2006 Vintage Mailout Details

2006 Riesling -One of 3 Gold Medal winners at the Tasmanian Wine Show in 2007. 93/100 by James Halliday who outlined 10plus years cellaring potential. A most complex but pleasing wine, with heaps of character and potential. Has been sold in most of Launceston’s top restaurants, and by the glass in ARIA Restaurant in Sydney...(Winner of Australia’s best Restaurant Wine List last year). Hurry, not much left ! 10% Discount for cases (A$25.00 per bottle as part of a dozen)

2006 Chardonnay -Just released, not shown in any wine shows yet. More in the chablis style than an Aussie chard, delicate, complex with confectionary stone and citrus fruit and savoury overtones. Great served chilled on a summers day or an even better wine paired with food. Funky nose from wild yeat fermentation, will continue to develop the “stink” with a few more years in bottle..my guess is this one will cellar for 5-10 years no problem. (A$20 per bottle as part of a dozen).

2006 Landbridge Pinot -The best selling wine at our cellar door. Earthy, savoury sweet pinot fruit on the nose with a silky smooth palate of spicy plumb, cherry and red fruit. Has power but finesse and will continue to develop . Bronze Medal Winner at Hobart International Wine Show (just missed a Silver by half a point !) ...did well compared to many Tassie Pinot’s from this vintage.  (A$20.00 per bottle as part of a dozen).

2006 Three Wishes Pinot -Very limited supply, being shown in Tassie Wine Show this week. Big bold and complex (as usual !), the wine has spicy, perfumed aromas of violet, betroot and red fruits, with a dark colour and great consistency of palate. Starting to develop “the funk” on the nose with earthy, barnyard overtones..should continue to develop with time-drink now or put down for 2-10 years. (A$35.00 per bottle).

Order via e-mail, please send your order and address. I will confirm price and get in touch for payment details (we can take orders via email or phone using credit card facilities) or we can send you direct debit details if you prefer. Have a great new year, and dont forget our 07 Vintage is the best we have made yet..to be released late 2008 (see Blog -Vintage Update for 2007 “From the Winery").

Adios Amigos Peter
