The Swift family have lived on the Printhie property since 1978 and first planted vines in 1996 in the cool climate region of Orange. The fruit for Topography Chardonnay comes off a single vineyard (Bantry Grove) that sits at an altitude of almost 1000 metres. Modern Australian Chardonnay with the dark citrus fruit to the fore, complex but integrated French oak lurking in the background with hints of matchstick flint as well. Fresh acidity. Gentle tannins carry the flavour further along the palate with great persistence. Chardonnay is the standout white wine variety in the Orange Region with a distinctive regional style. High elevation vineyards accentuate this style. A gentle hand with high quality French oak adds depth and complexity. Finely structure with fresh acidity and precise dark citrus flavours rather than the big tropical, buttery style.

The Sauvignon Blanc offers intense passionfruit, guava and lime aromas with a hint of herbaceousness. The palate offers generous fruit flavours supported by crisp acid. The wine shows the potential of Sauvignon Blanc in Orange NSW. Good youthful straw colour. Delicate tropical nose exhibiting guava and lime. The palate is crisp, good mouth-feel, medium-full body, lovely zesty lime & lemon.

This wine is made from Albariño grapes carefully grown in the vineyards at Val do Salnés (valley of the salterns) in Galicia, where most vineyards and wineries congregate under the Denominación de Origen Rías Baixas. This grape variety is characterised by its small clusters, early ripening and medium vigour. They are remarkable for their pleasantly impressive fine and distinguished floral and fruity aromas, of a medium intensity and a medium-long finish.

Aged 15 months in oak, this wine displays green apple and hints of toasted oats on the nose, which comes through on the palate giving apple strudel flavours.

The first traces of the Hugel family in Alsace can be traced back to the XVth century. Some two centuries later, Hans Ulrich Hugel settled in Riquewihr, which had been devastated by the terrible Thirty Years War. In 1639 he was made a freeman of the city and soon took charge of the very powerful Corporation of Winegrowers. In 1672 his son built a fine house in the Rue des Cordiers, and over the doorway was carved the family crest which was the origin of the company’s logo still used today.

Single vineyard wines made from selecting the best possible parcel from the best blocks in the vineyard to produce a wine that is truly expressive of the variety, region and terroir. A no compromise approach to winemaking and blending produces wines that are the pinnacle of the Carillion range.

Printhie Sauvignon Blanc is like passionfruit sorbet., wonderfully clean and precise. Has all the drive and intensity of the very best Marlborough Savvy but with added complexity and interest. Get in on the ground floor with this region and it's aromatic white as it is going places in a hurry.

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!

Printhie Chardonnay is a great example of what Orange has to offer beautiful aromas of citrus and stone fruit with a well balnced palate of fine acidity and subtle French oak.
