Masi Tupungato CORBEC Appassimento Argentina
Description: Corbec has already shown great complexity, balance, power and elegance in this first experimental year. The unique and easy to recognise qualities of Corvina have balanced perfectly with the exuberant virility and tannins of the Malbec, making for a unique and fascinating aroma/taste profile.As with Amarone, this wine will go well with strong-tasting foods and mature cheeses. To be served in large glasses at 18°C. VINIFICATION Masi are specialists in the appassimento method with their four Amarone wines and three Reciotos. This is the method applied here in successive stages after a harvest of selected grapes up to the final assemblage. The selected grape bunches were laid on specially constructed wooden trays, made in imitation of the Venetian “arelle”, for 22 days. The time taken for appassimento was short thanks to the naturally dry, warm and well-ventilated local climate. The grapes lost about 31% of their weight and gained in concentration of sugars and aromas. Soft pressing and de-stalking followed. The grapes were fermented at a constant 16°C for 30 days in stainless steel tanks. After racking, the wine completed its fermentation at 18°C for 35 days with the help of selected yeasts. Maturation followed in medium-toasted French oak barriques for 18 months. The separate varieties were then assembled and the resulting wine was transported to Italy in flexitank containers under a nitrogen seal. Ageing continued in stainless steel containers until the bottling period in January. Good bottle-ageing potential is predicted. (6 x 75 cl)

Pipers Brook ESTATE Chardonnay Tasmania Australia
Description: 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)
