Mornington brings something different to the Italianate Moscato, climactically it is blessed with a real advantage. In Australia, there are fewer traditional stylistic conventions to the handling of Moscato, therefore flavoursome and refreshing versions can be crafted which trump the Europeans. T'Gallant fashions their Moscato to display the virtues of simple, high quality winemaking, picking the grapes at a moderate alcohol level, gentle pressing and not messing about with the wine too much, practices which are all key to the T'Gallant philosophy |
Time has revealed the Eden Valley to be a natural home for Riesling which, to quote Peter Lehmann, is the noblest white wine variety. Lehmann's Eden Valley has the unique distinction of being awarded Trophy for Best Riesling in the World at the London International Wine and Spirit Competition five times, more than any winemaker in the world. "A firmly bodied palate tight with fine minerally textures, and even now, a sense that its future has a honey glow!" -Adelaide Advertiser, "Peter Lehmann Rieslings shine regularly on the world stage!" -The Telegraph |
Waipara Hills made a name as Marlborough's best Gewurztraminer after romping home with the trophy for best entry at the Liquorland International. Waipara Hill's low-cropping Gewurztraminer vineyard produces fruit with intense aromas of rose petal, lychee and turkish delight. Waipara Hills is stunningly fragrant, completely unwooded and fresh, medium bodied soft and round, with a rich oily texture, luscious, slightly sweet and intense. An extremely limited production of only a few hundred cases makes this edition a collectible |
Tim Adams focus is exclusively on Clare Valley fruit, selected on the basis of discernible varietal and authentic regional expression. Clare Valley Rieslings are delicate yet animate and enduring, eminently enjoyable when young and zesty, sublime when left to mature. "Lively riesling, unmistakadly Clare Valley. It's aromatic and youthful with intense citrus lemon and lime on the bouquet and palate, mineral characters, a balanced acidic backbone and a crisp, dry finish!" -Illawarra Mercury, "Beautiful and delicate, with floral fruits, lime and lemon!" -Canberra Times |
Three notable winemakers have cut parcels of Hunter Valley Semillon with a tad of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, labelling the wine as a perfect balancing act. The idea behind See Saw was the brainchild of Angus the Bull winemaker Hamish MacGowan, who is building a reputation for his intriguing, successful marketing concepts. His skill at crafting wines is pretty up there too. "This is about real people with real wine experience who are passionate about what they do and who are not afraid to push traditional boundaries!" -Wine Business |
De Bortoli has written the book on Australian dessert style Semillon. "It glows in the glass. Overpowering characteristics of apricot, marmalade, nectarine and hints of citrus combine with vanillan oak, yet a crisp acidic finish provides a lingering finish. A De Bortoli classic is now on the shelves, marvellous!"-Warwick Randall, "These guys make Australia’s best sticky (Noble One) so it’s no surprise to us to find a wine of this quality under the Deen label: light-bodied, sweet apricot and peach flavours, intense, rich and concentrated!" -Max Allen & Peter Forrestal |
Super Bin 389 & 407
Value packed Bin 128 & 28
Over the last forty years Penfolds Bin 389 has developed a strong identity for consistency, reliability and exceptional value. Components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange. Wine lovers enjoy it because it's delicious and ready to drink immediately upon release. |
A textbook Cabernet, the varietally expressive Bin 407 highlights the virtue of sensitive vineyard blending, bold Cabernet flavours are supported by a judicious use of soft oak. Magnificent Cabernet, bursting with a rich panoply of cedary highlights which wrap themselves around the thick berry fruit flavours. |
Introduced as one of the first Bin wines within the Penfolds portfolio, it has become an Australian classic. Penfolds Bin 28 is a ripe fleshy warm-climate Shiraz offering structure and generosity of flavour. Bin 128 has claimed an impressive chestful of awards and was twice named Red of the Year at the London International. |
In 1960 Bill Redman persuaded Max Schubert to acquire a parcel of Coonawarra, and the Bin 128 experience began. The only Penfolds to be pure Coonawarra, it was originally labelled as Claret, and whilst the quality has increased immeasurably, very little has changed about how Bin 128 is made. |
