Pewsey Vale Riesling
Louisa Rose is a master when it comes to Riesling and Pewsey Vale consistently over delivers on quality and value every vintage. The current vintage has racy lime juice and citrus blossom with driving mineral acidity on the finish. 'This may be the best-value single vine wine in the country. The cooler climate wine is energetic and precise, rippling with zesty citrus and a bit of blossom, a dusting of talc and sprinkling of lemon thyme. It is a textbook Eden Valley riesling' (2014 Vintage) - 5 Stars. - Adelaide Advertiser, 27 Aug 2014, Nick Ryan.
Mount Horrocks Semillon
Mount Horrocks Semillon strikes the perfect balance between being aromatic and oaked. It also strides the line by being more full-bodied than Riesling but lighter than Chardonnay. Take pleasure as you swirl the pale straw wine in your glass, sniff the shy but appealing apple and ripe pear aromas, and sip the vibrant and refreshing fruit flavours of apple, white peach and lemon. The vanillin oak influence renders a silky texture, leading to a complex, elegant, long and dry finish. Match this wine with seafood such as oysters, crab, clams, fish and prawns. Asian chicken and pork dishes would also be favourable pairings with this drink.
John Duval Plexus Marsanne Roussanne Viognier
Winemaking: Gentle pressings were combined with free run juice and cold settled. Fermentation commenced in stainless steel but some of the Marsanne and Viognier finished fermentation in and was aged in barrel until bottled in early August. The remaining Marsanne and the Roussanne were aged on lees in a tank until bottling, to enhance the structure and texture of the wine. Colour: Attractive pale straw. Nose: Aromas of stone fruits, honeysuckle and Asian spice. Palate: Medium bodied with good texture, mouthfeel and balanced mineral acidity. Flavours of nectarine, pear, mandarine and Asian spice give to make it for good food pairing, possibilities from seafood to white meat.
