Wolf Blass EAGLEHAWK Chardonnay South Eastern Australia
Description: The Eaglehawk Chardonnay is mid straw in colour with a vibrant youthful hue. The bouquet is typical of Australian chardonnay with tropical melon and peach characters and subtle oak integration. The palate is medium weight with rich fruit flavours and a backbone of supporting oak. The finish is crisp, dry and refreshing. Winemaker: David Tierney Suggested food: Chicken and mushroom risotto Cellaring: Drinking very well now and can be cellared for up to three years. Viticulture: Cool to mild weather leading up to the 2002 vintage produced ideal ripening conditions. 100% Chardonnay fruit was sourced from a range of vineyard sites in the premium wine growing regions of South Eastern Australia. Vinification: Following crushing, the wine was cool fermented to retain the fresh fruit flavours. Traditional winemaking techniques including stirring on yeast lees and malolactic fermentation were used on small parcels to further enhance these flavours and add a greater complexity and creamy mouthfeel. The wine was oak matured in American oak for a short time to complete the palate weight and mouthfeel. (12 x 75 cl)

Althaus DOMAINE A
Description: Peter and Ruth Althaus' 20ha property in the Coal River Valley in Southern Tasmania is truly remarkable in that the Cabernet, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc that it produces is not just high quality but is truly of world class. Here they are producing not only the 'Stoney Vineyard' but the 'Domaine A' range of wines. Peter Althaus was formerly a business man with IBM, working in Geneva. Having developed a palate for fine European wine and a curiosity for how he could set about making it, the Althaus' set about finding a vineyard site with potential to make outstanding wines. Virtually all of the European sites had already been identified so the search was extended to the Southern hemisphere. Peter long favoured the Central Otago region of New Zealand but eventually settled on the tiny 1 hectare property that today forms Domaine A. Since 1989, when they took over the Domaine, planting has increased to 20 hectares and includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Petit Verdot and Sauvignon Blanc. Vines are densely planted and the sloping North/North East aspect coupled with a temperate maritime climate ensures that the grapes have a long, cool growing season (12 x 75 cl)
