A great example of Tasmanian Pinot Noir, there is an exciting nose bursting with cherries. The palate is medium bodied and elegant, just as it should be.

Coldstream Hills was established in 1985 by James and Suzanne Halliday and has always produced a benchmark cool-climate Pinot Noir. This beautifully textured wine boasts rich flavours of dark cherries, pepper and foresty notes, with a long and toasty finish.

From vines yielding less than 1 tonne/acre, 100% whole bunch, natural yeast ferment, 100% new oak. A powerful and structural Pinot Noir by Lethbridge. An unusual presentation of the MV6 clone in the Estate vineyard produces fruit of great density of flavour, and very low yield (0.5 tonnes/acre). This wine was fermented with 100% whole bunch inclusion and had pre-fermentation maceration for 7-10 days. Wild yeast fermentation in small open vats proceeded with daily pigéage. Pressing was straight to barrel (100% new French oak) to allow for gross lees contact and natural MLF.

Touches of smoky clove and exotic spice enhance the rich flavours of sweet red plum and black cherry that burst onto the palate. Very fine, supple tannins carry evenly right to the finish.

The Vérité La Joie Sonoma Valley Cabernet Blend 2006 is a masterpiece from the renowned Jackson Family Wines, hailing from the picturesque Sonoma Valley in the United States. This vintage exudes elegance and complexity, with a deep ruby color that hints at the concentrated flavors within. On the nose, aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and dark chocolate dominate, with subtle hints of cedar and clove adding layers of depth. On the palate, this full-bodied wine boasts rich flavors of blackberry, cherry, and espresso, complemented by velvety tannins and a touch of spice. The finish is long and lingering, leaving an impression of finesse and balance. Aged for 23 months in French oak barrels, this wine is a true representation of the terroir and is best enjoyed with hearty meat dishes or aged cheeses. A true gem from Sonoma Valley, the Vérité La Joie 2006 is a must-try for any wine connoisseur.

Lovely blood plum & strawberry notes with hints of aged beef.
