Dog Point Chardonnay
Dog Point from Marlborough in New Zealand have quickly established themselves as quality Marlborough producers with their range of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. This Chardonnay has lovely texture due to lees stirring and balanced oak influence. Hints of citrus still remain to produce a Chardonnay of versatility.
Mount Horrocks Cordon Cut Riesling
Golden in colour with aromas of tropical fruits and citrus. Delicate but mouthfilling, Mount Horrocks Cordon Cut reveals a balanced sweet palate with a hint of lime zest on the finish. A multi-award winning dessert wine over many years, this example of the style is a benchmark in Australia.
Château de Rayne-Vigneau Sauternes
Château Rayne-Vigneau produce both a dry and sweet white wine on the estate with the sweet style taking all the accolades in recent years. Great vintages like the 2009 can produce a wine of sheer opulence and concentration. Layered honey, apricot and orange zest are all tighly packed in a Sauternes that is a perfect match for intense cheeses and flavoursome desserts.
Lisa McGuigan Platinum Pinot Gris
A pale straw colour, with aromatic pretty floral notes of nashi pears and a touch of sweet spice. Palate of a rich medium bodied fruit driven style, layers of passionfruit, pears, citrus blossom and musk layer around natural cool climate acidity. The fruit was whole bunched pressed and clarified before early bottling to capture the fresh fruit character.
Frozen Tundra Vidal Ice Wine
A stellar Icewine which encompasses fantastic aromas of floral notes, honey, candied orange peel, peach and apricot. You'll find intense flavours of Pineapple, lychee, and honey on the palate, as well as a voluptuous texture. A truly delicious dessert wine.
Lagravera Onra Solera Non-Vintage
This delicious wine presents a deep yellow color with orangey glints. The bouquet is rich with fruit aromas, ripe fruit, and floral scents, particularly white flowers, and hints of honey. On the palate, it is oily and voluptuous, yet well-balanced with good acidity. The finish is long, featuring toasty notes that add complexity to the overall experience.
Chateau de la Jaubertie Monbazillac ( )
Made from Semillon & Muscadelle, this botrytized desert style is the most well-known wine of Bergerac and Dordogne (in southwest France). Pungently floral and fruity with honey and dried apricot perfumes from the Muscadelle grape, then plant-based fragrances. Finally, some flavours such as vanilla and toast are associated with barrel aging. This is still young but has great potential.
