Bright alive straw colour. The nose is dominated by rich ripe true melon characters of Chardonnay. Barrel stirring gives the palate great complexity with subtle oak influences enhancing the backbone of the palate, which is minerality and racy acidity.

SUGGESTED FOODS: Salads, all seafood and light curries.

CELLARING POTENTIAL: Now or within 2 years.

An excellent viticultural year. Ideal weather with a dry summer allowed the vines to rebound better than expected from the frosts that affected the previous vintage. Warm weather in early March bought vintage forward for our early vineyards. This gave us an extended vintage and allowed us to pick each vineyard at optimum ripeness.

The 2008 Shiraz shows bright deeply attractive red colour with purple hues. The nose is abundant in spicy cherry and berry nuances with fresh cedary leather American oak aromas. The palate is full, well balanced with flavour and structure with a soft tannin finish typical of our style. A classy wine which will age well, but can be consumed early.

SUGGESTED FOODS: Hearty casseroles, pasta dishes and cheeses.

CELLARING POTENTIAL: 5-7 years.

Very intense deep colour reminiscent of blackberries. On the nose this strong wine shows great Cabernet Sauvignon flavours of blackberries and mulberries with abundant new French oak flavours and toasty cigar oak nuances. The palate is weighty showing great soft tannins across the whole palate. The clean Cabernet Sauvignon fruit flavours leave a mark of distinction on the palate, a distinctly varietal classic coonawarra™ Cabernet Sauvignon.

SUGGESTED FOODS: All beef and game dishes and well aged cheeses.

CELLARING POTENTIAL: 5-7 years.
