Australian Wine
One of Australian wine's great collector's pieces. This smooth, soft and structured red is made from Grenache, Mataro (also known as Mourvedre) and Alicante Bouchet. The grapes were fermented with their skins to gain maximum colour (which says a lot, since Alicante Bouchet is a red fleshed 'teinturier' grape). The result is a super likeable, spicy and flavoursome red with a full body and layers of baking spice, red fruit and dried fruit aromas.
An icon wine from a maverick trend setting winery.
Rockford Wines' legacy
Rockford Wines is an icon itself and a relatively new one, established in 1971 by Robert O'Callaghan, who has forged a reputation for preserving winemaking tradition and saving many of the world's oldest grape vines from being pulled up in the Australian Government's vine pull schemes of the 1970s and 1980s.
The Rockford vintage shed houses equipment from 50 to 100 years ago, which was discarded by other wineries as modernisation took over.
This is one of our best sellers for so many reasons, including it's attractively affordable price tag and consistent high quality winemaking from South Australian winemaker Johny Quarisa, who makes this smooth, fruity red made from Petit Syrah.
The warm Mediterranean climate in South Australia provides great ripening conditions for the late ripening Petit Sirah grape, which is also known as Durif. This grape is a cross between Syrah and Peloursin and was developed by the late French vine nurseryman, Dr Durif, whose aim was to make a disease resistant red grape variety which retained ripe flavours and body.
This is Yalumba's premium Viognier offering from their Rare & Fine Collection and shows all the hallmarks of classic Viognier; peach and citrus flavours bundled in an aromatic mouthful with that silky texture that the variety is so well known for. This wine is recognised as a benchmark for new world Viognier due to its stunning quality.
This wine was fermented using only indigenous yeasts, natural to the vineyard, allowing for excellent terroir expression. Lees ageing and regular batonnage for 10 months has increased the complexity and creaminess of the wine and further heightened the palate weight.
The nose shows apricot, honeysuckle and orange zest aromas. The palate offers a long, luscious texture and notes of orange zest, with a touch of honey and toast. A long, rich and luscious palate finishes with a citrussy freshness.
Cyril Henschke developed the Henschke reputation for premium riesling wines as early as the 1950s from the vineyard areas of Eden Valley, Keyneton and Springton in the Eden Valley wine region. This region provides ideal ripening conditions for the riesling grape and has a unique track record of exceptional ageing potential for the variety.
This riesling takes its name from a local landmark, Peggy’s Hill, at the top of the range between the villages of Eden Valley and Keyneton. Produced from selected traditional Henschke Eden Valley growers, whose vines are up to 50 years old, growing in low-vigour ancient Cambrian soils at around 500m altitude. This Eden Valley riesling displays exceptional varietal and regional characteristics.
Pale straw with lime hues. Lifted and perfumed aromas of citrus, almond blossom, jasmine and frangipani with notes of lemon zest, kaffir lime leaf and lemon thyme. The palate is fruit-focused with concentrated lime juice , green apple and stone-fruit flavours, supported by clean, crisp acidity and great length.
Samuel’s Gorge Grenache is an elegant wine, opening with peppery blood orange and cinnamon. Hints of amaro, field strawberries and undergrowth abound before light, delicate tannins flood the mouth with cherry, faint liquorice and soft red fruits, leaving a fresh acid zing and persistent spice-laden finish.
Enjoy with de-boned garfish wrapped in vine leaf and brik pastry with tabbouleh salad.
Age for 10 years plus.
Riesling is the greatest lower alcohol wine because it has more flavour than most grape varieties which lends itself to higher intensity of taste, balanced by naturally high acidity for freshness. Flavours here span the gamut of freshly picked apples, lemon sherbert and crisp lime juice in a refreshing, lower alcohol Riesling with its 9% ABV. This wine has a beautiful balance of flavour, natural acidity and great length with a long finish. This wine is a great way of enjoying a glass or two, without feeling the same impact of the same amount of wine with more typical alcohol levels of over 12% ABV.
The aim of the game here was to create a lower alcohol wine naturally without doctoring it, if you'll excuse the pun, by removing alcohol. The Riesling grapes in The Doctors' Riesling were fermented to a medium sweet level so that natural grape sugar is retained and the alcohol remains lower than usual.
Winemakers John and Beth Forrest (a father-daughter team) strike an excellent balance between fruity sweetness and bright acidity in this tasty wine.
Bright flavours, fresh and light in style - and lighter in alcohol too with 9% ABV. Sauvignon Blanc is well suited to lower alcohol wines because it's so intense in flavour and this lively wine expresses that with its tropical fruit aromas, fresh herb tastes and its fresh zesty acidity, which adds balance and length of taste.
A great wine to drink when you want less alcohol but still want to enjoy a drink or two. That little bit less alcohol makes a big difference... and here's a tasty example which is also dry in style with 5 grams residual sugar (that's natural sugar from the grapes, retained from stopping the fermentation early).
Samuel's Gorge Winery is in McLaren Vale; a wine region south of Adelaide, which is a hot bed of experimentation for classic European grape varieties such as Tempranillo, the great red grape of Spain.
This wine is dry, full bodied and complex with secondary flavour notes of freshly roasted coffee beans, liquorice and ripe, dark fruit notes. It drinks well now and can age for up to 10 years.
The sun baked earth of McLaren Vale provides a layered geology ideal for complex yet balanced wines laced with power and elegance. This Shiraz continues with that ideal, leading with blackberry, blackcurrant pastille and faint wisps of molasses, carried subtly by gentle tannins ? long and wide across the palate ? while roast beetroot and sarsaparilla tonic tantalise the olfactory.
Will age well for 10 years and more.
