The Philip Shaw No.11 Chardonnay is produced from high altitude vineyards in a region firmly claiming its rightful place at the table of great Chardonnay regions, Orange of NSW. A brilliant combination of flavours of citrus and honey dew and a great sense of minerality with a firm focus on low crops and supreme site selection.

Deep Woods Hillside Chardonnay exhibits lifted nectarine and white blossom characters. A suggestion of cedar like oak frames the generous stone fruit characters and complex chipped shell minerality. The palate is clean and lively with tremendous depth of ripe stone-fruit flavour nuanced by cashew notes. Bright citrusy acidity ensures and long and seamless finish providing enhanced structure and length.

Apertif style sparkling with a fine bead, soft texture, notes of apple and pear, light, crisp and refreshing finish.

Colour: Pale salmon. Nose: Fine and elegant nose with aromas of red berries such as strawberry and raspberry. Palate: Well-structured, refreshing and bursting with summer fruit flavours. Food & Wine pairing: great for aperitif, but even better with a full diner, as fricassee of prawns, Asian style tuna tartare, grilled seabass with thyme and rosemary, or mixed platter to share.

Perfumed yet savory on the nose and medium to medium-full bodied on the palate, with aromas of fresh apricots and honeyed beeswax, as it is made from Marsanne. This wine is somewhat exotic and is famously paired with local cheeses in their home Minervois region of western Languedoc in southern France.

Like a trio of Jazz musicians, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre are brilliantly compatible as many people will have discovered in great examples from the Rhone Valley. The blend gives spicy blackberry flavours, dark plum, black cherry dark fruit and a hint of pepper. There is also a distinctive mineral, perfumed note that comes from the Mourvèdre. The different soils and altitudes contribute hugely too.
