White Wine
Carlei Green Vineyards Pinot Gris 2009
Cardinia Ranges, Victoria
Delicate pink in the glass this complex wine has delicious aromas of mineral, pear, citrus and spice. A well balanced palate of pear and lime flavours with a sensuous sweetness of ripe summer stone fruits ending in brilliant crisp acidity. Leaving you with wonderful length and mouth feel.
Pipers Brook Vineyard Riesling 2009
Tasmania
This palate is elegant and refined yet powerfully concentrated with tangy citrus and tropical flavours. This mesmerising wine well balanced with crisp and dry with light skin tannin structure and soft mineral tones lifting the finish.
Catalina Sounds Sauvignon Blanc 2009
Marlborough, New Zealand
Brought to us by Spy Valley Vineyards, this wine is sensual and golden in the glass with extravagant aromas of passion, mango, lychee and exotic rambutan. Having rested on leees for a short time during fermentation the palate has a warm viciousness that carries more passionfruit, melon and fabulous tropical fruits.
Torbreck Woodcutters Semillon 2008
Barossa Valley, South Australia
Produced from old growth Semillon vines in the Barossa. This wine is rich and smoky with a fat texture, full of tropical fruits both on the nose and palate and a nice long finish. A wonderful match to salmon or poultry.
Scarborough Yellow Label Chardonnay 2005
Hunter Valley, New South Wales
Grown in Australian Terra Rossa soil these Chardonnay grapes are harvested at the peak of their maturity and fermented in new French oak and given two Malo-Lactic fermentation runs. Blended in the barrel on lees for a minimum of twelve months this wine pours with a delicious golden straw colour. The nose is an inviting melody of tropical fruits, melon and toasty characteristics. The palate is long and sensuous with aftertastes of cashews, honey and green melon.
Champagne
Veuve A. Devaux Blanc de Noir
Initially round and fruity, the freshness and liveliness of this Pinot Noir develops to give a unique and sensual wine. Very refreshing.
Taittinger Brut Reserve
Lightly citrus with mineral hints on the nose. Big, fruity and citrus on the palate with a little bit of cookie dough giving a delicate roundness. A lovely long green apple finish.
Veuve Cliquot Ponsardin
A well loved wine for its crisp full flavours. Its complex nose of apple, citrus and caramel is followed by full flavours of pure elegance, crispness and slightly spicy finish.
Red Wine
Chapel Hill Rose 2009
McLaren Vale, South Australia
Carefully selected Sangiovese delicately pressed to preserve its charming savoury zest. Palate is brilliantly balanced with dark cherries and pomegranate notes with enduring and chalky flavours.
Carlei Green Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008
Cardinia Ranges, Victoria
Well structured wine with fruit picked in a warmer climate and displayes Pinot’s complete profile. Sweet ripe wild strawberries and sour cherries on the nose while meaty, earthy and savoury zest with a velvety silky structure on the palate.
Parker Coonawarra Estate Merlot 2005
Coonawarra, South Australia
Stunning deep purple hues with a noise of cassis, liquorice and wispy hints of smoked French oak. A deep intense palate of rich cassis and blackberries with good mineral overtones. This Merlot is well balanced by its acidity and long, lingering finish of suede like tannins.
Torbreck “Woodcutters Red” Shiraz 2008
Barossa, South Australia
Hand picked and aged in old founders giving this shiraz a juicy sharpness like no other. Dazzlingly red with a seductive black core the nose is full of ripe stone fruits with black cherries and raspberry with just a hint of spice. All this fruit continues onto the palate with that black core reminding you its there with a light liquorice tone. A rather sweet fruit but a nice dry finish. Simply a good shiraz. Enjoy!
Bests Great Western Shiraz 2008
Salvation Hills, Victoria
Well defined medium bodied wine black fruits are supported by fine web of silky tannins. Picked from Shiraz vines planted in 1999, this is truly an exemplary wine. With Shiraz’s peppery and spicy notes this wine has a hint of berry sweetness bouquet on the nose. The palate carries dark chocolate with black olives and more of the peppery taste. Fantastic fine long tannins give this Shiraz a superb finish. Enjoy while eating something bold.
Parker Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2003
Coonawarra, South Australia
Bouquet of sweet cassis, blackburrant and touch of earth layered with a hint of vanilla oak. A delightful balance between delicate zests such as chocolate, red berries and firm tannins with a hint of white pepper adding a lengthly finish.
Dessert Wine
De Bortoli Noble One 2007
Riverina, New South Wales
The creation of this Sauternes style wine by Darren de Bortoli in 1982 has been regarded as Australia’s benchmark dessert wine. The bortrytis flavours of this wine combine peach, nectarine citrus and almond characteristics to create a luscious well balanced wine to be enjoyed with dessert or a fine blue cheese.
