Description:
From the 1,000 metre high slopes of Mount Canobolas this beautifully rich but soft style exhibits all sorts of red berry, mocha, anise and vanillin aromas and flavours.
Made entirely from fruit grown on Capercaillie’s own estate. The quite full-bodied, predominantly melon, grapefruit & peach fruit characters are complemented by an underlay of tight, nutty and creamy vanillin oak and a crisp, lingering freshness. (12 x 75 cl)
A pudding wine from Australia’s Hunter Valley. Late harvested fruit, resulting in intense candied orange peel & passion-fruit aromas with marmalade & tangerine flavours and a very fresh, zingily crisp finish. (12 x 37.5 cl)
Using fruit sourced from McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek, Coonawara and the Hunter Valley , this wine is a gloriously big mouthful showing a very ripe, almost jammy style. The wine is both rich and intense with redcurrant flavours underpinned by oak notes of leather and vanillin. (12 x 75 cl)
Medium to full purple-red; clean, fresh, bright dark cherry fruit on the bouquet introduces a beautifully balanced and proportioned wine, with a mix of spicy/earthy secondary aromas. The palate is medium bodied with flavours all in a savoury spectrum. Estate produced from relatively young vines, and showing exceptionally skilful winemaking. This is what Australian Shiraz’s are all about. A fantastic example of a more subtle Australian Shiraz at its best – a medium bodied red with spicy/earth flavours and dark fruits. Mudgee is a small wine region to the north west of Sydney. It has some great red clay soils ideal for viticulture. Farmers Daughter is a boutique winery proud of its Mudgee and family routes. Lance and Gwen turned from farming to winemaking and named the winery for their daughters Michelle and Vicki. They recruited award winning winemaker Joe Lesnik who started making wine as an apprentice 38 years ago. Their 1999 Shiraz won the outstanding wine at the Mudgee Wine Show in 2001 and they have never looked back. We have two of their outstanding reds in the Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz and these bottles are prime examples of premium Aussie reds. (12 x 75 cl)
Medium red-purple; the bouquet and the palate is intense, fragrant blackcurrant aromas with plenty of sweet cassis fruit to be found, touches of chocolate and vanilla. Good tannin structure and mouth feel. Medium bodied red with fragrant blackcurrant flavours – another great wine from this noble grape variety.
