A rich dessert wine with concentrated marmalade and barley sugar like qualities. Beautifully smooth and mouth filling yet supremely balanced with crisp acidity to give a mouth tingling finish. Available in halves. (12 x 37.5 cl)

Dark in colour, almost opaque with an inviting bouquet of ripe cassis and brambles. On the palate, the wine is rich and fleshy with just enough tannin to provide structure and grip. A massively concentrated wine, from low yielding old vines. (12 x 75 cl)

Made with fruit from McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek. Super-ripe with tropical fruit flavours and hints of melons and grapefruit. Subtle oak gives a hint of smoke and a lovely creamy texture, balanced by good thread of acidity. (12 x 75 cl)

Made with fruit from McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek. Peppery characters and ripe soft Shiraz flavours are enhanced in this wine by careful oak maturation in French and American barrels. (12 x 75 cl)

Omaka Springs Estates is a family business owned by Geoff and Robina Jensen. The vineyards consist of 178 acres that lie across the Omaka Valley in the heart of Marlborough’s wine growing area. The first vines were planted in 1989 and further developed when Omaka Springs Estates were established in 1992. The winemaker Ian Marchant has been with Omaka Springs since 1997 and this Sauvignon Blanc is grown in a perfect combination of warm sunny days and cool nights to produce the highest quality grapes for use in their wines. The grapes were machine harvested on the morning in early May when they were at full ripe maturity. After careful extraction the juice was settled and racked off the lees before fermenting at 12°C. Fermentation was stopped to achieve the desired residual sugar level and the wine held in temperature controlled conditions until final filtering just two months later. Great care from the vineyard to the winery has produced pale straw coloured wine with green tints. On the nose are lemon and lime-evoking aromas that develop on the palate of this zesty wine.
