Great news, wine lovers! Two of our very own Santolin Wines have made it into the Halliday Wine Companion’s Top 38 Wines Under $30. That’s right - exceptional wine that doesn’t break the bank. We’ll cheers to that!
First up, our 2023 Cosa Nostra Arneis. This crisp and vibrant white is a bit of a hidden gem, but it’s certainly making waves now! With its bright citrus notes, a touch of almond and that beautifully refreshing finish, it’s the perfect companion for sunny afternoons and seafood feasts. If you haven’t tried Arneis before, this is your sign.
“Whole-bunch pressed into older barrels for fermentation and 4 months' maturation on lees. Instantly appealing and varietally on-point with its aromas of lemon pith, white flowers and almond. Fleshy and textural yet nicely balanced on the lingering finish. Very nicely done.”

Then, there’s our newly released 2020 Cosa Nostra Il Capo. Bold, smooth and packed with juicy dark fruit, it’s a red that delivers serious flavour without the hefty price tag. Think plush berries, a hint of spice and a velvety texture that keeps you coming back for more. Whether you’re pairing it with a hearty meal or enjoying a glass on its own, this one’s a winner.
“90/10% nero d'Avola/negroamaro fermented with whole berries and matured in 1–2-year-old barrels. A light, bright ruby red. Aromas of red cherries, dried herbs and just a hint of lavender leads onto a light- to medium-bodied, juicy and refreshing palate. A wine to drink and enjoy over the next couple of years with pasta and the like.”

We’re beyond thrilled to see our wines recognised for their quality and value. It’s proof that great wine doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
If you haven’t already, grab yourself a bottle (or two) and taste what all the fuss is about! And if you have? Well, go ahead and pour yourself another glass - you clearly have great taste.
Cheers!
