Mt Lofty Ranges Vine Aspire Fumé Blanc
A sophisticated take on Sauvignon Blanc, crafted exclusively from estate-grown Lenswood fruit and aged for 6 months on lees in 3-4 yr old French oak. The result is a beautifully balanced wine that retains the vibrant, fruit driven aromatics of Sauvignon Blanc, think citrus and white peach, whilst retaining the distinctive herbaceous characteristics of the site. The seasoned French oak imparts a velvety texture, softens the acidity, and introduces a subtle savoury layer of nutty, smoky complexity. It's a more refined, food friendly expression of the variety, elegant, textural and undeniably grown up.

This Gewurztraminer is a heady, aromatic delight that practically leaps from the glass. Bursting with the classic perfume of lychee, sweet rose and Turkish delight, it's an intensely fragrant wine that delivers on every sip. The lush palate is layered with juicy melon, a hint of mango, and a whisper of ginger spice, creating a beautifully textured and balanced experience. A gentle touch of fruit sweetness greets the front palate, while fresh acidity on the finish keeps it bright and lifted, and endlessly drinkable. Exotic, expressive and utterly moreish.

Kanta Riesling
Smidge The Gruve Gruner Veltliner
In the glass the 2014 Gruner Veltliner, (or GruVe as we like to call it) is very pale straw with fine green hue. The nose is lifted with a flinty minerality and a loaf of citrus (more fresh limes than lemons) with a subtle herby peppery and floral notes. Again the citrus is prevalent on the palate followed by a fine peppery note. The mouth watering acidity combines with the fruit and peppery notes to deliver a long and fresh finish. Drink now or until 2025 with careful cellaring.

Heirloom Vineyards Adelaide Hills Pinot Grigio
"Faintly pinkish hue, as expected given some skin contact winemaking with this variety, as appears to be the case here. True to type aromas of brown-skinned pear and red-skinned apple with a savoury element providing some complexity. Clean and crisp on the palate, the sweetish fruit is well balanced by the acidity and a textural astringency which sits comfortably." 92 points, James Halliday Wine Companion, August 2017.
