Alta Sauvignon Blanc
Assertive and strongly varietal. Soft, fruit driven with ripe gooseberry, pink grapefruit and lemon citrus. The generous fruit flavours are balanced by natural grape acid which also aids in providing structure and length to the palate. The finish is both long and clean.

|
Balgownie Estate Cabernet

Cape Mentelle Chardonnay 2004
Stylish and fruit-driven, with a pleasing background of winemaking-derived complexity, this spotless and stylish wine is just a shade too tropical and simple for a higher rating.

Fonty's Pool Chardonnay
Yellow gold hues. A vibrant bouquet of lemon meringue pie, fresh cut peaches and mineral notes – these continue on the palate, which is layered with subtle vanillin oak, cashews and savoury tones. A fine chalky texture and crisp acidity ensure this wine finishes long and clean. Aging potential 3-4 years.

Fonty's Pool Pinot Noir
2002 was an excellent year for Pinot Noir resulting in a deep garnet colour with intense aromas of stewed plums and dark cherries, followed by forest floor and a touch of stalkiness. The palate is long and generous with both its primary fruit and savoury tones – a coating of fine silky tannin persist supported by subtle smoky oak and tight acid structure. Aging potential 4-5 years.

Fonty's Pool Sauvignon Blanc / Semillon
Bright yellow straw hues – a vibrant lively aroma bursting with passionfruit, gooseberries, lemon blossoms and fresh cut grass. A hint of sweet spice underlies this, while the palate has intense varietal fruit flavours and zingy lemon acidity. The wine finishes long and fresh with a powdery textural mouth feel. Drink now.

Penfolds - Yattarna Chardonnay 2004
No question this is the jewel in the crown of the Penfolds chardonnays; nothing has been taken away from it for any of the lesser brands, including the Reserve bin; exquisitely fine, yet intense, nectarine, white peach and citrus are seamlessley intergrated with quality French oak and perfectly balanced acidity.

The historic and heritage-protected Penfolds Magill Estate is one of the few single vineyards in the world located within city boundaries.

Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz 2001
While Grange is now seen as the quintessential Australian wine, John Davoren's work with St. Henri is of equal importance. Indeed both these wines set new standards for their day with St. Henri establishing an elegant, perfumed style based on fruit definition and maturation in old oak.

Rockbare Chardonnay
This wine exhibits classic McLaren Vale Chardonnay characters, pale straw in colour with lemon rind, lime juice and subtle spices on the nose. Its a real taste bud buster with peach and pear characteristics combining with a nutty mid-palate and rounded off with lemon-peel tang finish. An exceptional wine from an exceptional vintage.
|
|
|
|
|
Rockbare Shiraz
Strong coffee aromas with an underlying spice and rich home made jams. On the palate the trademark liquorice tannin structure of the previous RockBare McLaren Vale Shiraz again shows through. The palate has great balance, integrated oak and an array of dark fruits, predominantly blackberry and blackcurrant. A complex, layered wine without undue aggression or rough edges - the result of choosing old vine fruit, open fermentation, gentle pressing, and a little quite time in the barrel.
