Wolf Blass GOLD LABEL Chardonnay Adelaide Hills South Australia
Description: The Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is soft gold with a hint of green colour in the glass. Aromas of grapefruit and nectarine develop into a full, rich, yet elegant palate with varietal chardonnay flavours, a complex creamy texture and long finish. VITICULTURE The Adelaide Hills rise from an elevation of 400m and are a full two degrees cooler in summer than the Barossa Valley. The region also boasts a variety of soil types and misty wet weather during spring that prevents excessive fruit set. The fruit for this wine was sourced entirely from the Adelaide Hills. The vineyards used best display the qualities of this unique cool climate region; small yields of exquisite fruit, with all the finesse of the world’s best chardonnay. WINEMAKING The fruit from each vineyard was separately fermented with a combination of wild and cultured yeasts in new French oak. A portion of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation and lees stirring to add richness, complexity and mouthfeel to the wine. The individual vineyard parcels were then matured in French oak prior to final blending. The wine remained unfiltered until bottling, and was then bottled under screwcap to ensure freshness and preserve the characters of the wine. CELLARING The screwcap closure ensures the freshness and character of the wine is preserved and enables upright cellaring for longer periods. This wine is enjoyable now but will continue to improve with careful cellaring for years to come. (6 x 75 cl)

Charles Melton NINE POPES Barossa Valley South Australia
Description: The Barossa Valley Nine Popes is a blend of 54% Grenache, 44% Shiraz and 2% Mourvedre. It is deep coloured, with wonderful musky Grenache and just a touch of spicy, leathery Shiraz perfumes on the nose. A relatively cool vintage, with milder, wetter weather before harvest, this has resulted in a more perfumed, elegant wine than the drought year of 2003. It has a long length, with spicy blackberry perfumes on the finish. This was an excellent vintage for the Grenache in this blend and its quality shines through. Charles Melton Wines has produced premium Barossa red wines since 1984. Charlie and a small band of Barossa winemakers turned their winemaking efforts to what were then considered a couple of unfashionable varieties: Shiraz and Grenache. These wines were initially styled on those from the Rhône but are now considered leading examples of the varieties in their own right. Probably one of the only wine titles to grow out of linguistic incompetence, the origin of ‘Nine Popes’ is an interesting one! Once Charlie had settled on a Rhone blend, he decided to name the wine after the world's most famous wine from the southern Rhone, Châteauneuf du Pape. The problem was that his French skills were somewhat sketchy and he thought that Châteauneuf du Pape meant home of the ‘Nine’ popes. This wine is sealed under Stelvin closure to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition. (12 x 75 cl)
