Cofield Durif
Goldman WInes Alpine Valleys Shiraz
The fruit for this wine was sourced from Con Mara Vineyard in Whorouly South, Alpine Valleys, Victoria. The 3t of fruit was picked in early March and taken back to Beechworth for processing. The wine spent nearly 14 months in 4 x new 500L French Oak puncheons and has yielded a more full-bodied style than the 2013 vintage. This received a gold medal at the North East Victorian Wine Challenge; 94 Points Halliday Wine Companion, 92 Points The Wine Front; and 4 Stars in Winestate.
Chambers Rutherglen Muscat
Brilliant clarity, deep orange-gold colour with strawberry highlights. Fresh intense varietal aromas of Turkish Delight, musk, tea rose, vanilla, soft sweet spice, fruitcake, raisin, sultana, dried berries, and quince paste finishing with a subtle lift of spirit. Rich and flavoursome layers of fruit, extending those found on the nose (raisin, musk, dried plum, quince, vanilla and spice). Youthful, luscious finish with gentle warmth from spirit. Small yields of flavour packed fruit from Rosewoods aged Muscat à petits grains vines are aged and blended with other years to bring out the clean, fine fruit characteristics of this old favourite. Its young, cherry, caramel and coffee flavours can be savoured with, or in place of, dessert.
Chambers Old Vine Muscat Non-Vintage
Raison, and rose petal aromas with dried fruit and a hint of wood age. Palate of rose petals, fruit cake and raisons, fresh and lively with youthful primary fruit characters evident. Well balanced palate which is clean and fresh with a drying finish. The solera has been the recipient of barrels from the Rare Muscat solera, emptied but not washed so influence coming from remaining wine in the bottom of the barrels; not as much influence imparted as in the Old Vine Muscadelle situation. Tawny colour with a slight reddish/ brown hue on the edge. Founded in 1858 by William Chambers and situated just one kilometre west of Rutherglen, on the Corowa road. The original vineyards which were replanted after phylloxera attacked the area in the late 1890's now have some irrigation, and produce low tonnages with wonderful concentrated flavour. Rosewood's fifth generation winemaker Bill Chambers OAM, handed over to son Stephen in 2001. The proud tradition of winemaking continues from the rich old fortified wines made in the early 1900s by great grandfather Will Chambers who started off the wonderful Tokay and Muscat blends which today are renowned throughout the world. The Rare Muscat and Rare Tokay consistently receive perfect, 100 out of 100 scores from the influential wine writer Robert Parker Junior of the Wine Spectator who refers to Bill as the "Master of the Fortified wine business of Australia".
De Bortoli Rutherglen Estate Sangiovese
Fruit was sourced from the De Bortoli-owned Shelleys Vineyard on the eastern edge of the Rutherglen region, and 2021 provided a superb vintage.Deep, dark red. Savoury, earthy & rustic aromas of tobacco, forest floor, dark berries and herbs. Sweet fruit & oak entry in a juicy & fleshy style with red plum, roasted tomato & oregano, long tannins & balanced oak. A jubey young-drinker.
St Leonards Hip Sip Tawny
The wine has a tawny colour with hints of red. The aroma is a mix of ripe berry fruit, with rancio characters from extended barrel maturation. On the palate there is ripe fruit giving a generous mouth feel with hints of vanilla and chocolate. The wine has an attractive drying finish.
St Leonards Hip Sip Muscat
The wine has a rich amber colour. With aromas of raisins, candied peel and spice with notes of sweet butterscotch. The palate is intense showing the benefit of time in barrel with concentrated fruit and lovely balanced sweetness. Hip Sip does its ageing in the old oak barrels prior to bottling and will not age further in the bottle. Once opened it should be consumed in about a month.
Three Chain Road Elderflower Gin
Juniper - Elderflower - Orange - Angelica Root - Cucumber - Lavender - Rose Petals - Cassia Bark A distinctly floral Old Tom style Gin, created by infusing lavender, rose-petals and of course, elderflower. On the nose it is honeyed and floral , bursting with botanicals - a hint of spice comes from cassia bark. On the palate a soft sweetness is followed by flavours of rose petals and chamomile while delicate notes of lychee and green floral notes linger on the finish.
Three Chain Road Premium Dry Gin
Juniper - Orange - Star Anise - Lemon Myrtle - Angelica Root - Cardamom - Lemon Verbena - Bitter Almond Our take on a classic London Dry style Gin. With our Premium Dry Gin we wanted to create a product that is distinctly of Rutherglen. We use Angelica root to bring out a lovely aniseed note, that is reminiscent of fine aged Durif. This is complimented by native Australian botanicals like lemon myrtle and wattle seed. Juniper characters lead and are clean on the palate, flavours of licorice and lemon myrtle linger, adding a desirable length and warmness to this gin.
