The Wine List

The glass brasserie wine list of 1000 selections encompasses what is one of Australia’s largest collections of fine wine in an international hotel.

Our sommeliers & wine waiters are pleased to offer advice as well as to fulfil your requests; explore some of the best Australia has to offer and many great and difficult to find bottles from throughout the world.

Housed in climate controlled cellars within Hilton Sydney and glass brasserie’s 3500 bottle wine wall; to the best of our knowledge, the wines in our collection have been kept under controlled temperatures and humidity since their release, and many come direct from the winery, estate or Château.

Carefully sourced; we believe each of our older ‘museum’ bottles to be sound; however each bottle has its own history. For some wines of age, there are often no good wines or vintages per se, only good bottles. We will endeavour to find that bottle for you. Enjoy. Head Sommelier Mauro Bortolato Sommeliers Chris Rose Steve Darazs Shaun Lau

Produced in the Northern part of Italy, Prosecco is a fascinating wine for its gentleness, its suppleness, its moderate body, its velvet smoothness and its sapidity. Obtained by Charmat method is the ideal system for the production of sparkling wines with fruity aromas, as this method respects the original character of the fruit.

Col Vetoraz lays on the very top of the homonymous hill next to the "Mont" of Cartizze in S. Stefano di Valdobbiadene at 400 metres above sea level. Miotto Family settled down in Col Vetoraz in 1838 and started growing Prosecco and Cartizze grapes.

2012 Col Vetoraz Prosecco Extra Dry Valdobbiadene, Italy 75 Delicate fruity aroma, balanced to the taste with elegant finish, appealing.

Australian Semillon Although not as fashionable as Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon is regarded as a great and unique wine of Australia. Low alcohol, no oak, grassy/hay through to citrus and lime flavours as young wines. It demands time in bottle, and rewards by developing from a zesty, grassy, lime and lemony youth, to a crescendo of palate pleasing richness, hinting at the likes of honey, roasted nuts and buttered toast, at 5 to 20 years of age.

Brokenwood was founded in the early 1970’s by a trio of Sydney-based solicitors ~ Tony Albert, John Beeston and James Halliday. Iain Riggs joined Brokenwood in 1982, introducing new winery equipment and facilities specifically for premium white wine production. At five to ten years Hunter Semillon takes on a green-gold hue and rich toasty characters. ILR Reserve is only released at five years of age.

Riesling Australia & New Zealand Riesling has an ability to mature with age as well as delight with its youthful freshness. In addition to the famous Clare or Eden Valleys of South Australia, which develop this grape’s classic honey, toast & citrus characters with age, there are more fine examples of Riesling from Western Australia’s Great Southern region (great complexity), from Tasmania (crisp and perfumed) and the Barossa Valley (more rounded and full-flavoured) – wineaustralia.com

John and Catherine Thomson planted their vineyard in 1975 at Crawford River, in far south-west Victoria. The Crawford River vineyard lies at the alluvial edge of a volcanic lava flow with a mineral-rich soil base. The 11.5 Ha vineyard are mainly planted with Riesling and Cabernet.

Chenin Blanc The most famous Chenin Blanc comes from the beautiful village of Vouvray in France’s Loire Valley. These wines can age magnificently for decades and have been known to remain in prime condition for more than a century. The wine develops richness, complexity and depth over time but will never lose its fresh and fruit driven character.

The cellar of the Domaine Marc Brédif, which dates back to the 10th century, is one of the most famous cellars in the Loire. In 2km of caves, one million bottles of Vouvray slowly mature, some well over 100 years old. The winery is owned and operated by the Baron de Ladoucette, who maintains exceptionally high standards throughout his wines; his are considered to be some of the finest examples of Vouvray.

White Burgundy, France The Chardonnay of France’s Burgundy region is often expensive, but frequently worthwhile. Considered by many to be the world’s greatest expression of the grape, its renown goes back many centuries; in 1522 Erasmus wrote: "O happy Burgundy which merits being called the mother of men since she furnishes from her mammaries such a good milk”. This was echoed by Shakespeare, who refers in King Lear to "the vines of France and milk of Burgundy".

