Spring Vale Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Notes:The 2019 Spring Vale Sauvignon Blanc has intense aromas and flavours of passionfruit and guava with subtle citrus, floral and cut grass characters. Vibrant, generous with a creamy texture and bright citrusy finish.Great with Tassie scallops cooked in garlic butter with a side of fresh, steamed asparagus.
Quealy Lina Lool
This is named after the aromatic compounds stored in the skins of Moscato Giallo. This is a blend of Friulano (45%), Riesling (26%), Moscato Giallo (19%) and Malvasia Istriana (7%), all from Quealys Balnarring home block. The grapes were added to a rolling ferment (as they were harvested) to open-top amphorae, and the wine spent six months on skins. It was then basket-pressed, roughly settled and allowed to mature in old French puncheons before being bottled 12 months later.
Devilish Chardonnay
An example of cool climate Tasmanian Chardonnay at its best. Refined, complex and elegant wine, displaying a straw green colour with stone fruit aromas and a creamy palate .
Russell & Suitor Franca's Vineyard Chardonnay
Alex Russell is turning out some really exceptional wines under his new Russell & Suitor label. We're really enjoying the Franca's Vineyard wines ... they're juicy, delicious and very very moreish. This Chardonnay is a prime example - it would be absolutely stellar with a cheeseboard at sunset.
Devil's Corner Chardonnay
Devil's Corner Chardonnay shows some up-front ripe stone fruit, citrus characters and hint of subtle spiciness. It shows excellent flavour intensity with great persistence and a refreshing finish.
Papagiannakos Retsina
Retsina hails from the hills of Attica and Central Greece and was traditionally made from the Savatiano grape variety. Vassilis Papagiannakos has taken it upon himself to raise the profile of this much-maligned style of wine. He does this by sourcing fruit from old, well-sited Savatiano vineyards. He then adds very controlled amounts of pine resin during a temperature controlled fermentation to ensure a delicate and well integrated blend of flavours and complexity.
Josef Chromy Pinot Gris
Josef Chromy's Pinot Gris delivers a fresh, zesty flavour profile of ripe apricot, pear and subtle hints of ginger. The grapes are harvested quite ripe in order to give the palate its full, rich weight and texture with a beautifully balanced, lingering zesty finish. A great pairing with a Risotto or Calamari.
Josef Chromy Riesling
Josef Chromy is the ultimate example of the fact that its never too late to fulfil your dreams, having launched his wine label at the age of 76. Hes had great success since, as youll discover with this Riesling. In the glass: Bright pale lemon. On the nose: Tightly wound and delicate. On the palate: Pristine, dry and crisp with a lemon and lime fruit core. Really refined and precise, it has a wonderful quinine-like texture and very tight acidity that will ensure success in the cellar.
Devils Corner Resolution Chardonnay
Tasmanian Chardonnay at its best, lifted aromas of peach and pear with defined elegant oak. A bright and complex palate with crisp acidity that provides freshness and excellent persistence of flavour. A wine to enjoy in its youth. It will also soften and build additional complexity in the shorter team. Serve lightly chilled to allow flavours to shine.
Seppelt Gruner Veltliner
Aromas of sweet spice and peppercorns with pears and green apple. The palate shows spiced pears and citrus combined with textural elements and fine, chalky acidity typical of the Henty region.
