Bright and juicy, with soft tannins, lots of ripe blackberry fruit, a touch of pepper, a silky texture and a juicy, fresh finish. A very good value.
This familiar wine, for so many years a benchmark for Aussie quality and consistency, is still on its game. This vintage offers generous blackcurrant, blackberry, minty herbal and subtle oak character and is harmoniously integrated and well-balanced throughout.
Are You Game? Shiraz 2009 is the little sister to Ladies Who Shoot Their Lunch Shiraz. This Shiraz is deep ruby-purple in colour with a savoury nose of black fruits, herbs and pepper. It offers dry, full-bodied, spicy liquorice, blackberry and toasty oak flavours. Good value.
Lively citrus, yellow tree fruit and melon on the nose, with citrus flavours leading off in the mouth. Crisp green apple kicks in on mid-palate with brisk acidity, a touch of mineral and a trace of peach on the finish.
Fresh and clean aromas and flavours of apple and peach with nice weight in the mid-palate, grippy texture and nice length. Would pair well with grilled prawns.
Characteristic Viognier aromatic peach and tropical fruit with honeyed floral scents telegraph the full-bodied ripe peach and apricot flavours that emerge on the palate. Finishes with honeyed richness tempered by well-balanced acidity.
Refined citrus, hazelnut and subtle buttery notes on the nose with fine citrus fruit flavour show cool-climate freshness and focus. Well-modulated acidity, mineral and a smooth lick of creamery butter on the finish. A polished wine and excellent value.