The most sublime and the most celebrated estate of Chablis, the wines of Domaine Raveneau are a rare find exceptional because the vineyard holdings are almost entirely made of grand cru and premier cru fruit, painfully finite as so few are produced, outstanding because of their tremendous quality and consistency, and unusual given the modesty of the vignerons who create these world-class wines. – Kermit Lynch

Pinot Meunier Pinot Meunier has a longer history in Australian wine production than Pinot noir. It is best known as a component in the classic Champagne blend, however, in the Grampians region of Victoria, Pinot Meunier was known at one time as Miller's Burgundy and used to make still red varietal wine. Pinot Meunier produces aromatic, lightly coloured red wine with crisp acid, red berry fruit flavours & distinct smoky notes that dominate as the wine ages.

Best’s Millers Burgundy vineyard, first planted in 1868, was made up of about 85% Pinot Meunier and the rest was Pinot Noir. In the early 70’s, 11 rows of 100% Pinot Meunier were replanted next to the original vineyard. Today the grapes are hand- picked and sorted, aged in French oak and made with meticulous care. It is the earliest picked red wine at Best’s with a lighter bodied profile, slightly woodier profile than its old clone Pinot Noir sibling. The Best’s Old Vine Pinot Meunier is the ultimate wine that speaks of place; it has a cult following, particularly in the wine community and the wine trade where people understand how rare this varietal planting is. – bestswines.com

Pinot Noir Australia What’s a delicate, pernickety grape like this doing in a sun-drenched robust country like Australia, you might ask. You’d be asking a good question. Pinot Noir is a challenge to grow in any part of the world. What’s now emerged is a handful of Pinot Noir styles all Australia’s own and a proud group they are too. Being a cool climate variety, growers in the coolest regions are seeing great success; that’s in regions like the Adelaide Hills, Tasmania, Mornington Peninsula, Geelong, the Yarra Valley and Great Southern. In these regions the wines tend to come out strawberry / raspberry- fruited when young, then get progressively more mushroomy and savoury with age. The best styles of all come from vines with a little age, which haven’t been harvested too heavily and from wines given a gentle maturation in oak barrels. - wineaustralia.com

Produced from what are amongst the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the Yarra Valley, Yarra Yering Pinot Noir has developed an underground following over its existence that is slowly becoming recognised as an equal alongside the historically more ‘fancied’ wines from the estate.

Red Burgundy, France Grand Cru

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Considered to be the finest estate in Burgundy and even the world, there is no other wine that can seduce like Domaine de la Romanée-Conti; also known as ‘DRC’ and ‘The Domaine’. All vineyards are farmed bio-dynamically. Romanée Conti : Undisputable ‘Pearl of Burgundy’, as it has been called since 1794. Only one person is allowed to prune the vines of this small, 1.6 hectare vineyard which produces the pinnacle wine of the estate. A wine with supreme finesse, elegance & complexity. It is rich and concentrated yet ethereal & sublime. Only around 450 cases are produced each year.

La Tâche : Holding a remarkable reputation for producing great pinot even in the vintages considered to be difficult. It was the only wine produced by the Domaine in the lesser vintages of 1950 & 51. La Tâche is said to be a more flamboyant wine than Romanée Conti. It has a great intensity, colour and structure, a result of vines with an average age of 47 years.

Richebourg : Just under half the vineyard (3.51 hectares out of 8.03) belongs to The Domaine, spread over several plots. This is always a robust wine, deep in colour, sometimes equal to the desirable La Tâche. Richebourg is structured yet rich and brimming with sweet fruit and incredible length.

Romanée-Saint-Vivant : The Domaine is the largest holder of land in Romanée-Saint-Vivant and in the last 10 years this vineyards reputation has grown to rival Richebourg. Described by the Domaine as flirtatious : one cannot help loving it. Behind this grace resides a strength in such perfect balance that, at first, it was imperceptible.

Échézeaux : Sourced mostly from Les Poulaillères, considered to be one of the best vineyards within the grand cru. This is the most accessible wine of the Domaine; in price and because the wine is approachable in its youth with fullness and finesse.

