Tallarook Marsanne Upper Goulburn Victoria Australia
Description: Full bodied, rich and smooth, with intriguing aromas of pear and marzipan. On the palate smooth yeast creaminess is tempered by characteristic varietal chalkiness. The wine promises increased richness and interest with bottle age. Tallarook vineyards are situated on the northern slopes of the Great Divide Mountain Ranges in Central Victoria, Australia. Originally established in the mid eighties, the Riebl family have extended and improved the vineyards over the last twelve years. Handpicked and whole bunch pressed, the juice is cold settled, then directly transferred to French oak barrels where it undergoes wild yeast fermentation and partial malolactic fermentation. Racked off lees after twelve months, it is allowed to mature in old French oak for another 12 months before bottling. (6 x 75 cl)
Price: £62.62

Vasse Felix ADAMS ROAD Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Margaret River Western Australia
Description: Vasse Felix was the first commercial vineyard and winery to be established in the Margaret River region of Western Australia. The vineyard took its unusual name from an early event in the district. Vasse was a French seaman who drowned last century when his longboat overturned near the site of Busselton while exploring the coastline on the ship 'Geographe' under Captain Freycinet. Paradoxically, Felix is the Latin word for fortunate or luck. Thus the name refers to a favoured place in Australia discovered by the French. This wine displays a fine, deep crimson colour with royal purple hues. A complex aroma of mulberries, fruit jubes, bay leaf and dusty Cabernet is intertwined with spicy oak. The palate is soft and rich with fine emery-like tannins and a crisp tang reflecting itÕs cool climate origins. Flavours of stewed rhubarb and cranberries leave a lasting impression long after the last sip.
