Clear medium-deep garnet, beginning to brown. Mature nose of vanilla, leather, varnish. Medium-bodied; tastes like a Bordeaux claret transported to Australia: stewed red berries, more vanilla, green herbs and spice. Drink up.
Clear inky-deep plum red. Medium-intensity nose of black cherry and black pepper. Lots more black cherry on the palate, full-bodied with a long finish. High alcohol makes it a bit hot. Needs another couple of years.
Made from slightly dried Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, reminiscent of Amarone. Clear, very deep garnet. Nose worthy of Cyrano de Bergerac: black cherries nestled in pipe tobacco and sprinkled with vanilla. Full-bodied; packed with very ripe cherry and plum flavours. The epitome of balance, it holds the high alcohol level very well. May last another couple of years, but why wait? Lovely with lamb sausage flavoured with lemon and thyme and served with a hearty ratatouille.
Appealing ripe blackberry and raspberry fragrance with similar fruit profile on the palate; a splash of chocolate, soft tannins and balanced acidity complete the picture.
From the Barbera varietal. Clear pink-tinted orange. Medium-intensity nose of pineapple, strawberry, peach and apricot. Light-bodied, slightly sweet but still crisp, tastes like strawberries glazed with that bright red stuff they put on candy apples, also a hint of papaya. Perfect with charcuterie and an assortment of olives. Drink up.
Citrus, tropical fruit and floral scent give way to light lemon citrus flavour; a lick of tropical fruit with refreshing acidity and a clean fresh finish.
Classic Hunter Sémillon with mineral, lime, lemon, lanolin and lip-smacking acidity. Chill it well and pair alongside oysters on the half shell.
