What's in this mixed case?
-
The Red Claw Sauvignon Blanc 2019 is bright and aromatic, with intense citrus aromas, floral notes and a lovely gentle herbal edge. The palate is crisp and crunchy, with the fruit sweetness well balanced by clean acidity. -
The Pizzini 2020 Pinot Grigio offers aromas of lemon, lime and pear on the nose. The palate showcases flavours of apples, nashi pear and an abundance of lime. -
The T'Gallant Cape Schanck Pinot Noir 2019 is a bright and sweet-fruited pinot noir, approachable and wonderfully perfumed. Ripe berries, smoked meats and spice on the nose.
-
The Pacha Mama Chardonnay 2018 features bright fresh citrus notes that bounce from the glass, followed by delicate toasted hazelnuts, melon and hints of tarragon. Delicate oak and crisp acidity complement the vibrant lemon and plush melon palate. The soft integrated oak and natural acidity of the wine entwine to create a long and balanced wine with a crisp and satisfying finish.
-
ATR's Chockstone Shiraz is known for its complex layers of flavours, nicely balanced acidity, and fine tannins. The 2019 is deep and dark with black fruits, dark chocolate and spice. It finishes rich and smooth.
-
The 2019 Fallen Giants Black Range Shiraz features aromas of boysenberry, blackberry and dark cherry fruits, laced with cocoa, clove and pepper spice. The palate features flavours of intense blue and black fruits that dominate, heightened by the presence of blue florals, hints of plum and pepper spice. Fine tannin, subtle oak and fine acidity help to achieve lovely length and balance. -
Circe Wines is a partnership between Dan Buckle, the current head winemaker at Domaine Chandon, and Aaron Drummond. With a shared appreciation for their native Mornington Peninsula and pinot noir, Circe very soon developed a reputation for producing some of the best examples of pinot noir and chardonnay in the region.
-
Riesling vines were first planted as part of Henry Bests Nursery Block vineyard in the 1860s. From subsequent plantings in 1944 and 1978, riesling has become a significant part of their regime. The riesling vines from Great Western produce flavoursome, elegantly structured, spectacularly age-worthy rieslings which stand confidently alongside some of the most outstanding Australian examples of the variety. This 2019 vintage features lifted and intense aromatics of musk, honeysuckle, kaffir lime leaf and crushed rock. The palate is fine and fragrant with steely acidity. Fruit weight smooths the edges and a powdery lime rind and river stone minerality holds everything in place for a long finish.
-
The Blue Pyrenees Estate Richardson Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 features aromas of blackberry fruit, and violets, with cedary french oak. The palate showcases flavours of blackcurrant, iodine, green olive and choc mint. The integration of all these flavours in French oak also adds to the structure and tannin, creating a long savoury aftertaste. -
The Warramunda Estate Liv Zak Pinot Noir 2019 offers aromas of sweet strawberries, raspberries and rich Christmas cherries. The palate is soft, fresh and vibrant with a racy line of acidity that carries juicy, bright red currants and summer berries and a fine, supple tannin structure.
94-points from Patrick Eckel- "....The palate shows some considered winemaking technique, it has embraced the fruit being picked early, with a crunch to red cherry fruit. There is a subtle build of texture and fruit that never moves beyond medium bodied; subtle spice and gentle undergrowth knit beautifully with more elegant fruit as it moves across the palate. The finish is long, and finely structured. This wine has a wonderful future ahead of it."
