Howard Park Granite Ridge Chardonnay
Fragrant citrus blossom, with peach skin, pear, nougat and nutmeal give a complex and seductive entry. The palates fine citrus and stone fruits are deftly embellished with a cashew nut creaminess and a mineral savoury note, to add texture and drive. Fine grain French oak offers subtle support and the bright acidity, a fresh finish.
Howard Park Granite Ridge Riesling
Colour is a shimmering pale straw, the nose an enticing explosion of vibrant youthful character: lemon blossom, ground lime zest, lavender, fruit tingle, musk and talc. On the palate intense citrus and green apple characters bring appealing fruit sweetness, restrained by gentle guiding acidity that delivers persistence of flavour and a long, fresh finish, with the lingering wet stone minerality that is a signature of Great Southern Riesling. Exuberant but impeccably balanced, this wine has a great future.
Plan B! Frankland River Dry Riesling
Only the clear free run juice was retained and vinified at cooltemperatures to capture the pristine varietal flavours and aromas. Settled post fermentation and bottled early to retain freshness. Unfined.Vibrant aromatics of lemon and lime blossom, with talc and minerality. The palate is generous showing great persistence of soft citrus acidity and textural weight leading a long andstructured finish of line and length without undue austerity.
Plan B! Off-Dry Riesling
Grapes for this wine were carefully sourced from select vineyards in the Great Southern region.The fruit was picked at night when the natural sugar levels were near 10 Baumé and the acid was in good balance.Only the clear free run juice was retained and vinified at cool temperatures to preserve varietal flavours and aromas. The resulting wine was made in an off dry style which retains the natural fruit sugars in tandem with a zesty mineral acidity. Its a riot of semi-sweet freshness and citrussy zing.
