Moondah Brook Chardonnay Verdelho Western Australia from Australia, Western Australia by Moondah Brook Western Australia (6 x 75 cl)

Pale gold in colour with an aromatic, bright bouquet of fresh fig, gooseberry, kiwi fruit and melon. On the palate it is medium bodied, freshly acidic with a long aftertaste and a finish sufficiently dry to complement seafood Sauvignon Blanc grapes for this firm but fruity white wine are derived from our vineyards in northern Tasmania. Being at the same latitude as Marlborough in New Zealand it is not surprising that the wine has an aromatic crisp style of wine with a herbaceous tang, a tropical fruit palate and some richness and length of flavour . Scott Henry trellises helps to expose the ripening bunches to the sun and the harvest takes place in late April. At the Piper's Brook winery the grapes are crushed with great care being taken to avoid juice oxidation or browning. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats and the wine is bottled early to which gives it its fruitiness and freshness. (6 x 75 cl)

Plantagenet OMRAH Cabernet Sauvignon Western Australia from Australia, Western Australia by Plantagenet Wines Mount Barker W Australia (6 x 75 cl)

Light, mid-gold in colour with a complex bouquet of primary pear melon and citrus characters supported by the nuttiness of French oak and the butterscotch, honey and coffee aromas derived from malolactic fermentation and the oxidative handling process. On the palate this is quite a big wine in structure balanced by the natural acidity achieved in the vineyards, with ripe, malo and some French oak, though none of these characters dominates. It requires 1 to 2 years to develop its full complexity and has sufficient delicacy for long term aging in cool cellars. Sourced entirely from Pipers Brook Vineyard grapes more than half of this years blend came from vineyards at Pipers Brook including blocks A3 and A4 from the 24 year old ''Summit'' vineyard with the balance from the ''Timperton'' and Strathlynn'' vineyards. All the vines used are between 10 and 24 years old. Oxidative handling is employed to subdue the primary fruit characters and develop complex flavours suitable for long term bottle development. Some barrel fermentation takes place in both new and old French oak as well as stainless steel tanks. (6 x 75 cl)

Vinification: the grapes are harvested at cool temperatures, mainly at night, to maintain ripe fruit character. Following a cool fermentation in stainless steel vats, the wine is then bottled early to capture fruitiness and freshness. Tasting note: a ripe and full style of Chardonnay benefiting from balancing acidity and a long crisp citrus fruit finish. (6 x 75 cl)

Fresh bramble characters on the nose are followed by a lovely balance of peppery fruit full red fruits and gentle spice from the oak. This is Shiraz at its best in a style unique to Western Australia. (6 x 75 cl)
