Sticks Pinot Grigio
Pooley Butcher’s Hill Cane Cut Riesling
Pooley Wines has an historical property and two separate vineyards at each end of the Coal River Valley in southern Tasmania. The Coal River Valley has developed a worldwide reputation, and is ideally suited, for the production of cool-climate wines such as Pinot Noir, Riesling and Chardonnay. Members of the Pooley family have been actively involved in the business for three generations. Their longstanding passion and commitment to fine wine are your assurance of un-compromising quality. The first sweet Riesling to be made from the Butchers Hill vineyard at Richmond, adjacent to the cellar door. The fruit was handpicked in the early hours of the morning. The fruit was whole bunch pressed with juice then returned onto skins and soaked overnight. An inoculated ferment (PDM strain) for a total of 15 days with 5 months maturation on fine lees in stainless steel prior to bottling.
Scorpo Pinot Gris
Scorpo produces another excellent example of Pinot Gris from the Mornington Peninsula. Lifted aromas of pear apricot and green apple lead into a palate rich and silky in texture, the flavours showing depth and complexity, the acidity in perfect balance.
Babo Pinot Grigio
The fruit was entirely hand-harvested and allowed 6 hours skin contact in the press before fermentation was carried out at cool temperatures to maximise fruit expression. This wine shows all the hallmarks of easy-going, classic Italian Pinot Grigio; subtle grapefruit and underlying floral and spice notes on the nose followed by citrus and peach flavours bound together by a tight minerality.
Frogmore Creek Riesling
Frogmore Creek from Southern Tasmania is about as pure an expression of cool climate Riesling on could hope to find. A beautifully structured Riesling with elegant citrus flavours and vibrant acidity. Put it away for a while and reap the rewards.
Te Kairanga Estate Pinot Gris
Established in Martinborough nearly 30 years ago, the vineyards are planted on free draining, alluvial soils and are naturally low yielding, allowing concentration of flavours and intensity. this wine combines pear and spice aromas with a generous fruit d
Printhie Mountain Range Pinot Gris
Established in 1996, Printhie has quickly garnered a repuation for quality cool climate wines, even picking up a 5 star rating from James Halliday. Pinot Gris is well suited here with luscious honeysuckle flavours balanced with bracing acidity. Textural mouthfeel adds to the mix of what is a wine to keep an eye on!
Frogmore Creek Iced Riesling
Made with a nod to the great wines of Germany and Austria, this bright sweet Riesling based wine is loaded with orange zest, lemon blossom. Luscious, sweet stone fruit and ripe apple flavours linger indefinitely, nourished by characteristic cool climate mineral acid. Perfectly matched with Lemon Curd tarts.
Mt Difficulty Roaring Meg Pinot Gris
This great Pinot Gris from Mt Difficulty has aromatics reminiscent of a fruit cocktail full of stone fruit, melon and green mango. These characters are richly replicated on the palate, with a full-textured mid palate and an off-dry finish. Delicious.
Contentious Character Pinot Gris
All the hallmarks of classic cool climate Pinto Gris, but blessed with the nuances of fruit character, brought out by the Aussie sun, and lightly oaked.
