Devils Creek Sauvignon Blanc
Imagine honeydew melon, fresh green apples and hints of lemon. Prepare to be surprised!
Delatite Estate Riesling
The fruit was hand-picked in early April, the whole bunch pressed and allowed to briefly settle. This removes the heavy solids from the juice, whilst retaining many of the lighter solids that are a wonderful source of nutrient for the yeast. A small portion of the wine was fermented in large old oak vessels to add some further complexity to the wine. All of the juice was fermented by our natural wild yeasts and then racked off its lees at the end of fermentation. The wine was prepared for bottling without any further manipulation, other than filtration to retain the pristine character of our delicate Riesling. The nose of this wine shows lovely delicate floral aromatics that are typical of all Delatite Rieslings whilst the palate has layers of lemon rind and lemon blossom with fine talcy structure and a fresh acid finish. This wine can be drunk in its youth, but like all great Rieslings, it will age easily for ten years. Should be wonderful for up to twenty years, developing fabulous toasty honey characters, that Riesling is famous for.
Hungerford Hill Tumbarumba Chardonnay
Hungerford Hill is a premium Hunter Valley winery, but they have a long history of making prestige wines from NSW's cool Tumbarumba region. This one shows the region's cool, crisp, citrus and nectarine rich style off to perfection. So much so that it won Gold AND the Trophy at the Canberra Wine Show! Now that's impressive!
Wicks Estate Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc
"Intensity is the key. The burst of tropical fruit flavour is impressive. It's cool and pure like driven snow, a tickle of lemongrass-like flavour helping it all to extend out through the finish. Value almost goes without saying."
Delatite Estate Pinot Gris
Jim Barry Clare Valley Assyrtiko
A founding member of Australia’s First Families of Wine, Jim Barry is a legendary Clare Valley out t. Its wines run the gamut of styles (and prices) from the renowned Jim Barry Watervale Riesling ($20) through to the magnf cent ‘Armagh’ Shiraz ($325). Assyrtiko is a lipsmacking white variety originally from Greece, now grown in Clare, in this exciting first. A tantalising taste of Santorini, Australian-style – delicious! “Garrique bush and flowers bouquet; the vines have grown another dimension, as has the flavour intensity, which is almost shocking - sour lemon, fresh-cut herbs, red apple... 94pts” (Halliday).
Riposte The Foil Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc
Tim Knappstein is a legend of the wine industry and his wines always impress. This one comes from two vineyards in the beautiful Adelaide Hills at Carey Gully and Piccadilly. It's bright, intense and mouthwateringly delicious. Look forward to piercing flavours of snowpea and passionfruit combined with a mineral edge and delicious citrus. Superb.
Infamous Dodger Fiano
The artistic expression of alternative artists distance themself from the contemporary, worrying not about official trends, but focusing on creative freedom. Infamously dodging the law, paving the way for underground excellence and painting bold dreamscapes of colour. Our winemakers have crafted these wines using alternative varieties and methods, creating fresh and approachable blends unique in their style. This vibrant Fiano exhibits citrus blossom, melon and pear aromas, which continue on the palate leaving layers of flavour and a long, crisp mouthwatering finish. Best enjoyed when paired with a plate of seafood.
Sauvignon Blanc Six
Citrussy, grassy and oh-so-refreshing … there is something very moreish about a good Sauvignon Blanc. Taste three from Australia (including a stunning Margaret River beauty from 5 Red Star Byron and Harold) plus two top-selling NZ stars: the sunshine-rich Split Rock Nelson Sauvignon Blanc, and the lipsmacking Hole in the Clouds from Marlborough. Those passionfruit, herbs and citrus characters are just SO mouthwateringly good!
Estate Range Chardonnay
A deliciously fresh Chardonnay full of peaches and cream flavours and aromas of stone fruit with a crisp minerally finish. Serve chilled and enjoy with roast chicken or BBQ prawns.
