Quealy Lina Lool
This is named after the aromatic compounds stored in the skins of Moscato Giallo. This is a blend of Friulano (45%), Riesling (26%), Moscato Giallo (19%) and Malvasia Istriana (7%), all from Quealys Balnarring home block. The grapes were added to a rolling ferment (as they were harvested) to open-top amphorae, and the wine spent six months on skins. It was then basket-pressed, roughly settled and allowed to mature in old French puncheons before being bottled 12 months later.
Xanadu Exmoor Sauv Blanc Semillon
Clean grapefruit on the nose and palate balanced by crisp, fresh acidity on the finish. This is a classic Margaret River dry white. 'No trepidation here with the lead variety - it's a full-on tropical fruit basket topped with passionfruit, plus a herbal spectrum that pushes wildly as well in an energetic aromatic beginning, though eases back into a more lemon-citrus toned palate while a good, pithy mouth feel adds texture and depth in the finish.' - AdelaideAdvertiser, Tony Love.
Castello Del Poggio Pinot Grigio delle Venezie
The Zonin familys Castello del Poggio Delle Venezia Pinot Grigio draws fruit from sustainably grown vineyards in North-East Italy. It is typified by pure fresh green apple, pear, lemon glacé aromas and flavours, attractive minerally textures and crisp clean acidity. The Castello de Poggio brand is steeped in history going back to 1699 and the ancient fortress on the original property at Asti goes back to the 12th Century. After its acquisition in 1985 the Zonin family expanded the vineyards and extended the range to include wines from the Tre Venezie zone. This expansive landscape comprising the Veneto, Friuli-Venezia-Giuila and Trentino-Aldo-Adige wine regions broadly corresponds to the old Venetian Republic. High tech winemaking, respect and care for the environment and precision viticulture practices result in a signature light dry crunchy style with beautiful clarity and flavour intensity. It can be enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with salads, vegetarian dishes, white meats and seafood of all types.
Punt Road Whole Bunch White
A lovely off white, copper hue to the wine. Not quite rose, but a really appealing blush. The nose has mandarin peel, fennel and a touch of funk and wet earth. Palate is racy, with cumquat and dried flower notes. Finishes with a vanilla note, and a savoury, phenolic bite. Theres skinsy and bunchy notes throughout, but they are in harmony with the pristine fruit and energy of a white wine from this cool, humid year.
Contesa Pecorino dAbruzzo
Contesa means 'quarrel' in Italian. Refreshingly dry and moreish, with a floral bouquet and lovely depth on the pure, orchard-fruited palate, this is a top-class example of this fashionable variety. Rocco Pasetti was for many years the Chief winemaker of the Roxan Cooperative in Abruzzo and is one of the most dynamic and talented producers in the region. More recently Rocco, with his wife Patrizia and children Franco, Ugo and Perla, has purchased his own estate, Vigna Corvino, with 30 hectares outside Pescara, planted to montepulciano and pecorino. The vines are planted on gentle hills between the Appennine Mountains and the Adriatic sea, at 250 metres above sea level. The climate and rainfall is moderate and combined with the clay soils, produces fragrant, quite rich wines. Rocco has abandoned weed killers and pesticides in favour of more natural methods. The cellar, completed in 2004, has been carved into the hillside amongst the vines. The fermentations occur in temperature controlled stainless-steel tanks, and the maturation of the reds occurs in traditional Slavonian oak botte.Contesa means 'argument' in Italian and is a salute to Rocco's winemaking great grandfather, who fought a hard battle with a local landowner to preserve his own vineyards back in 1903.
