100% barrel fermented and full malo to soften the natural acid acquired in the cold Tumbarumba vineyards.
Also 12months in oak, 40% new.
Still the style is pretty lean and crisp.
Peach, hoenydew palate with a hint of creamy back palate. Quite long. Easy drinking. — 8 months ago
Stunning. So linear, light and bright and impeccably balanced. Delicious. — 3 years ago
An absolutely alluring nose with cloves, spice, dried meat and a trace of pepper. Barely medium weight on the palate. Barb loved it for that. Very different to Barossa or McLaren Vale Shiraz. Without a doubt the best Shiraz Viognier blend in Australia although Yarra Yering Dry Red No. 2 (with a few other Rhone varieties in the blend) would give it a run for its money. Really very good with a few years to go but pretty much at its peak. — 5 months ago
Long vintage, long ripeness,many aromatics.
Super crisp, very minty, balsamic.
This wine still needs a bit of bottle age.
Quite textural. Fruity with little honey and white pepper. Perfect with seafood.
Personally i find the aromatic side(mint mainly) a bit too much in your face, a bit overwhelming.
I am guessing it will integrate.
This wine has everything in place to age and get better. — 8 months ago
Brief notes. Meaty aromas - very savoury. See previous notes re this being Bryan Martin’s private venture while still working at Clonakilla with their Shiraz Viognier being the benchmark in the country. Love this Northern Rhone style wine. I was expecting pepper but got more spice and charcuterie. — 2 years ago
Light gold hue. Aromas of acetone, apple, butter, coconut, cream, graphite, oak, pear, vanilla. Medium body with medium acidity. Lovely finish but relatively short. Complex, but otherwise a standard New World Chardonnay. — 7 months ago
Top shelf Riesling. Aging beautifully. Drank over two days. Love aged Canberra district Riesling. Generally I've found that they need at least a decade to integrate. Balance of citrus fruits and talc. So different from Eden and Clare. This will go another decade easily. — 2 years ago
