AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND |
WHITE WINES |
2005 Henschke Barossa, Tilly’s Vineyard, Australia |
|
Dry white wine with a lemon-gold colour with fragrant lemon. Honeysuckle and clover blossom aromas and subtle hints of oak. Gently complex, opulent and soft with a juicy texture and tight palate. |
2005 Unoaked Chardonnay Mount Vernon, Lawson’s, Marlborough, N. Z. |
|
Fully flavoured, rich Chardonnay with buttery notes. Fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the exotic and tropical fruit flavours. Has a luscious texture and a wealth of flavour profound and powerful. |
2004 Helios Semillon Binder Wines, Barossa Valley, Australia |
|
It is not surprising that Rolf Binder’s Semillon has won awards in Australia; layers of elegant fruit builds on the palate to create richness coupled to a clean dry finish. |
2005 Mitchell Growers Semillon, Clare Valley, Australia |
|
Spectacular wine with lime citrus fruit aromas and flavours, wrapped-up in a parcel of oak character-smoke and hint of vanilla. Delicious and well structured but still an elegant wine. |
2007 Sauvignon Blanc Alan Scott, New Zealand |
|
A delicious array of grassy and curranty aromas, with beautiful clean fruit in abundance on the palate. |
RED WINES |
2005 Fantail Shiraz, South East Australia |
|
Profound purple/red appearance. Scents reveal vibrant black fruit, spices and pepper. The palate displays vivacious dark summer fruit flavours. |
2005 Cabernet Merlot Malbec, C J Pask, Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand |
|
An intensely flavoured elegant red wine made by entwining the rich strength of Cabernet Sauvignon with the soft, velvety texture of Merlot. Well balanced red wine with a warm, lingering finish. |
2004 Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot, Henshcke Keyneton Estate |
|
The regional blend is produced from 70% shiraz, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. Aromas of blackcurrants, licourice, tobacco leaf, and spice box are followed by a medium-bodied, elegant pure red. |
2002 Clayvin Pinot Noir, La Strada, Marlborough, N. Z. |
|
The wine is a typical expression of a high quality New Zealand Pinot noir with a surprisingly focused structure, given the age of the vines. Neither filtered nor fined, this youthful and vibrant wine has an immediately appealing elegance and flavour intensity. Good weight with impeccable purity and balance. Pure, youthful Pinot Noir, intense fruit, good concentration, very fine, elegant and appealing with sound structure to age well. |
