CIRILLO 1850 Ancestor Vine Semillon, Barossa Valley

Fruit driven Pinot Gris with great balance of acid and length on the palate. Sourced from the families Early Rise vineyard in the Adelaide Hills. A vineyard that consistently delivers fruit with high acid and natural flavours. A fresh, vibrant wine to be shared with friends. Ripe pear and peach aromas are complimented by juicy, ripe pear flavours and a creamy mouthfeel, perfectly balanced with crisp acidity. Drink now - 3 years.

‘PIQ’, or Piquepoul, is the newest white wine from the Lienert stable. A fresh dry white akin to Eden Valley Riesling, but without all that mucking about in high altitude stuff. In a nutshell, Piquepoul is kind of like Riesling, but with a tantalising ocean mist character about it. Heralding from southern France, this crisp refreshing white has claimed ‘Official Oyster Wine’ status in its home country, such is the degree to which oysters and Piquepoul are joined at the hip. It does of course pair equally as well with mussels, abalone, clams and pipis!

When Pete and Magali purchased the Dominion Vineyard in 2018, they were particularly excited to work with a tiny block of Chenin Blanc vines almost 100 years old. This is their first solo release from this ancient fruit. The Chenin fruit from this old site holds natural breadth and intensity of flavour, so Pete picks early to capture natural freshness and preserve balance. The fruit is crushed without destemming and pressed to French oak for fermentation, followed by partial malolactic conversion and maturation in demi-muids. What a wine this is! All those juicy, exuberantly fruity Chenin Blanc aromas and flavours, with the typical Spinifex thumbprint of texture and salinity. Watch this space, if this first release is anything to go by then this may soon become one of the country's leading Chenin Blancs.

The Two Hands The Boy Riesling 12 Pk 2024 is a stunning representation of the Barossa Valley region. Vibrant and full of life, this Riesling showcases a pale straw hue with flecks of green, inviting you to indulge in its aromatic bouquet. Upon first sniff, notes of freshly sliced green apples, citrus zest, and delicate white flowers dance on the nose, accompanied by a hint of wet stone minerality. On the palate, flavours of ripe peaches, juicy pears, and tangy lime burst forth, supported by a racy acidity and a touch of residual sweetness. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a refreshing and clean sensation on the tongue. This vintage from Two Hands Wines truly embodies the essence of a classic Australian Riesling, and is a testament to the winery's dedication to quality and excellence.
