SEPPELT Show Sparkling Limited Release Shiraz, Great Western Pioneering and peerless, the Seppelt Show is the very apex of sparkling Shiraz in Australia. The crown seal is an act of mercy by the winemaker for those impatient to release this wine. But for those who do possess patience, 'The Show' will go on for many years to come with good cellaring.

HENRIOT Cuvee Hemera, Champagne Produced from only Grand Cru vineyards with Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs in equal parts, then aged for a minimum of 12 years on the lees, this empyreal wine is delightfully delectable. A medium golden straw in colour, the Henriot Cuvee Hemera is elegant, very dry, light and lively. Expressing white peach and green fruits accented by a citrus lift, the Champagne has an enchanting creamy texture with generous layers of biscuity notes throughout, with a sleek, well-knit acidity and a long-lengthy finish across the palate.

A plentiful mousse sits atop a pale straw base that has gold tinged edges and a fine persistent bead. Toasty yeast lees scents are intermeshed with baked bread, citrus, light honeyed notes and traces of nut. The palate is tense and sculptured with racy acidity running through toast, subtly honeyed pear, yeast lees and roasted nut flavours. Dry crisp finish with a long aftertaste that builds a sense of creaminess as it lingers. Drink over the next 2-3 years. Alc. 12.5%
