Opens with blackcurrant, blackberry and lively green herbal scent with a pinch of clove. Blackcurrant and blackberry reemerge on the palate. Well balanced, with just a light splash of chocolate and dry tannic grip.
Gentle floral and green fruit on the nose with refreshingly light green apple and tropical fruit, crisp acidity and a dry, food-friendly finish.
At their best, Hunter Valley wines display Old World–style finesse. This one reveals elegant lemon citrus, mineral and subtle buttery notes on the nose with Burgundian-like green-apple crispness and a trace of melon on the palate. Finishes with rounded nutty character and a subtle buttery sensation. Excellent quality and fine value.
This Merlot is chock full of cherry jam, blackberries, plum, menthol, graphite and spice. Mid-weight, the palate is ripe and fruit-driven with essence of cherry dancing all the way down.
Matured 9 months in French oak (45% new), but the fruit remains in charge. The nose delights with toasty baked apple. The lively-yet-rich mid-palate highlights fresh citrus and ripe peach, while the finish wraps up with toasted walnut. Serve with elegant seafood bisque.
A well-priced Riesling that’s drinking well now but can age. Pale straw in colour, it offers a light petrol-ed nose that’s spicy, minerally and citrus-driven. Medium-bodied and dry with tart melon and lime flavours that linger on the palate.
Gorgeously dry and austere Riesling with sharp lemon-lime, talc, crushed stone, grapefruit, white flowers and green apple notes on the nose. It’s refreshing on the palate with bold citrus fruit, a razor-sharp vein of acidity, minerals and persistence through the long finish. Can age this for 5 years.
