This is as fresh as they come: nashi pear, grapefruit, lemongrass, pineapple… I can imagine fresh, dew-dappled bouquets of herbs, citrusy zest finely grated over the top. Reminds me of the Little Creatures Pale Ale kind of aromatics - resinous and celebratory. Layered too, but instead of getting deeper it gets even more spritely, more exciting and aromatic. The finish is clean and refreshing, the colour has a tinge of pink.

Annie's Lane Riesling shows attractive varietal aromas of citrus and floral notes. The palate is crisp and focused, the flavours of lemon butter and honey framed by lingering acidity. Consistently one of the best value Riesling's available.

Fresh and aromatic Hesketh Sauvignon Blanc has the Bouquet of assorted citrus. Intense limey notes, with hints of grapefruit zest. A young and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc showcasing freshly cut granny smith apples, the trademark elegance of the Adelaide Hills region.

Crisp lively drinking from this respected producer with the grassy Sauvignon Blanc character balancing the fuller Semillon flavours. Bottled under screwcap to retain freshness.

Chain of Ponds Novello range of wines are made with a youthful, exciting and vibrant idea in mind and all three can be tasted in this crisp and refreshing white blend. Compromising of a blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, the wine is a delicate blend of the lifted aromatics of the Sauv Blanc and wonderful texture and subtlety of the Semillon to lend itself to seafood matches wonderfully.

A Sicilian white grape, the name means Cricket. Once used to make Marsala but now premium white table wines. A good drink on its own or chilled for summer. Goes well with seafood.

This great Clare Valley Rose opens up with cherry and strawbery succulent red berry fruit flavours. The wine is a great balance with ripe red fruits and a savoury, spicy edge which makes it easy on the palate and perfect for 'al fresco' dining.

Riesling has a strong affinity for the cooler climes of the World, and it is therefore no surprise that it would produce wines of great character in the Adelaide Hills. Whilst we made the hard decision to graft some of our Riesling vines over to Pinot Noir some years back, we have retained only the most promising clones to produce our Riesling as its perhaps the top white pick amongst staff and remains a labour of love. The Riesling crop, whilst minuscule, showed hallmark varietal characters and fine acidity nurtured by the cool nights and warm sunny days. Careful sampling in the vineyard, paying particular attention to flavour development and acid levels, meant the fruit was harvested on the 14th of March when the ideal balance was reached. Lifted floral aromas and the lively citrus fruit intensity are finely balanced by the tight structure and crisp natural acidity.

A perfect mix of orange zest, ginger spice and ripe pear combine with notes of vanilla and baked pastry. The palate is richly flavoured and delightfully textured, carrying the opulent spice-poached pear, quince and lemon honey flavours through to a clean crisp finish.
