the tank wine story “when there is plenty of wine, sorrow & worry take wing.”
ovid - roman poet, (43 BC-17 AD) in the art of love
at the heart of the tank wine list is the principle that with good food & good company should come good wine. every bottle has been chosen for a particular reason, whether it be to complement one of tony & janes’ dishes, to highlight a beautiful expression of terroir, or to showcase the outstanding quality of the wine itself. we have searched the world over to bring you some of our favourite wines, from the strong traditions of france to the new world domination of australia,& new zealand to many places in between. whether you’re searching for intensity, restraint, dry, off dry, full bodied or lighter styles we are confident you will find something special to enjoy. with such a strong french influence we have divided the list into varietal sections, allowing for some ease of use & clarification for those just beginning to explore french wine. one final word - the use of sustainable practices such as organic & bio-dynamic production has been a key deliberation in the creation of the list. this ethic of sustainability has long been a motivator whether we are choosing wine or seafood. sustainability is about the capacity to endure – how biological systems remain diverse & productive over time. sustainability is the potential for long-term maintenance of well being which has environmental, economic & social dimensions. believing in this fact we have made note of all organic & biodynamic vinified wines. we ask you to sit back, relax and enjoy your journey with good food, good friends & good wine. cath quick & the tank team
note: we have searched far & wide for some of our import & vintage wines & therefore we may only have limited stock, vintages are subject to change.