Iconic Australian Shiraz Australia has many wines worthy of the ‘Iconic’ title, below are just a few.

Shiraz (the same grape as Syrah in France’s Rhône Valley) was one of the first vine varieties to arrive in Australia in 1832. So at home was it on its new turf, plantings prospered and it wasn’t long before the local population began to take it for granted. However, by the 1980s people had begun to realise how versatile it could be, its character changed depending on the region in which it was grown. - Wineaustralia.com

Grange is sourced from Kalimna in the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Adelaide (Magill) and Padthaway in South Australia. Penfolds Grange displays fully ripe, intensely flavoured and textured Shiraz grapes in combination with new American oak. The Grange style is the original and most powerful expression of Penfolds' multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy. The vintages below are listed by Langton’s as 9 or 10/10 in quality.

Hill of Grace is a single historic vineyard located in the Eden Valley of South Australia. The century-old Shiraz vines were planted around the 1860s by an ancestor, Nicolaus Stanitzki. This 100% pre-phylloxera Shiraz vineyard lies opposite an old Lutheran Church, built of local stone, which was euphoniously named Gnadenberg, meaning ‘Hill of Grace’.

Torbreck Vintners was founded by David Powell in 1994. The flag-ship wine, RunRig, is a wine that exhibits so much power and latent richness some say that it could easily be mistaken for the hugely concentrated wines sourced from the sun drenched hill of Hermitage in France.

The newest super-premium to join the Torbreck line up is The Laird. This vineyard is perfect in every way. It is South East facing, completely dry grown, meticulously hand tended, farmed by a grower with a lifetime's experience, on typical Western Barossa soil - brown loam over red clay over limestone - and planted with one of the original Barossa clones. However, this vineyard also has an "X factor" which gives the wine an extra something that cannot be fully explained. The resulting small, concentrated berries produced consistently on the property make it the envy of all the winemakers in the valley. - torbreck.com

The late Jim Barry was a pioneer of the Australian wine industry. He was the first qualified winemaker to work in the Clare Valley of South Australia and with his wife, Nancy, built a successful wine business which has produced trophy-winning wines since its establishment in 1959. Today, the company is headed by Jim’s second son Peter, who took over from his father as Managing Director. –jimbarry.com

Winemaker Tim Kirk's ethereal and evocative Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier is perhaps one of the most important advances in the development of Australian Shiraz since the release of 1952 Penfolds Grange Hermitage. Clonakilla, meaning "Meadow of the Church" and located in a gently south facing fold of the cool southern tablelands at Murrumbateman near Canberra, was established by CSIRO research scientist John Kirk in 1971. Fourth son Tim is a theologian turned winemaker, learning his craft from his father and mentors Bailey Carrodus of Yarra Yering and Phillip Jones of Bass Phillip – Andrew Caillard MW

Cabernet Sauvignon Australia has been growing Cabernet Sauvignon for more than 100 years and our own Langhorne Creek region is home to the world’s oldest officially recorded Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard – 2 acres planted in 1891. It was the region of Coonawarra, in the 1970s, which first brought international attention to Australia’s version of this grape with its intense fruit flavours & a rich, seductive palate. Many regions now produce excellent ‘Cab Sav’ which can happily age for many years & develop those cigar box, spice & cassis notes that the varietal is famous for.

Bordeaux, France Typically known as Claret in the UK, France’s Bordeaux is the home of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This region of France produces the famous ‘First Growths’, a classification from 1855 which lists the top ranked wines; some of which are the most expensive Cabernet based wines in the world. Château Léoville Las-Cases is said to be the pre-eminent estate in all St Julien. Considered the first challenger to the first growths. In 2008, a Cornell University study suggested that it should be promoted to first growth status; an opinion based on ratings of the wine over 35 vintages, from 1970 to 2005.

