Full, bright blush colour with some depth. This has a full and softly fresh nose of yellow stonefruit and berry fruit aromas along with nuances of red florals, musk, talc and spices. Slightly sweet to taste, bright, juicy and lush flavours of stonefruits, red berries and musk are intermixed with minerally elements. This is light-weighted and slender in presentation, the lower acidity contributing to a soft, matty texture and mouthfeel. The palate has a long finish with sweet notes of honey and pale red fruits. This is a light, attractively musky, slightly sweet Pinot Gris to match with Asian cuisine over the next 3+ years. Fruit from the Gibbston Valley, fermented partially in new oak to 13.6% alc. and 11.8 g/L rs, 16.5+/20 Jun 2012 RRP $26.95

Fruit from 30 y.o. vines from the Black Ridge vineyard, Alexandra, fermented to 14.0% alc. and 13.7 g/L rs. Brilliant, light straw-yellow colour with some lemon hues. Beautifully full, soft and ethereal aromas of rose-petal florals, talc and musk unfold in layers to become voluminous and intense. Medium-dryish to taste, subtle flavours of florals, honey, spices and musk build in intensity, but retain delicacy and vitality with lovely lacy acidity. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky, near unctuously smooth, but there is excellent tension and freshness, revealing a deep core at the heart. The flavours are lingering and sustained with intricate nuances and subtle richness. This is a beautifully smooth and detailed Gewurztraminer with underlying richness and weight. Match with Middle Eastern dishes over the next 3-4+ years. 18.5/20 Jun 2012 RRP $28.95

Dark, deep, full ruby-red colour with a little garnet on rim. The nose is lifted with raspberry fruit and confectionary notes, along with penetrating aromas of red cherry fruits, undergrowth elements and dark herbs. Medium-full bodied, this has dark berry fruits along with plum, liquorice and spices, lifted, with fresh juiciness. The acidity is balanced, contributing to the richness, and the palate is supported by fine, but firm tannin grip underlining the fruit. The wine has a moderately long and lingering finish with spicy fruit flavours. This is a well-balanced and well-proportioned Pinot Noir with spicy characters. Match with lamb, veal and pork over the next 4-6 years. Fruit from the ‘Schist Hills' vineyard in Alexandra, fermented to 13.5% alc., the wine aged 10 months in French oak barrels. 17.5-/20 Jun 2012 RRP $33.50
