Trentham Estate MURPHY'S BIG RIVERS Chardonnay Murray River Western Australia
Description: In this wine, the winemakers have aimed for a soft fruit-driven style with subtle oak. As such, this wine displays soft tropical fruit flavours accompanied by well integrated subtle oak, resulting in an easy drinking wine. Trentham's second label wines are named after the Willandra lakes region which was fed by rivers rising in northern New South Wales and eventually drained into Lake Mungo, 110 km north of Trentham. All have now long dried up leaving sparse scrub and a spectacular range of sand dunes with ancient aboriginal sites still visible in the area that 20,000 to 60,000 years ago must have been a flourishing region. The Witlandra and Murphy's labels have been designed to reflect the timeless environment of lakebeds, sand-drifts and sandstone outcrops contrasting against the vibrant blue Australian sky. The wines are produced in an 'easy drinking' style but without compromising the richness of fruit. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £82.49

Kautz IRONSTONE VINEYARDS SYMPHONY OBSESSION California
Description: Ironstone’s Obsession has youthful aromas that are markedly floral. Extremely drinkable, this lusciously brilliant and fanciful wine is full of fruit flavours, and finishes crisp and clean. The story of Ironstone Vineyards started in the hands of John Kautz, a young row crop farmer from Lodi who saw the future in growing wine grapes in Lodi. With 12 acres in 1948, John quickly built an excellent reputation as a premium wine grape supplier, amassing over 5,000 acres of grapes in Lodi and the Sierra Foothills and eventually becoming one of the top ten wine grape growers in California. In 1988, John, his wife Gail and their children dedicated themselves to the creation of a wine of their own. While still maintaining grape sales to top wineries around the world, they brought award-winning winemaker Steve Millier aboard to launch Kautz wines, which would evolve into Ironstone Vineyards, a wine brand dedicated to the production of exceptional wines of unparalleled quality, outstanding value and everyday approachability. The Symphony grape used in this wine was developed in 1948 at the University of California, Davis by Dr. James Olmo from crossing the Muscat of Alexandria with Grenache Gris. This has produced a delicate Muscat flavour and aroma that characterise the wine, while it shows unusual resistance to oxidation and maintain their light colour, flavour and bouquet. The Ironstone Vineyards Obsession was produced from Symphony grapes sourced from the family’s Murphys and Lodi vineyards. In late September, fully ripened Ironstone Symphony grapes were picked at 22.5% brix, precisely when Symphony grape character is fully developed giving perfect balance to the finished wine, then delivered to the winery for further processing early that day. In order to facilitate pressing and to obtain good juice extraction, the grapes were then crushed using a Diemme tank press. Symphony yields a very high quality juice that is low in phenolics and solids. The juice was cold settled for 48 hours at 40° F, then racked and inoculated with a pure strain of yeast culture that begins fermentation, which lasts three to four weeks. The residual sugar level is retained in the wine by arresting the fermentation rate through chilling. After several rackings, the wine was warmed and stabilised prior to bottling.
