The 5OS Project McLaren Vale Malbec
A stunning individual vineyard wine, sourced from the Lopresti vineyard, bursting with fresh dark plums and mocha on the nose, with a smoky, earthy varietal richness. It won Gold at the Australian Alternative Varieties Show, plus Gold and the TROPHY for Best Other Red in Show at McLaren Vale.
Happs Preservative Free White
Happs Preservative Free White offers up a Margaret River Chardonnay that doesn't disappoint. The palate is full of rich decadent flavours of buttery roasted cashew and ripe fig fruits that work in perfect harmony with the creamy texture of the wine. It finishes with sweet lemon butter and crisp, refreshing acidity that dares you to have another glass.
Leeuwin Estate Classic Dry White
A blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, this attractive white from Leeuwin Estate shows concentrated tropical fruit characters, such as honeydew melons, pineapples and fresh lime along with aromatic floral notes of Jasmine, frangipani with hints of warm spices on the nose. It is well rounded with vibrant citrus fruits and balanced acidity on the palate. Length finish and great with Asian food.
La Cantina King Valley No Preservatives Added Shiraz
This is a full bodied wine with a hint of pepper on the palate. It is filled with fresh ripe berry fruit characters balanced by soft toasty oak.
Capcanes Mas Donis Blanc
Domaine Wachau Domane Wachau Gruner Veltliner Terassen
Theres nothing like grüner veltliner. Its signature is a thin vein of acidity that provides a delightfully explosive mouthfeel. Its major fruit flavours are green fruits and citrus and its herbaceous character gives it notes of white pepper. This traditional example of grüner veltliner from Austria has a medium body and crisp acidity, plenty of juicy green apple flavour and a lightly spicy finish. If youre not familiar with the varietal, its well worth trying as a refreshing alternative to riesling.
Scarborough Green Label Semillon
This is a superb example of the famous Hunter Semillon. Alternate in style and fuller in flavour, with tropical, grassy, lifted characters and a zesty palate. 'Today's selections are all comparatively low in alcohol - light bodied but tasty wines delivering great drinking pleasure. Semillon seems a natural starting point as, along with prosecco and riesling, the variety develops ripe flavours before grape sugar levels (and hence alcohol levels) climb too high. The warm Hunter region excels at the style but sometimes requires cellaring to soften the austere acids. But Scarborough's version offers a soft, easy -drinking expression of the variety, with bright, lemongrass like flavour and snappy, bone-dry finish.' - Sunday Canberra Times, 03 Mar 2013, by Chris Shanahan
