Beautiful rich garnet colour - dense and dark. The aromas are intense, complex and refined. From bold mineral notes of the caranto terroir to spicy vanilla, dark tobacco and liquorice, all mingled with cherry and plum jam. Hints of chocolate, incense and mint. The palate is warm, soft and luscious, with a delicate sweetness, despite the 80 grams of residual sugar, thanks to careful management of the withering process, so as to preserve the acidity/tannins necessary to avoid those disagreeable candied notes of "over-cooked" fruit characteristic of most passito wines.
Straw yellow in colour. Classic intense subtle bouquet - Clear fruity hints of peach and apricot blended with yellow flowers and spicy aroma of thyme, oregano and refreshing salvia. The palate is rich, strong, powerful and smooth with balancing acidity. The aromas all follow t. Dry lasting finish.
Fresh zesty nose with apricot and orchard fruit aromas, and a hint of white flower and citrus. The palate has minerality and texture with ripe stone fruit and grapefruit characters, refreshing lemon citrus acidity, a touch of salinity, and a crisp finish.
A rich and opulent white wine with complex aromas of ripe apple and apricot. The palate is crisp, elegant with notes of buttery hints followed by a long, rich and satisifying finish.
Gardner Street Classic has the classic floral, elderflower note we have come to know of contemporary Bacchus married with a touch of stone fruit from the Chardonnay. On the palate theres an abundance of red apple fruit, a touch of wild fennel with the barrel fermented Chardonnay giving mid palate weight and structure to a wine that ultimately finishes with a brisk, present acidity.
With the faintest whiff of biscuity oak this bright, tangy Barossa Chardonnay is an absolute delight. It has that classical Barossa charm, elegance, poise, tang and naggingly more-ish elusive something-or-other which makes one wonder why there isnt more Australian Chardonnay. The 205 enjoys all of the notes above with added texture and breadth making this vintage foodier still.
Refreshingly unoaked, citrus and white peach flavours combine with a zesty fresh acidity and a clean, bright and linear mineral finish. The judicious addition of Langhorne Creek Chardonnay adds palate, weight and texture. Ultimately, this is a bright expression of a Victorian Chardonnay.
Bright, aromatic and juicy on the nose with just a touch of naughty bacon fat. True to the varietal, the tiny proportion of Malbec in this blend gives a flowery perfume. This vintage is our brightest, most dangerously drinkable Shiraz to date due to its fine, bright fruit and soft silky elegance.
A really expressive, bright, contemporary Aussie red. The nose of soft, open, chocolatey fruit has a clove note with a palate of fresh brambly, cherry-red fruit that leads to a gently spicy finish.
Brooding and intense. A classic Malbec from Nietos premium Agrelo vineyards, with flavours reminiscent of those desert soils. Dark, dense complex nose with sweet cranberries, blackberries and rich mocha characters. The palate is smooth and rounded with supple tannins and a long intense pure finish with hints of bitter chocolate and spice.
A floral nose of jasmine, lime zest, waxed lemons over crushed marble. The palate is bright, taut and citrussy, the note of citrus oils adding to the palate weight. Its crisp but has plenty of body and a long, nervy finish.
A compelling, dark and rich chocolately beast. This is a classic Barossa Shiraz with intense savoury flavours of thick blackberry compote, black pepper and typical iron-rich beefy flavours. Not a hint of jam here, no sweetness, this is serious Shiraz for grown-ups with balanced acidity, a touch of cocao powder in the finish and tremendous length.
Noble and generous, a glory of Old Piedmont, it is a wine suited to very long aging. Barolo is the absolute master of the dining room. It conquers the palate with strength, harmony and fullness and maintains its power at length. A great wine for important dishes, red meats roasted on a spit or grilled, game, dishes of gourmet white and red meats and ripe cheeses. Garnet red. Fragrance with notes of licorice and tobacco. Full and elegant flavor.
Fresh, delicate aromas of citrus and pear with hints of lime. The palate is complex with zesty, ripe stone fruit, crisp acidity and mineral notes. The finish is pure, long and elegant with an appealing lightly saline edge.
