Franz Haas MANNA CRU Montagna
Description: The Franz Haas Winery focuses on varietals which best express the wonderful character, varied microclimates and unique terroir of the Alto Adige. Founded in 1880, the Franz Haas Winery is a family owned property that has passed from father to son. Today, Franz Haas is the seventh generation to grow grapes on this beautiful estate, nestled at the foothills of the Alps. Very fresh and aromatic, with the Riesling and Traminer Aromatico to the fore. The barrel fermented Chardonnay adds depth and weight to the palate and a lightly spicy, but wellintegrated perfume to the nose. Tremendous length with the mineral quality of the Riesling lasting through to the finish. The success of the Haas wines is due to the remarkable character with which Franz manages to infuse his wines, and the fact that his ego doesn't dictate that he charges the sort of prices they get away with in Fruili. Franz is notoriously difficult to please when it comes to his own wines, but this produces wines of rare purity and balance, such is his desire to grow good grapes and preserve the flavours during winemaking.

David Franz OLD REDEMPTION Barossa Valley South Australia
Description: The old Redemption's pedigree is truly great, in 1947 the blend was begun and when David Franz father Peter Lehmann joined Saltrams in 1959, he nurtured and added to the reserves with additions of Shiraz, Dolcetto and Tokay. These stocks then formed the base for the awesome old Tawnys, Alameda Show and Mr Pickwick. When Peter Lehmann left Saltram in 1979 he owned a significant portion of these old Tawny Stocks. In the 1980's he created a new blend, the Old Redemption from these amazing old reserves. The mid 80's, 90's and 2000's saw a decline in the interest in fortifieds so he tucked away the Old Redemption in its barrels for another day. Today fortified wines have started to gain appreciation and recognition and they are again available with a little more maturity, character and sophistication. A deep burnt umber coloured wine with golden edges, great clarity and brightness. The huge upfront nose is lifted with grapy brandy spirit showing golden toffee, complex old oak overlaying smoky hints. The palate has a silky rich mouth feel that develops into a fiery delight of hot chilli like pepper fire and cleansing spirit, while sweet oak abounds. The concentrated raisin sweetness fills and caresses the mouth before opening lotus like to layer upon layer of spicy complexity finishing with cigar box memories. Available in 50 cl Bottles.

David Franz RED ROSE Shiraz Barossa Valley South Australia
Description: Pronounced as in the flower the Red Rose this wines history started back in the late 1800's when the Stonewall vineyard was first conceived. Back then you couldn't just pop down to the local production nursery, order 50,000 vine rootlings and whack them into the ground. It wasn't even known what varieties would flourish. The best way to find out was to plant a wide variety of vines, see which did well, then propogate and plant out from these base stocks. The end result 100 or so years later is the original nursery block, full of different vines on a patch of dry ground. This mixture of vines was a difficult to pick and separate because of the hodge-podge mix of old fashioned white and premium red varieties. Finally in 2002 the penny dropped for David Franz, rather than trying to pick all the little bits and pieces separately and add them to the larger lots from the rest of the vineyards, he decided to mix the lot together and see result. As soon as all the conditions were right this old block was picked, crushed and cold macerated the must for 5 days before basket pressing, cold settling and clarifying the juice. The clears were cold fermented over three weeks to dryness, then sat on yeast lees for about a month. The resultant wine was crisp and gutsy! To bring out the voluptuous fruit flavours a small portion of clarified juice, previously frozen was added back. The only option was to bottle under Stelvin closure to ensure every ounce of vibrancy would be retained. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £108.85
