GREAT PINOT NOIR AT A GREAT PRICE! 2005 VOICE OF THE VINE ACAPPELLA PINOT NOIR - $29.95 (WAS $43.95) Voice of the Vine Vineyard is a family-owned specialist pinot producer located on the northern plains of Mornington Peninsula. The Estate currently has 35 acres of premium producing vines, with around 90% of the vineyard planted to five clones of Pinot Noir on a variety of spacings and trellises. The aromas swirl from the glass, fragrant and seductive sour cherry complexed with sappy/foresty/savoury overtones; the palate is multi-dimensional and loaded with style - deep sour cherry with underlying exotic spices and forest flavours. The wine is still in its infancy and positively demands lengthy decanting to reveal its wares. Not for everyone as it walks a little on the wild side, but for those that like exceptionally complex pinot this is AN ABSOLUTE STEAL AT THE HEAVILY DISCOUNTED PRICE. "Tight, structured, pure and imposing. Excellent quality. Hints of earth and forest and undergrowth, but essentially a sour, black cherried wine of power, balance and distinction. Really good wine. Drink: 2009-2014." Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front - 93 points Awards: |

WORLD CLASS PINOT
GRIS
2007 ASTROLABE MARLBOROUGH PINOT GRIS - $25.95 This was the first time I have tasted an Astrolabe pinot gris and I was simply blown away by the exceptional quality of the wine. It is a stunning pinot gris and truly world class. And certainly not a one-off, as my research discovered that it's predecessor, the 2006 Astrolabe Pinot Gris, won the Trophy for Champion Pinot Gris at the 2006 Air New Zealand Wine Awards. The wine has a beautiful nose, lightly floral and deliciously perfumed. Classic Pinot Gris on the palate - spicy and exotic, pristine pear and peach fruit abound, wonderful fresh acidity and a long, lingering finish. This is an elegant pinot gris with great finesse and subtlety; one for the purists. "I was surprised to find that as many as nine of my 45 favourite New Zealand wines from recent tastings were Pinot Gris. Again I liked the Brightwater Pinot Gris 2006 Nelson seemed to have the balance between pure, bumptious fruit and refreshing acidity just right, and Astrolabe Pinot Gris 2007 Marlborough seems similarly sophisticated." Jancis Robinson, MW

OUTSTANDING VALUE
McLAREN VALE SHIRAZ
2006 CHALK HILL McLAREN VALE SHIRAZ - $17.95 Chalk Hill are producing immaculate wines across the board under French winemaker Emmanuelle Requin-Bekkers. Having studied in Marseilles and Montpellier, and having worked in many of France's regions including Bordeaux, Bourgogne, Langue-doc Roussillon and the smaller appellations of Bandol and Sancerre, it is no wonder she has taken this producer's wines to a different level. Wow, what a wonderful wine for under $20! A group of us had this wine over dinner recently - in a masked line-up of pretty handy wines - and it was unanimously voted the wine of the night. An archetypal generous McLaren Vale Shiraz from a great vintage with masses of dense, sweet, potent fruit beautifully interwoven with spice and quality oak on an intense and long palate. Lovely balance, structure and mouthfeel. Succulent, cuddly and soft, a must for lovers of big shiraz. Back-up the truck. Please note that for each bottle of wine sold, Chalk Hill donates 25 cents to Greening Australia for the planting of trees. This is the largest per-bottle donation in the Australian wine industry and translates to a tree planted for every 6 bottles sold.

"MEASURES UP
WITH THE FINEST RIESLINGS I HAVE TASTED"
2007 HELM CLASSIC DRY RIESLING - $27.95 Riesling has been Ken Helm's passion for 30 years and he fully deserves to be recognised as Canberra District's top riesling producer. His 2007 Classic Dry Riesling is an absolute stunner and has already won the Trophy for Best Riesling at the 2007 Cool Climate Wine Show and the Top gold medal in the riesling class at the 2007 Royal Melbourne Wine Show - against 45 of the best Rieslings in Australia! "Made by respected winemaker Ken Helm from free run juice of Canberra district Riesling vines. Brilliant greeny straw in colour. Limes, lemons, more lemons and lime cordial abounds. Juicy and fresh fruit - aromatic, vibrant and impressive in stature and composition. Delicious pure polished fruit oozes down the throat effortlessly. Smooth and a tad creamy on the finish with lively balanced acidity. Seamless drinking indeed. Try this with bbq octupus. Drink to 2020." Paul Ippolito - 95 points [95-97: Superb - A memorable drinking experience] "A ripper - winner of bronze, silver and gold medals in Winewise, Cowra, and Melbourne shows respectively. It has brilliant, green- tinted pale lemon colour and tremendous volume of ripe varietal aroma and flavour - more than you usually see in Riesling this young. But the flavour volume doesn't come at the expense of freshness. This is as crisp and youthful as they come." Chris Shanahan, Canberra Times "Without question, his (Ken's) 2007 classic dry Riesling measures up with the finest Rieslings I have tasted. Its lively and crisp lemon-lime flavours triggers an incredible palate explosion. John Vickery and Geoffrey Grosset, Australia's foremost Riesling specialists, would be among the first to salute Helm's efforts." John Fordham, The Sunday Telegraph "Citrus, herb and spice aromas; tightly focused, but has lovely lime juice flavours with perfectly balanced acidity; very good length. 11.8º alc. Drink Now - 2017." James Halliday - 92 points Awards: |
