Viognier 2008

Luscious and delightful

This late maturing variety was the last to be harvested in the vineyard in the third week of April. The grapes were hand picked and lightly pressed to create an outstanding wine. Bright and clear with light lemon green colour, this Viognier has a delicious spring flower perfume as well as nectarine and spicy ginger on the nose. Flavours of glace pineapple, apricot and almond and a generous mouth feel and piquant back palate complete this wine. 13.5% alcohol.

RRP - $18.50

Pinot Gris 2008

Vigorous and exhilarating

Hand harvested between the 11th and 13th of April and fermented in stainless steel. In the glass the wine has a bright clarity with tints of lemon and russet. Flavours show the varietal characteristics of pear, ginger and honey suckle which shine over a mineral apple acidity and a spicy base. The alcohol is nicely balanced, making this an easy drinking food wine. Drink now with Asian cuisine or seafood. 14.5 % alcohol.

RRP - $18.50
