1 x Streicker Wines Sauvignon Semillon 2010
A vibrant lime green hue with a hint of lemon, from the subtle oak maturation. Flavours of Nashi pear, stone fruits which are accompanied by the most delicate suggestion of roast hazelnuts and brioche. The wine is structured, and delicately textured; with oyster-shell-like minerality carried by a succulent acidity.BLUE-GOLD, 2012 SYDNEY INTERNATIONAL WINE COMPETITION
E &T Redbrook Shiraz 2009
Dense purple black, with bright mulberry and plum fruits, lifted notes of spice and black pepper with a delicate layer of cedar and toast from barrel maturation. Mulberry, blood plum and pepper flavours seamlessly integrate with refined oak characters of cedar, toast and spice.
1 x Heydon W. G. Grace Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
A rhapsody on the nose with brooding red berries, lavender, bay leaf, peppermint and abundant floral aromas. Complex cigar box and briary characters round out an attractive nose. The palate is long with smooth ripe tannins. The dominant flavours coating the palate are luscious berries and mint. This is a fruit driven wine integrated to perfection and rewarding the bottle age.