Iconic Spanish Reds

Spains most prestigious wine estate, Bodegas Vega-Sicilia, was founded in 1864 by Don Eloy Lecanda y Chaves. He planted Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec) in the arid Ribera soils, as well as the local grape, Tinto Fino. The Bodega, which is located to the east of Valladolid, now has 140 hectares of vines. The estate's top wine, Único, is aged for up to 10 years in a mixture of French and American wood, both large wooded vats and new barriques. Valbuena 5◦ is released after 5 years of ageing. The wines of Vega Sicilia are renowned for their complexity, intensity and longevity and are amongst the finest in the world

The team at Roda are not merely dedicated, they are detail-obsessed. Perhaps the most impressive (mahogany-scented) winery to set foot in; everything is about the production and retention of grape quality - the modern approach to wine through viticulture is nowhere given more commitment. All of the fruit is off vineyards in excess of 30 years (some up to 80 years old), grown organically. Fermentation in foudre, and aged in French barrels, with a minimum of oxidative handling, and neither filtered nor fined. Significantly, each vintage is made "on its merits" - work levels, style, etc are responses to vintage realities - not applications of a recipe. – The Spanish Acquisition

Spanish Reds

Spain produces some exciting, world class red wines from regions such as Rioja & Ribera del Duero famous for their rich and savoury Tempranillo production. Rioja Alta is known more for its "old world" style of wine, which can tend to be a little lighter; the Rioja Alavesa produces wines with a fuller body & higher acidity; and the Rioja Baja wines are very deeply coloured and can be highly alcoholic with some wines at 18% abv. Ribera del Duero & Rioja Tempranillo are complex wines capable of long aging. Priorat produces strong, intensely coloured and flavoured red wines that come from old, low yielding vineyards. Monstant, which surrounds the Priorat, tend to produce wines of a more refined character but equally complex; both use among others the Cariñena, Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah grapes.

Barolo & Barbaresco Italy’s Noble Twins Among the most enticing Italian wines, Barolo and Barbaresco of northern Italy’s Piedmont can be the most sublime and the most difficult to appreciate. Both are crafted from the thick-skinned, late-ripening Nebbiolo grape, which has proven unforgiving to almost anyone who tries to grow it anywhere but its native Piedmont. Extremely robust with aromas reminiscent of black fruits, tar & leather; high in both tannin and acidity, it takes an experienced hand to produce really great Nebbiolo that is both enjoyable in its youth & capable of refinement with extended aging.

The Gaja winery, located in the village of Barbaresco in the Langhe area of the region of Piedmont, in Italy, was founded in 1859. Angelo Gaja, perhaps the most influential individual in Italian wines over the last 30 years, came from a family of wine makers, but it is probably not true to say that Angelo followed in his father's footsteps. For Angelo Gaja has set his own standards. Gaja revolutionised the wine business in Barbaresco and beyond. The word ‘Sorì’ means a hilltop with a southern exposure. ‘Sperss’ is Piedmontese for nostalgia, used in reference to a return to making Barolo after several years of absence. ‘Costa Russi’ is a single vineyard acquired by the Gaja family in 1967. The name comes from the term "costa", the side of a hill facing the sun, and "Russi" a nickname of the previous owner.

Sauternes The Ultimate Dessert Wine The powerfully sweet & luscious wines of Sauternes in the Bordeaux region of France produce some of the most sought after dessert wines in the world. A result of the misty Ciron River, Botrytis cinerea (Noble rot), hand picking, elite winemaking and a combination of the grapes - Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc & Muscadelle, produce these great wines.

No other sweet wine has ever come close to achieving the prestige accorded to Château D'Yquem, for centuries it has been a favourite of many famous names, notably American Thomas Jefferson who ordered several hundred bottles of the 1784. D’Yquem’s reputation rests on elegance and poise. There is no other.

