Wolfberger Alsace Yellow Riesling
Wolfberger Alsace Yellow Riesling has become quite a favourite amongst our first Choice customers. Refreshing, yet racy on the mouth, this is a wine with lovely fruit flavours and a long finish. It's unlike what you've come to expect from Australian Rieslings with a touch of residual sweetness on the finish making it perfect with shellfish and sushi.
Rêverie Rosé
This well balanced 100% Grenache wine is beauty in a glass. Paying homage to the South of France and benefitting from a Mediterranean climate, the resulting wine shows a translucent salmon pink colour with a watery hue followed by elegant red fruit with aromas of raspberry on the nose. A concentrated impression paired nicely with all things summer. Rêverie wines come from a land full of history. It is produced in the Southern French Languedoc-Roussillon, along the Mediterranean coastline. This region benefits from the Mediterranean climate, with the northern mountains of the Pyrenees embrace the vineyards of the Pays dOc like an amphitheatre. The coastline borders the region in the South and boasting views of beaches and vast expanses of vineyards with windswept soils. The landscape is made up of steep slopes, hilly peaks, vineyards, vegetation and the sea. The regions humidity and cool temperatures are partnered with hot dry summers allowing the vineyards to produce perfect maturity in the grapes packed with fruity aromas. Thanks to a heritage of over 2000 years of winemaking traditions and an integration of climates, reliefs and soils, this region is home to a diversity of extraordinary wines. It is the patchwork of wine growing areas in Pays dOc that creates an expression of these grape varieties that are unique. This allows us to produce a versatile range of wines reflective of the region.
Loom SV McLaren vale Grenache Rosé
We love this thoroughly satisfying Single Vineyard rosé from Adelaide Hills and gifted winemaker Steve Grimley. Steve is rightly enthusiastic in describing it: "The colour is beautiful, super bright and icy on the edges. If you grabbed a fresh green apple from the fridge, dipped it in toffee and had the teeth to tuck in, you’ll catch an express to your first sip, likely your second as well. It’s not cuddly soft, likely the extra skin contact has added some phenolic grip, personally I like this, especially when it’s knitted together with some genuine mid palate sweetness that exits before the end." It is delicious! Steve also mentions: "This is the best wine ever made off Zimmer’s Vineyard and that includes the 2011 which someone like Wine Spectator claimed to be ‘one of the 10 wines you need to try if you think you know Australian Wine’. Fruit if from a single site of Grenache planted in the 1960’s in super sandy soils. It was hand picked first up in the morning, straight into a pneumatic press, left on skins for the rest of the day before being pressed into tank. Settled then racked with ‘fluffy’ lees before fermenting at <21 C until dry. Only 119.58 Cases botted 11th of June.
Woodstock Grenache Rosé
Cherry, raspberry and rose petal aromas are intermingled with hints of blueberry. Juicy cherry flavours of Grenache continue in a rich, ripe, textured palate. Terrific with smoked salmon.
Innocent Bystander Yarra Valley Rosé
Blue Pyrenees Bone Dry Rosé
This Rosé is made from early harvested Pinot Noir from the Blue Pyrenees Estate. The colour is beautifully pale salmon pink with lovely flavours of glazed cherries, strawberries and cream. A great example of balance of acidity with fruits on the palate with a crisp finish.
Calvet Grande Reserve Bordeaux
Calvet Grande Reserve is a red colour with purple hints. Powerful and complex nose, with scents of red fruits and spices. The attack is nice and structured, with flavours of cherry and vanilla. The finish is long and pleasant.
Paul Mas Estate Cabernet Merlot
Produced from old hillside vineyards in the Herault valley in the south of France, this polished blend from Paul Mas is smoothly textured on the palate with dark berry and sweet spice flavours. Outstanding value.
Yalumba Y Series Sangiovese Rosé
Salmon pink in colour with a delicate fragrance of fresh strawberries and raspberries. Ripe red fruit flavours fill the palate with just an off-dry level of residual sugar. A perfect luncheon rose.
