Grant Burge East Argyle Pinot Gris
Grant Burge East Argyle Pinot Gris is a pale yellow coloured wine which is highlighted by greenish tinges throughout. Its appealing bouquet gives off fragrances of sweet and spicy pears, vanilla ice cream and baked cheesecake, infused with subtle nuances of cinnamon and nutmeg. The rich and textured palate is packed with apricot, peach and pear flavours that end in a clean, lengthy and flavoursome climax. This magnificent Pinot Gris can either be consumed upon release or be cellared for a few years to enhance depth and flavour. Fish, fresh vegetables, crabs and shellfish go hand in hand with this excellent wine.
Geoff Weaver Riesling
Geoff Weaver has journeyed from the big end of town to a tiny, intimate pocket of the Adelaide Hills. From his role as chief winemaker for the Hardy group of companies, in 1992 he made the break from corporate winemaking to pursue his own dream on the Lenswood vineyard that he and wife Judith had started planting a decade earlier. Those vines, some of the oldest in the Hills, are really reaping the rewards of maturity. Tightly structured yet aromatically lifted wine but with a supple mid-palate and a fine, crisp finish. The nose is fresh and lively with a lifted aroma of lime blossom. The palate is fruity with a juicy zest and a fine mineral edge.
