A vibrant purple in colour, this wine displays a subtle combination of berry characters with a medium bodied structure. The wine has soft tannins to allow for early enjoyment, however it should continue to develop more complex flavours over the next three years with bottle age.

Hand picked fruit from our mudgee vineyard. The season was dry and warm with strong flavours well suited to Chardonnay. The wine was partially fermented in brand new French oak hogsheads then stored 6 months in a combination of new and two year old French oak barrels. The nose is dominated by the nutmeg spice of the oak but the flavour is soft in acidity and subtle. Although ideal to drink immediately the wine will repay cellaring up until 2010

One of the most successful marriages of different varieties Sauvignon blanc and Semillon complement each other is several ways. The fragrant fruity Sauvignon blanc is counterpointed by the subtlety of Semillon to present a wine with the aroma of passionfruit and gooseberries on a crisp lemon flavoured palate. Refreshing to drink on its own the wine will evolve and deliver additional flavours when enjoyed with white fleshed meat or fish or when accompanying pasta.

The first approach to the wine delivers a fresh clean varietal bouquet with estery citrus blossom notes. The palate is light yet with good persistence. It is characterised by lemon sherbet flavours and typical crisp grassy overtones. The wine can be enjoyed young but will reward with some aging as it develops honey flavours and bottle age.

The 2005 season was an ideal growing season for the Mudgee region. The harvest remained dry and hot and the resulting are strong fragrant but not heavy. Deep coloured with red currant aroma it is backed by a subtle vanilla flavour. The wine was matured in French and American oak hogsheads for 14 months prior to bottling. The wine will be better for further maturation until at least 2010.

A fabulous spring and dry growing season was unbeknownst to us the precusor to the 07 drought. Still the quality of these wines does make up for it. Hand picked and fermented in traditional open fermenters for complexity and tannin management the wine was finished in older American oak. Black plum, ink and vanillon aromatics with some underlining earthy complexity. The palate is rich and well textured with a substantial tannin framework. Opens beautifully with time in the glass. Will cellar equally well for 3 to 8 years

A fabulous spring and dry growing season was unbeknownst to us the precursor to the 07 drought. Still the quality of these wines does make up for it. Hand picked and fermented in traditional open fermenters this is an old fashioned no holds barred sort of wine. Iodine and blackcurrant on the nose, the palate is solid and chunky for a cabernet. Initially closed - this wine opens beautifully to reveal a surprisingly elegant structure and some deliciously intertwined oak. Will cellar well for 3 - 8 years.
