Deep Woods Estate Chardonnay
This excellent expression of Chardonnay, partly due to only limited time in oak, is light, fresh and zesty but with inherent complexity. Pale straw in colour, this wine exhibits lifted nectarine and white blossom characters with underlying minerality and depth. The palate is clean and lively with tremendous depth of ripe stone-fruit flavour nuanced by cashew notes. A refreshing backbone of natural grape acidity provides further structure and length.
Plantagenet Angevin Great Southern Riesling
Intensely aromatic, showing white flowers, jasmine and fragrant lime. Tightly wound acidity underpins an incredible purity of fruit with fresh finger lime and lemon curd notes. Fine phenolic structure and wet stone minerality provide drive and a crisp, dry finish with great length.
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.
Harewood Estate Apricus Hill Sauvignon Blanc
“Whoa! This is one zesty, super charged Sav... Pristine Sauvignon fruit to the fore in gooseberry, green bean, grapefruit and that tell-tale lingering scent of freshly cut grass... A good example of what the Great Southern can bring to the grape... Bright, unadorned and delish.” says Jeni Port, WinePilot. Mike Bennie in The Halliday Wine Companion agrees, finding it"Refreshing, bright, some lively, chalky textural nuances – this does a good job with the variety, lending complexity to high refreshment factor. 92pts, Great Value”.

Marchand & Burch Villages Rose
Made in the contemporary style, Marchand & Burch Rosé flaunts a luminescent sunstone colour with light pink tinges. The wine's bouquet exudes aromas of strawberry coulis and cream. The silky palate shows flavours of red berries and peach. The saline, chalky and savoury notes provide length as well as a fine drying balance to the wine's finish. All in all, it's a gentle wine, perfectly layered with subtle complexities to be explored. This Rose pairs very well with light pastas, seafood and goat cheese.
