Mountadam Eden Valley Pinot Gris
The wine has a mild salmon pink colour which will develop further with time. It shows delicate aromatics of jasmine blossom and ripe melon with a dry palate that has abundant textural flavours of ripe apples and pear. The distinct citrus backbone will ensure the wine rewards aging for at least 5 years.
Heggies Riesling
The Heggies vineyard situated in the hills above the Barossa Valley produces tightly structured classic Rieslings which can be appreciated young or cellared to achieve richer, complex flavours.
Krondorf Chardonnay
Krondorf is a Barossa wine name that is steeped in history and tradition. Beginning with the establishment of the Glenview winery back in 1850s, the Krondorf name was re-born by Grant Burge back in 1978 and today is one of the most successful wineries on the wine show circuit winning countless trophies and gold medals in the past 10 years. This Chardonnay is a bright straw colour with hints of golden yellow, while on the nose aromas of melon and citrus typical of the varietal are present. The long and persistent palate is wonderfully textured and a great match for some smoked trout.
Yalumba Eden Valley Viognier
Yalumba has devoted over 20 years to growing and making this rare and exotic variety. This example is a fresh and vibrant wine that displays white peach and citrus flavours with spicy undertones.
Teusner The Gentleman Cabernet Sauvignon
The Eden Valley altitudes were always going to be the source for Kym Teusner's grand Cabernet statement. The fruit is awesome beyond belief, and it shows in this ridiculously underpriced masterstroke. An entitled mouthful of dark currants and blue fruits have a lasting depth all their own, wrapped in a precision poised tannin structure with grip and presence, yet silky throughout. Could be rookie of the year!
Spinifex Riesling
A quite amazing wine. Gains weight and texture from ultra low yield, highly concentrated fruit and a combination of fermentation methods.
Heggies Above 500m Chardonnay
Heggies Above 500m Chardonnay shows fresh aromas of citrus zest, quince and white flowers, with an underlying hint of spicy oak. A zesty and lively palate, with ripe quince and stone fruit flavours, balanced by a crisp acidity which drives the palate length. Subtle nuances of fine French oak complement the fresh varietal expression.
La Planchelière Sparkling Rose
A beautiful French rosé in colour, the bouquet presents delicate notes of strawberries and red berries such asraspberries and fresh cherries. The palate dances nicely between fresh fruits, citrus characters and a lovely clean, crisp finish.
The Black Chook Sparkling Shiraz Non-Vintage
This Gold medal-winning Sparkling Shiraz has been sourced from McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek vineyards and has lovely smoothness thanks to ageing in old French oak. Deep garnet with a touch of brick, it presents lifted cassis, olive, plum and beetroot aromas. Vibrant and layered, the palate has a refreshing mix of sweet red fruits with touches of spice, juicy texture, firm tannins and generous length.
