DOMAINE PRIEURE ROCH Argillieres 1er Cru, Nuits-St-Georges

Eden Rift Estate Pinot Noir The Estate Pinot Noir is a stunning wine comprised of Dijon clones. The pinot is focused, and age-worthy, with a depth and intensity of red fruits, dark berries, persimmon, black tea and chalk-like, mineral notes. Medium in weight, the svelte tannins and long finish round out this altogether stellar wine. Vinification includes whole cluster fermentation, aged in French oak.

One of the benchmarks of Barossa Shiraz, Peter Lehmann's Stonewell is a classic example of the rich concentrated old vine style. While bold on the palate, there is always an inherent complexity to the Stonewell that enables it to be compared with all of the great Australian wines produced today.

Shaw & Smith is a benchmark Sauvignon Blanc. This release shows ripe tropical characters with restrained grassy notes and crisp dry acidity. Delightfully fresh lively and flavoursome. Always a classic and always quick to disappear off the shelves.

A pioneer of Merlot, James Irvine has produced an attractive plump style with leafy plum and mulberry flavours. The perfect match with crown of lamb.

Is this Australia's best Chardonnay? If not then it shares the rarified air reserved for only the finest examples. Rich yet restrained, with mineral notes, cashew and almond meal, amazing fruit complexity and wonderful length...why not try the benchmark?
