Description:
Matilda Plains is an exciting new range from the Bremerton stable. Bremerton is a small family owned winery in the prestigious Langhorne Creek region of South Australia. The Bremerton story began in 1985 when Craig and Mignonne Willson purchased the property and established a long term restoration and development plan. The winery was established in 1988 and now has 110 acres planted at Langhorne Creek and is joint owner and manager of another 180 acres from which it selects the best fruit each year for its wines. The winemaking team headed by family member and winemaker Rebecca Willson has taken the quality of the wines to new standards. Rebecca seeks the best possible fruit from the Bremerton Estate and other specialised Langhorne Creek vineyards to craft traditional, full bodied, full flavoured, mouth filling Langhorne Creek wines that show a consistency of style whilst encouraging the true varietal grape characteristics to be expressed. Matilda Plains provides a modern, unique, and delicious range of wines. The distinctive label features the Willson family's much loved border collie Matilda helping in the vineyard. Matilda Plains Winery is located in Langhorne Creek, South Australia where grapes have been traditionally grown for over 100 years. This Sauvignon Blanc has been made from fruit grown in Langhorne Creek as well as fruit from the neighbouring Currency Creek region and has captured the true characteristics of this aromatic variety. Once the harvest is comple the grapes are crushed and the free run juice was drained, cooled and allowed to settle. The juice was then racked off lees and inoculated with yeast for a long, cool ferment. Following fermentation, the wine was filtered and bottled with no oak influence. A pale yellow coloured zesty Sauvignon Blanc it is fresh with fruity aromas. A balanced but lively palate this wine is displaying a hint of apple and citrus fruits with good acid structure and a crisp refreshing finish. (12 x 75 cl)

Wolf Blass GREY LABEL Cabernet Sauvignon LanghorneCreek South Australia
Description: The Grey Label LanghorneCreek Cabernet Sauvignon is deep red in colour. The bouquet of rich berry fruit with aromas of spice, mint and eucalyptus is given complexity by hints of dark chocolate. These aromas develop on the palate, which is an elegant mouthful of flavour with soft, well-integrated tannins, subtle vanillin oak characters and a lingering finish. VITICULTURE The fruit for this wine was sourced from the outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards at LanghorneCreek. LanghorneCreek has long been the preferred region for Grey Label Cabernet Sauvignon as the rich, deep alluvial soils have been a maritime influence, producing fruit with great richness and depth of flavour. WINEMAKING Following crushing the wine was left to ferment on the skins for between five to seven days, allowing for the optimum release of colour and flavour. This technique maximised the intensity of fruit flavour without extracting excessive tannins to ensure that this wine is approachable in its youth, a hallmark of Wolf Blass wines. Individual parcels completed fermentation in new and seasoned French and American oak then wine was returned to the original oak barrels for 18 months maturation. After maturation our winemaking team carefully assessed each parcel before blending and bottling. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £130.88
