This week we are featuring the Tempranillo 2011 from 30 March, 2013

Pale lemon/gold in colour, this wine has aromas of nectarine, lemon and lime zest, and a hint of nuttiness. In the mouth it is full of minerally nectarine, lemon, and hints of grilled cashew and oat bran. All of this is perfectly balanced by the spicy vanilla of high quality French oak. It has a creamy texture, and a crisp finish, making it a good example of elegant restrained Chardonnay

A fresh white wine showing melon, lemon and musk flavours with a hint of almond. A stylish modern white wine for early enjoyment. Pale in colour, this wine exhibits aromas of melon, lemon and grapefruit. It is a soft textured wine which finishes clean and fresh.
Ralph Kyte-Powell review April 2013
Deep ruby red in colour, the nose displays leafy dusty blackcurrant/cassis and mulberry. On the palate this wine is full of blackberry pastille mixed with a touch of smoky oak and a hint of charcuiterie. The finish is clean and elegant, with a suggestion of vanilla.
This wine is inspired by the young gluggable wines from the Rioja region in north-eastern Spain. It is a blend of Tempranillo (juicy blackberry spiciness), Grenache (earthy raspberry), and Mourvedre (brooding dark berries). Full of juicy dark berry fruits, earthiness, and a hint of spices. The palate is brimming with gorgeous juicy plum, macerated raspberry and blackberry, earth savoury notes, and dried undergrowth. The finish is soft and satisfying, with gentle tannins. A well balanced wine that is very moreish and savoury.

Cherry red in colour, this wine has aromas of red berry fruits and roses, with a hint of earthiness. Red currants and blood plum dominate, with an undercurrent of baked earth and dried Italian herbs. The finish is long with grippy tannins and pronounced acidity. A refreshing medium bodied red of great character and poise.

A savoury food friendly wine full of juicy sour cherry fruit. This wine is full of lifted dark cherry and spice on the nose. It is a supple, silky wine that is dense, savoury, and very refined.

A medium to full bodied elegant Shiraz. This wine shows spicy earthy blackberry fruit and red plums. The palate unfolds with juicy blackberries, forest fruits, white pepper notes and an underlying earthiness. Sourced from Sunbury Wine Region

A wine bursting with concentrated dark berry flavours and exotic spice. The ripe fruit and fine tannins make this an impressive drink. Deep purple in colour, there are blackberries and blueberries on the nose, with a wisp of Central Victorian eucalypt. The deftly handled French oak enhances the richness of the fruit and adds complexity.