Liquid Sunshine The Muscat & Topaque from north-east Victoria are truly one of Australia’s “gifts” to the word of wine. These rich and textural wines are sometimes described as “liquid sunshine”, as the grapes are generally left on the vine much longer than usual. This allows the berries to store more natural sugar while drying out slightly in the warmth of Australia’s autumn days. Rutherglen Muscat & Topaque are classified under four descriptions that mark a progression in richness, complexity and intensity of flavour. Formerly named Tokay, in 2007, under the terms of the Australia-European Community Agreement on Trade in Wine, Australia agreed to cease using certain European names, including Tokay. A new name was then created and ‘Topaque’ was born; the same in every other way, only the name has changed. ‘Rutherglen’ – is the foundation of the style; displaying the fresh raisin aromas, rich fruit, clean spirit and great length of flavour on the palate which are the mark of all the fortifieds of Rutherglen. Average age 2-5 years. Residual sweetness 180-240 grams per litre. ‘Classic’ – displays a greater level of richness and complexity, produced through the blending of selected parcels of wine, often matured in various sizes of oak cask to impart the distinctive dry ‘rancio’ characters produced from maturation in seasoned wood. Average age 5-10 years. Residual sweetness 200-280 grams per litre. ‘Grand’– takes the flavour of Rutherglen fortifieds to a still higher plane of development, displaying a new level of intensity, depth and concentration of flavour, mature rancio characters, and a complexity which imparts layers of texture and flavour. Average age 10-15 years. Residual sweetness 270-400 grams per litre. ‘Rare’– is rare by name and by nature. These are the pinnacle – fully developed and displaying the extraordinary qualities that result from the blending of selected parcels of only the very richest, and most complete wines in the cellar. Rare Rutherglen fortifieds are only bottled in tiny quantities each year, but for those privileged to taste them, these are wines of breathtaking complexity, texture and depth of flavour. Minimum age 20+ years. Residual sweetness 270-400 grams per litre

Madeira Bottled The islands of Madeira have a long winemaking history and their fortified wines are some of the longest lived wines in the world, even after opening. Madeira is noted for its unique winemaking process which involves heating the wine up to temperatures as high as 60 degrees for an extended period of time and deliberately exposing the wine to some levels of oxidation, this replicates the historic sea journeys the wines used to take for sale in the UK. The styles of these luscious and complex fortified wines vary from the bone dry Sercial, followed by Terrantez (nowadays this varietal is practically extinct) to Bual (or Boal) and Verdelho to the sweetest style, Malvasia sometimes known as Malmsey.

A privately owned company dating back to 1850, Henriques & Henriques are the leading independent Madeira. These extremely rare wines were shipped directly from the cellars.

Cognac 30mls One of the world’s most exceptional Cognacs, from one of the most well know and innovative producers; Richard Hennessy is made up of more than 100 of the most exceptional eaux de vie, some of which date from the early 19th century. Each one has been selected for its unique qualities. Balanced and complex, the rich bouquet slowly releases a succession of aromas that have built up over the years: vanilla, spices, pepper and delicately fragrant flowers. In the mouth, the infinitely refined texture reveals an extraordinary palette of flavours that blends spices, the subtle essence of ripe fruit and the finesse of oak.

Australian Wine Regions Australia has about 60 wine regions located across the country with 103 “defined geographic indications” for wine growing districts covering zones, regions and sub-regions. The following States and zones described are of the regions most represented on the glass wine list.

New South Wales was the first State to grow the grapevine, and is home to 5 of Australia’s oldest wine companies and/or continuously operating wine brands; Wyndam Estate (1928); Lindemans (1843); Draytons Family Wines (1853); Mudgee Wines (1856) and Tyrrell’s (1858). Boasting an incredibly diverse range of climates, NSW is famous for many varieties, including Semillon in a style unique to Australia.

Western Australia Two decades ago, Margaret River was better known for the classic surf break lying not far from the junction of river and sea but entrepreneurs have driven the development of vineyards and wineries that have overcome the State’s geographic isolation and carved their mark not just within Australia but around the world. This region has become known for zesty Sauvignon Blancs, fine Chardonnay, superlative Cabernet Sauvignons and bold Zinfandel.

Victoria is tucked into the south-eastern corner of the Australian mainland. It has many diverse regions. The warm-climate regions span the northern and western rim of Victoria and include the Murray Darling, Swan Hill and Rutherglen, which has carved a reputation for unique fortified wine styles such as Muscat. These wines boast

Victoria

hedonistic sweet fruit flavours concentrated through long dry autumns. Victoria’s other wine regions are general cooler than those of the States to the north and west. One example is the Yarra Valley region, just half an hour’s drive from Melbourne, which produces, among others, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines of elegance and incredible delicacy.
