Reserve Pinot Chardonnay Methode Traditionelle
Adelaide Hills
Trophy Winner and Best in Class 2007 Adelaide Hills Wine Show
Top 2 of all Entries 2007 Royal Adelaide Wine show
Winestate Magazine Top of class 2008 Feb/March Edition
Rated: 94/100 ***** value |
 |
| This Non Vintage Pinot Noir –
Chardonnay classic blend has elegance and finesse
, paramount for high quality sparkling white wine
of this type, which is a result of the all important
balance and flavour, acidity, mouth feel with the
effective use of yeasts. The Pinot Pink tinge with
aged Chardonnay gives the coppery tones to this
superb wine. Apricot nougat aromas are subtle. The
dry acid finish with the smooth creamy palate leaves
a lingering honey – biscuit character. |

Rosso Festiva Sparkling Burgundy
Rated:
92/100 ***** value
|
 |
| This Sparkling Red is a result
of a select blend of long, slow fermented wines
which adds body and complexity. A bouquet of lovely
ripe fruit, on the palate rich raspberries and steward
rhubarb, intermingle with more aged characters (chocolate
- cigar-box). The beautiful aged characters are
achieved by a combination of wooded and unwooded
wine. |

Amadio Chardonnay Adelaide Hills
Rated:
89/100 ***** value
|
 |
| This 2006 unwooded Chardonnay
is made possible by the now more than fully
mature Chardonnay vineyards that we planted
two decades ago. To make Chardonnay using
light oak influence requires very high quality
fruit. I am confident that we have ample fruit
source to produce such a wine. This Chardonnay
is ideal for drinking now or laying down over
the next 5 years. A favourite with fresh salads,
light meaty dishes, especially seafood. |

 |
| The exceptional growing
season certainly favoured the Pinot Noir grapes
from our selected, well-drained site in the
Adelaide Hills. An extremely approachable
medium bodied wine that is developing the
gamey truffle flavours and sweetness that
will be enhanced with careful cellaring. Rich
primary fruit characters are still flirting
with soft velvety tannin that finishes soft
and sleek further enhanced by the moderate
use of fine grain French oak. Gamey and forest
floor characters will develop further. Drink
now or cellar up to 15 years. |

| Colour Deep crimson red
with hints of purple Bouquet A combination
of dark cherry, violets and mulberries initially
entices the nose with a subtle nutty and vanilla
character derived from oak maturation, adding
to the overall complexity. Palate The full
flavours of liquorice and dark cherry dominate
with a savoury earthiness married in the texture
is velvet like silky and smooth with some
drying tannins to balance the soft acid. A
lingering blackberry and vanilla spice aftertaste
demands a second glass of this classic Italian
varietal. |

| 2005 Red Shed Barossa Shiraz Barossa Valley |
 |
| The big red Shiraz is big and beautiful – make room for it in your cellar. Deep purple with violet hues, and a nose of intense mocha with overtones of sweet spice, and hints of vanilla. The palate has all the hallmarks of a great Barossa Shiraz – big juicy and powerful, with generous berry fruits, and chocolaty tannins from extensive maturation in both American and French oak – adding to the wine’s excellent ageing potential. The full fruit balances nicely with perfect acidity. |

| 2006 Red Shed Cabernet Sauvignon Langhorne Creek |
 |
| This 2006 Langhorne Creek Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent example of a premium Australian Cabernet Sauvignon.
The palate bursts with ripe berries, balanced acid and vanillan oak – which rolls nicely over the tongue, providing good weight and body, adding to the lingering finish.
Enjoy with grilled meats, steaks – especially tenderloin. |
