A deep scarlet purple shiraz it has a nose showing great regional intense definition along with cassis chocolate aromas and charred vanillan oak. A full bodied wine with soft fine grained tannins, rich palate and good persistence. The strong Shiraz fruit flavours of pepper, spice and cherry are complimented by a subtle underlay of coconut / vanillan American oak. The old Shiraz vines at Sandy Hollow have producd an intensely flavoured ripe fruit flavoured wine. The grapes were crushed and chilled into a rotofermenter where they were allowed to cold soak for 3 days prior to inoculation with selected yeast strains. The grapes were then pressed in a bucher tank press prior to being stored in new Schahinger American and Hungarian oak barriques for 12 months. The wine was racked on a three monthly basis prior to being racked to tank and lightly fined using egg whites. No filtration was carried out during the winemaking process. (6 x 75 cl)

McHenry 3 AMIGOS Marsanne/Chardonnay/Viognier Magaret River Australia
Description: The primo amigo in this trio is marsanne, grown at the McLeod Creek and Calgardup Brook vineyards. Chardonnay is sourced from Rocky Road and the third amigo, rousanne, is grown at McLeod Creek. These vineyards lie in the southern half of the Margaret River wine region which has a strong maritime influence from the Great Southern Ocean. Three perfectly compatible grape varieties come together in a wine that is about texture and palate feel. The aroma opens with some slightly nutty, creamy characters showing the influence of barrel fermentation and time on lees. The palate really shines with lovely fine acidity providing a zingy freshness that allows the soft, generous flavours of the three varieties to reveal themselves through perfect integration. The finish is sustained with crisp acid, providing an exquisite lift. This is a beautiful, easy drinking wine that peels off new layers of flavour with each taste. (12 x 75 cl)

McHenry Hohnen Sauvignon Blanc Semillon Magaret River Australia
Description: The classic blend of Margaret River; in this case it's a 50/50 combination of these two exceptional bedfellows. Aromas of fresh gooseberry and passionfruit dominate tropical fruit aromas, working neatly into a generous mix of fresh cut grass and lemon citrus. The palate is intense but controlled and restrained with a fine acid and lingering, lively flavours. Fruit was sourced from southern Margaret River, a cooler part of the region which suits these two aromatic varieties. Viticultural practices, now taken as standard, have evolved over thirty years and to a large extent, this wine is made on the vine. It is a balancing act between leaf to crop ratio and the leaf's exposure to sunlight. The ability to harvest at night is all important. (12 x 75 cl)
