Rich Dry Whites
Description:
A fine wine with a focus on the fruit this is a light gold coloured 100% Chardonnay. Displaying tropical fruit aromas it is full bodied with a creamy character and length on the finish. Founder and former racing car driver turned wine producer, Alan Heath, purchased from his retiring next door neighbour a 100 year old dairy farm in the premium wine growing region the 'Adelaide Hills' in South Australia. Paying great attention to soil type, climate, row sizes, ripping, water quality, varieties and cloning attracted the immediate attention of Penfolds who contracted the fruit from his premium vineyard for a number of years. The purchase of the Vineyard was the start of a journey that culminated with the formation of Heath Wines in 1998. Alan's days as a grower taught him some valuable lessons. Sourcing of fruit is driven by the 'best sub-region for each varietal' and the 'best vineyard for each sub-region.' As a result of this Alans philosophy is simple 'We are committed to and focus on producing handcrafted wines with fruit driven varietal flavours, structure and balance.' (12 x 75 cl)

Chateau de Gueyze Buzet
Description: The Chateau de Gueyze is one of the jewels in the crown of Buzet, with its uninterrupted 78-ha vineyard. The range of flavours includes a hint of menthol and a touch of fresh eucalyptus. This dense, well-balanced wine is supported by light but supple tannins. 'Gueyze' is like 'Baise', it's a Gasconised Celtic word meaning, roughly, 'little river'. At the edge of the nearby heath, a tiny stream full of trout and shrimps is called 'the Gueyze'. In other words, water! How has a place with a watery name become the flagship 'terroir' for Buzet wines? It's one of the great mysteries of this marvellous soil! (6 x 75 cl) Price: £77.20
