2008 Sauvignon Blanc
Inspite of 2008 being a very 'challenging' vintage the 2008 Sauvignon Blanc is everything you would expect from a quality Adelaide Hills 'savvy'. Lifted aromas of melon, guava and granny smith apple on the nose are supported by nuances of tinned peas and cut grass. On the palate these primary fruit characters carry through and are beautifully balanced by crisp natural acid thus resulting in a clean balanced finish with lingering flavours of melon, citrus and lychee.
2007 Sauvignon Blanc
A slight twist on a classic! All the fresh melon and citrus blossom of an Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc with the added complexity of 30% barrel fermentation. Partial barrel fermentation and lees stirring has given the wine complexity and fullness on the palate. The crisp, natural acid carries through with the delicate characters of citrus and lychee on the finish.
2005 Sangiovese
Long slow ripening has resulted in a wine with strong aromas and flavours typical of this Variety. Strawberry, violet and spice on the nose. While the palate is rich with flavours of blueberry, cinnamon and clove. Delicate oak treatment of this wine adds complexity and nuances of savoury often attributed to Sangiovese wines.
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Highly concentrated fruit on the nose carries through to the palate on this wine. An example of what can be achieved with low crops and micro management in the vineyard. Strong flavours of black cherry and blackberry are supported by delicate, soft tannins and cedary oak. A perfectly balanced wine that will reward with cellaring.
2005 Merlot
*** SOLD OUT ***This is a fruit bomb! Long slow ripening and low crops means this wine is highly concentrated in plum, black currant and rose. In order to further express the fruit on the palate older oak was used during maturing of this wine. The result is intense flavours of fruit and caramel on the palate with a coffee and sweet oak finish. Definitely one to put away!
