Chardonnay

• Type: Chardonnay

Bright with a light green hue, the bouquet is an enticing mix of flintstone, cashew and citrus, this follows onto the palate with grapefruit intensity and depth of flavour, held in check by tightly wound acidity. The oak plays its part in a supporting role, which allows for a long clean and delicious finish.

Mourvèdre Rosé

• Origin: McLaren Vale, SA
• Type: Mourvèdre Rosé.
• Tasting notes: Oak tones, maraschino cherries, exotic spices
• Aroma: Mixed cherries, herbs and spice

A lorious light salmon colour with bright flouscents, a lifted perfume of exotic herbs, spice and mixed cherry – ripe, sour and maraschino. Subtle oak tones give mouthfeel and texture, crisp acidity frames and refreshes the palate with length that will keep you satiated!

Malbec

Beetroot purple and bright in colour, intensely lifted aromatics of violets, spice, mocha, dark chocolate with a full spectrum of blue fruits.

Shiraz

Purple and bright in colour, floral and lifted spice bouquet with hints of oak. Cherries and red fruits collide across the palate with earthy, graphite notes giving added texture and interest. Sweet and savoury at the same time, the wine completes its palate journey with white pepper notes & fruit generosity while the older oak lends a rounded, soft, elegant and juicy long finish.

Cabernet Sauvignon

• Origin: Mount Barker, WA
• Type: Cabernet Sauvignon
• Tasting notes: Blackcurrant, plums and chocolate

Dark purple and bright in colour, with classic cool mint and lifted cassis bouquet with warm, cedar oak aromas. A brooding palate of blackcurrant, plums, chocolate and mocha flavours jostle for position, while a generous fruit ball forms in the mid-palate. Quality oak and time ensure long, soft and integrated tannin structure, wrapped in firm acidity – giving this Cabernet enhanced texture and complexity. Pair with slow-roasted lamb, BBQ’s and firm cheeses.
