<p><b>Chateau Batailley</b></p> Chateau Batailley is a 5th growth classified estate, located in the appellation of Pauillac on the left bank of Bordeaux. Owned by the Castéja family of négociants Borie-Manoux, it is one of the oldest estates in the Medoc. The name Batailley derives from the French word "bataille" (battle). It is thought that a battle did indeed take place in 1453 during the 100-years war, in the exact location of the property. Chateau Batailley has 55 hectares of vineyard holdings planted to 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. A solid, reliable Pauillac, Chateau Batailley is known for its classic, slightly austere style and structure. Improvements in viticultural practices over the last few years have seen the wine display a greater emphasis of fruit.

<p><strong>Serrat</strong></p> <p>Serrat is the boutique family label of renowned winemaker Tom Carson and his wife Nad&egrave;ge. Located near the township of Yarra Glen in the Yarra Valley, their small vineyard holdings consist of 0.8ha each of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, 0.4ha of Shiraz, and a small amount of Viognier. Serrat is a Catalonian word meaning close-planting and Serrat&rsquo;s vineyard is planted to 8800 vines per hectare, four times more than the average Australian density. Highly labour intensive, each vine grows enough grapes for about one bottle of wine a year.</p>
