Love French rose from Provence?
Then at this price this is a winner!
The Shiraz is all about instant satisfaction….plenty of rich, plump ripe dark fruits…the Mataro is meaty and savoury and acts as the perfect foil to the sweeter aspects of Barossa Shiraz. The resultant wines are classic Barossa...packed with flavour.
More open, enticing and expressive at first approach. Laser-like in its precision. A wine of energy and focus with tropical notes and mouthwatering acidity. Crisp pear, green apple, chamomile and jicama. Saline and fresh, displaying its pure essence without malolactic fermentation and devoid of new oak. Speaks of the sites on our property that attain full ripeness, but never lose their electricity. Tense, electric and satisfying. Full of energy. Almost vibrating.
Even with cards held tight, it displays white peach, lemon zest, white flowers and loquats. Hints of white truffle, lavender and fresh herbed chevre. With air, new aromatics: fresh baked croissant, almond flour and kumquat. Pure, compact and driving; tense and full of kinetic energy. Showing the seemingly endless sunlight and perfect growing conditions of 2018. Lifted and framed by classic Hilt sea salt and electricity on the finish along with touch of structure that is reminiscent today of an Asian pear.
Juicy and vibrant Aussie Shiraz bursting with ripe berry fruit, a touch of spice, and smooth tannins.
Single vineyard wine from Tarrawarra in the lower Yarra. Spur pruned MV6, 777, D4V6 and G5V15 clones on sandy loam soils with north western aspect at 140m elevation.
Entirely destemmed. Cold soak and fermentation in open fermenters. Selected yeasts. Hand plunged. Large format oak. 30% new Damy Alliers French oak for 11 months on lees.
Another fantastic pinot noir produced by Andrew Marks - complex and yet refined - light and yet powerful.
Aromas of ripe peach, grapefruit marmalade, blossoms and complex yeasty flavours complement the toasty oak in the wine. The palate is clean with a lovely texture and long finish.
Unwooded and well-balanced, with fresh melon and grapefruit flavours, and a full zesty palate.
Fine & focussed with a dense core of blue & red fruits - fleshy mid-palate, fine-grained tannins a long and complex aftertaste
Light bodied with super silky, mouth coating tannins; flavours of blueberry, raspberry, black olive and dark chocolate; delicate and mineral finish; can serve slightly chilled
