Longview Gruner Vetliner
This Gruner Vetliner by Longview has a brilliant clarity and pale straw colour. Aromas of pear, white pepper and celery notes are evident and the palate is dry and spicy with a lingering finish of white peach, underpinned with lovely refreshing acidity.
Strelley Farm Pet Nat White
Strelley Farm Estate is located in the heart of Tasmania's Coal River Valley wine region and is connected to the historical town of Richmond by the oldest bridge in Australia, the Richmond Bridge. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling and Gewurztraminer, the naturally sparkling wine displays bright passionfruit and citrus aromatics with flavours of lime, red apple and nougat.
Zing Thing Blood Orange Spritz
Let’s talk ‘party in the sun’ – or even party in your glass! This ‘sunshine in a glass’ Spritz brims with the delicious fresh flavours of ripe blood orange, balanced beautifully by zesty orange citrus, and kept lively by fine, persistent bubbles. Serve over ice, in any glass you like, perhaps a slice of fresh orange and, if possible, head for a seat in the sun. Fruity, chic, fun and very refreshing.
Hugel Gentil
Alsace is in the far north-eastern corner of France and is noted for its excellent white wines. It is the only AOC region in France that is allowed to produce wines designated by the name of the grape variety from which they are produced. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Hugel family gained an enviable reputation for their winegrowing skills and for the meticulous way in which they cultivated their vineyards. While it's typical for one of the wine world's most northern climates to produce vintages of distinct character, the latest stands out, delivering some of the lowest yields in the last 30 years, extremely high acidity levels and healthy fruit harvested at high ripeness levels. The bouquet is very aromatic with white peach, fresh almond, green apple and floral notes. The wine is dry on the palate, fresh and well balanced, with a supple finish.
Mount Majura Pinot Gris
Opulent, flushed with pear juice flavour with sighs of orange blossom and citrus.
Deep Woods Estate Sauvignon Blanc
This estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc and fruit from selected Southern Margaret River growers. Zesty citrus, passionfruit and herbal aromas are combined with hint of 'gunflint'. The palate exhibits clean passionfruit and citrus flavours, with a core of cleansing natural acidity that provides freshness and poise with a persistent and flavoursome finish.
Amelia Park Semillon Sauvignon Blanc
There's plenty of Margaret River character here in this crisp Semillon Sauvignon Blanc white blend. There is texture and lively fruit. The nose displays a subtle tropical character with the addition of pear and citrus edges. The palate is delicate yet intensely flavoured with a very long finish. There is a delightful freshness in there.
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.
Maude Pinot Gris
This Pinot Gris combines fruit from premium sites in Central Otago, including Maude's mature family owned vineyard in Wanaka, Mt Maude. This Pinot gris has typical aromas of ripe pear, quince and brioche lead onto a rich textured palate where whole bunch pressing and partial barrel fermentation has created complexity.
Main Divide Chardonnay
Main Divide is named after the local name for Southern Alps that divide New Zealand's south island in two. Their 2008 Chardonnay is made using traditional Burgundian methods and has resulted in a wine of great complexity. Aromas and flavours of zesty citrus, with palate covering peach and a hint of fresh toast.
