Rich Dry Whites |
| Description: |
|
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)

Cline Cellars Viognier California
Description: At the turn of the 20th century, Oakley was home to a number of Portuguese and Italian immigrants who found many similarities to the Mediterranean climate they had left behind. They planted thousands of acres of orchards and vineyards. Today, a century later, due to the devastation of phylloxera and the encroachment of commercial and residential development, only 600 acres of vineyards remain in this evolving community. Cline Cellars owns and controls 300 of those acres including some of the oldest surviving vines in California. Cline Cellars began when Fred Cline's maternal grandfather, Valeriano Jacuzzi lived in Oakley and inspired him to go on to to U.C. Davis to study agriculture management. After attaining his degree in 1982, Fred returned to Oakley and founded Cline Cellars. There he started producing wines and restoring his grandfather’s ancient vines: today the Zinfandel, Carignane and Mourvedre produced from these vines are some of the most unique and historic wines made in California. In 1991, the winery relocated from Oakley to the Carneros region of Sonoma County. Here Fred pioneered the planting of Rhone varietals including Syrah, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne. Viognier is a tricky grape to grow. Its natural low acidity requires it to be picked at just the right moment. With this blend Cline Cellars chose grapes from vineyards that offered flavours indicative of the appellations from which they came. Solano County was chosen for its grapes are blessed with ample sun and provided maximum flavours. Their Mendocino vineyards, basking in warm days and cold nights contributed to the full-body weight of this wine and the Carneros vineyard was chosen because of the longer hang time required to boost the grapes flavours. All in all, this is an excellent balance of 3 vineyards. This Viognier shows big peach and apricot flavours mixed with citrus and floral notes: a powerhouse of flavour which will make an excellent match with flavourful foods like Mediterranean Stew and spicy Mexican dishes.
