A racy off-dry low alcohol style, the fruit for this Riesling is sourced off the north-facing Block 1 on the Elms vineyard, planted on deep silt loam soils. The Riesling is handpicked, whole bunch pressed and settled overnight before undergoing fermentation with wild yeasts. The fermentation is stopped early by chilling, retaining some residual sweetness and resulting in an alcohol of 9.0%. The wine is left on fine lees before bottling.

An off-dry lower alcohol style, Felton Roads Bannockburn Riesling displays floral lift and fleshy stone fruit richness balanced by taut racy acidity. The fruit comes from Calvert & The Elms vineyards in the Bannockburn sub-region of Central Otago. The grapes are whole bunch pressed and fermented with indigenous yeasts, with the ferment arrested when the desired balance between acidity, alcohol and residual sugar is reached.

This Chardonnay has plenty of robust varietal aromas of stone-fruits and melon on the nose, which is well supported with spicy oak. The palate has a soft creamy mouthfeel while maintaining a tight structure that includes well defined fruit flavours of melon, pears and a touch of citrus acidity bound by well integrated French oak.

Château Mouton-Rothschilds dry Bordeaux white is made from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle, all planted within 4.5 hectares of vines. It is one of the few Bordeaux whites that is subject to malolactic fermentation. Ripe, intense, and elegant, stone fruit and citrus dominate the palate of this wine, with a line of racy acidity to add freshness.

Girolamo Russo Nerina Bianco is a punchy majority Carricante blend (with additions of Inzolia, Coda di Volpe and Cataratto) that is at once dry, textured and rich. The fruit is harvested from various Russo vineyards on Etnas north side, particularly San Lorenzo, Feudo, and Calderara Sottana. Youll find lemon, peach, and stone on the nose, with refreshingly balanced acidity and clarity on the palate. In 2005, Giuseppe Russo was drawn back to his childhood home on Sicilys Mount Etna to make wine. Named after his late father, he creates elegant and expressive wines that speak of the volcanos incredibly varied terroir. The crus (or contrade) in which Russo grows his grapes are among the finest on Etnas north side, and he conducts all of his production organically.
