Attractive & bright mid-straw colour. It has a very fine bead which is crucial to the texture of the wine and the tension on the palate. The aroma is a little more reserved than the Cuvee but will build with time in the bottle. Citrus and floral flavours with fine line of acidity. Hints of pinot red fruit in the background. There is excellent freshness & tension on the palate.

Printhie is a stand-out producer from the emerging region of Orange and this Merlot has a complex bouquet of red fruits, violets and spice. The palate has fine acidity and gentle tannin providing attractive structure and length.

Printhie Chardonnay is a great example of what Orange has to offer beautiful aromas of citrus and stone fruit with a well balnced palate of fine acidity and subtle French oak.

Well balanced and great fruit intensity. From the emerging Orange district.

Printhie Sauvignon Blanc is like passionfruit sorbet., wonderfully clean and precise. Has all the drive and intensity of the very best Marlborough Savvy but with added complexity and interest. Get in on the ground floor with this region and it's aromatic white as it is going places in a hurry.

Established in 1996, Printhie has quickly garnered a repuation for quality cool climate wines, even picking up a 5 star rating from James Halliday. Pinot Gris is well suited here with luscious honeysuckle flavours balanced with bracing acidity. Textural mouthfeel adds to the mix of what is a wine to keep an eye on!

Cabernet should taste like Cabernet and this is a lovely varietal expression of ripe Cabernet – blackcurrant, redskin, a hint of leafiness and chocolaty oak. Nice balance and structure, supple texture. Hard to resist as a young wine but it does has cellaring potential over the next 5-8 years. Printhie has four vineyard sites that have been created to meet varietal needs ensuring quality fruit production. Each location has been carefully selected to encapsulate the terroir of the Orange cool climate region.

From Orange in NSW, this Shiraz is a good introduction to the qualities of this emerging area. It shows aromas of plum and spices and the palate is all about the fruit with little intrusive oak.

Bright ruby grapefruit colour. More about texture than flavour intensity. Wet stone, gentle tannin, textural richness, dry finish. Some attractive red berry fruit and crushed herb savoury flavours.

Obvious red fruit flavours, freshness from the tank fermented components, savouriness from barrel fermentation, which also contributes to the wine’s depth and texture.
