Wines, Beers and other Imbibements
We are very proud to have received a
Two Wine Glass Rating (Excellent) from
Gourmet Traveller Wine for the last two
years in a row and we continue to push
and develop our list each year in an effort
to improve.
As to other beverages beers, ciders, fortified wines,
spirits and liqueurs we love them all. We have tried
here to give you a list that has both depth and breadth
so you can try all sorts of new drinks you may never have
seen before. Feel free to ask about something if you are
unsure or just go ahead and experiment!
a bit about our drinks list . . .
Cheers! Ian and Al
Here at The Avoca we are passionate about both food and drink.
We strongly believe that to really enjoy food at its best
you need to combine it with the right beverage. Similarly,
to get the most from a wine or craft beer and appreciate
all of its complexities, you need to accompany it with
good food.
We also firmly believe in supporting local producers
wherever we can. Thats why nearly every wine in our list
is from the local regions and why so many of the beers
are regional too. It is also one of the reasons why we use
a great many locally sourced ingredients in our cooking.
But we dont support local wines just for the sake of it;
the wines of the Pyrenees/Grampians region are fantastic.
They have unique qualities that set them apart from
other Australian wines and so we commend them to you
and hope that you enjoy them as much as we do.

Blue Pyrenees Estate Cuve Riche
Clover Hill Cuve Ros
Tamar Valley, Tasmania
Although the fruit is from Tasmania, this wine is made right here in the
Pyrenees by Taltarni. Because it is so good, we have decided to include it in

Blue Pyrenees Estate Viognier
These Rhone varieties are also set to do well here in the Victorian Pyrenees.
The wine is lovely and buttery but with great acid balance and length.
Quartz Hill ViognierUnctuous and delicious, this wine displays all of the hallmarks of great
Viognier. This variety has a great future here in the Pyrenees.
Dalwhinnie Moonambel Viognier
Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Pinot Gris
Best's Great Western RieslingGrampians, Victoria
Blue Pyrenees Estate Chardonnay
Dalwhinnie The Hut Chardonnay
A savoury mix of 79% Sauv Blanc and 21% Riesling with extended skin contact
to yield the first Orange wine from the Pyrenees.
Pyren Vineyard Little Ra Ra Roopa
Grampians, Victoria
The benchmark for Pyrenees Chardonnay. Beautiful balance between fruit and
oak. Oozes class.
M. Chapoutier Domaine Tournon Landsborough Riesling
Blue Pyrenees Estate Sauvignon Blanc
Taltarni Fum Sauvignon Blanc
White Wines(all from the Victorian Pyrenees unless noted otherwise)
Mount Langi Ghiran Cliff Edge Riesling
Dog Rock Reserve Riesling
Good example of Pyrenees Riesling, with delicious fruit, citrus overtones and
good acidity. Nice weight on the palate.
Grampians, Victoria
Crisp and fresh with lovely forward fruit. Typical herbaceous characters of
Sauvignon Blanc. Great with seafood.
A more full-bodied style named after the Sauvignon Blanc wines from the
Pouilly Fum region in France. The wine spends some time in charred oak
barrels giving it a different structure and palate.
