Patrick Of Coonawarra Block 5 Aged Riesling
A tribute to Patrick Tocaciu, our founder, a master and lover of Riesling. A Multi award winning wine and unique style, one that is rarely seen on shelves. Grown in our northern most Coonawarra vineyard. Block 5 Aged is only made in vintages that suit its style, it is bottled soon after harvest and cellared for a minimum of 5 years prior to release. This wine showcases Rieslings natural journey from a fresh, fruity wine in its youth to a complex, textural and toasty Riesling in its age. Cellar for as many years as you can resist, it will only get better. Tasting Note: This Riesling shows intense aromas of citrus, lanolin & a distinctive toasty character. The palate is delicately layered showing lime blossom & a wonderful mouth feel that extends to a crisp finish. Winemaker’s Note: Fresh & fruity in it’s youth, now displaying the unique characteristics & distinguished flavours that a well made Riesling can. This Riesling has been cellared for 7 years before release and will live for another 20 plus. Vintage Note: We had good winter rainfall followed by a warmer than average Spring. This brought forward flowering by two weeks and lead to moderate bunch numbers with small berries. A cool Summer then allowed the vines to catch up and a slow, even ripening period followed. Overall a strong vintage with excellent cellaring potential.
RIESLINGFREAK NO. 14 WATERVALE RIESLING
Rieslingfreak is indeed ‘a freak’, and not simply because of its rarity as an Australian winemaker focused on a single variety. A collection of wines, each given its own number to represent a different style, region or vineyard. The home of the No.14 is a single vineyard at Watervale in the Clare Valley, a region renowned for producing Riesling of richness and elegance. This wine may be enjoyed in its youth, but will also reward long-term cellaring.
Logan Ridge of Tears Riesling
The Ridge of Tears Orange Riesling has a perfume of orange blossom, lime leaf, lavender, mandarin peel and wet stone. The sleek palate has a seamless flow with flavours of lime cordial, red apple and ginger before a bright, long finish.
CELEBRATION MIX FEIRE Blanc de Blancs sparkling white X3 FEIERN Cuvée Noir sparkling red X3
Feire and Feiern, named aptly to evoke celebration and festivity in German, offer a delightful journey into the world of sparkling wines crafted with precision and tradition. Feire, a sparkling blanc des blancs, invites enthusiasts into the realm of pure elegance. Made exclusively from the white grape, Chardonnay, it embodies freshness and finesse. Its creation through the méthode traditionelle, where secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle, followed by aging on lees for three years, results in a wine of complexity and depth. This process lends Feire a characteristic creamy texture and nuanced flavors that unfold with every sip, making it an ideal companion for joyous occasions. On the other hand, Feiern, a Cuvee Noir, celebrates with a blend that exudes richness and vibrancy. Crafted from a blend of red grapes, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, it promises a palate of red fruit notes intertwined with the signature effervescence of traditional method sparkling wines. Aged on lees for three years, Feiern develops a captivating bouquet and a refined structure that amplifies its role in festive gatherings and special moments. Both wines, steeped in the heritage of méthode traditionelle, offer not only a taste of luxury but also a tribute to meticulous craftsmanship. Their names reflect not just the Zerk sisters German heritage, but also a commitment to enhancing celebratory occasions with sparkling wines that are as delightful as they are memorable. Whether it's the purity of Feire's blanc des blancs or the exuberance of Feiern's Cuvee Noir, these sparkling wines embody the essence of celebration in every effervescent bubble.
