Michael Fragos grew up in McLaren Vale, and spent 14 years at Tatachilla before taking over at Chapel Hill in 2004. A three-time ‘Bushing King’, Michael has also been named best winemaker on the planet! James Halliday notes that his “wine quality is unfailingly excellent” . This one has an expressive nose of blackcurrant, bay leaf cigar box and chocolate. The palate is medium to full-bodied, beautifully structured, with a powerful complexity, fine-grained tannins, velvety texture and long, long finish.

Coffee-mocha and dark berry nose, good gentle tannins frame flavoursome generous fruit flavours. An excellent wine at this price.

The ripe Roussanne grapes for this wine were obtained from the estates Certified Biodynamic vineyard in Kangarilla, McLaren Vale. Poured into a glass, the wine shows a bright and clear colour. The luxurious bouquet exudes aromas of honey and almonds enhanced by apricot nuances. A sip of the wine reveals its juicy palate offering stone fruit, honeysuckle, almond and citrus flavours. The finish is savoury, marked by honey nut cornflake characters. Enjoy it with roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes or pork preparations.

An excellent food wine, it matches well with just about any foods you might match a dry white wine to, but fresh white seafood dishes (white fish, squid, prawns & crabs) are perhaps the best accompaniment to this wine.
