale lemon in colour with a green tinge. The bouquet shows intense floral spicy aroma with subtle French oak and barrel ferment characters. The palate is full flavoured with lots of upfront fruit and a touch of sweetness, leading to a clean and very persistent finish. | ||
