An Ape is Loose Heathcote Greco 2016

Totes delicious!

Now with a little timein the bottle, Andrews take on Greco has settled beautifully and is drinking a treat. Hints of exotic fruit, great freshness though and fine, briny-like finish. Summer drinking.

Bress Silver Chook Heathcote/Bendigo Shiraz 2016

A formidable blend from two great regions. Heathcote confers structure and length whilst Bendigo gives plushness and generosity. Blended together we have a robust and powerful yet focused wine. Immensely drinkable now but cellaring for half a decade will also benefit this beauty.

Try serving up with a slow roasted marinated lamb shoulder, or if you're pressed for time, chuck some lamb on the bbq.

Chalmers Vermentino 2018

Ripe lemon, sweet fresh herbs, a musky perfume, sea spray. Soft and chalky, with a pleasing pithy bite, clean and cool feeling, dusty and lightly spiced to close, with good persistence. Feels good. Tastes good. Can be served cold, though I prefer the texture as it warms in the glass.

Cosmo Heathcote Basket Press Shiraz 2016

Made exclusively for Rathdowne Cellars by Pondalowie wine-maker Dom Morris, this wine offers great value and flavour. The 2015 is a blend of the Galli and Whistling Eagle vineyards in Heathcote, and as in past vintages, is basket pressed to retain the fruit richness & texture. It delivers the richness expected of Heathcote, while maintaining a lovely savoury edge underneath.

Drink now or keep for 3-5 years.

Jasper Hill Emilys Paddock Shiraz Cabernet Franc 2017

"Like the Georgia’s Paddock Shiraz, a little more forward and elegant than recent vintages - if you are familiar with Emily’s Paddock, this is unmistakably Emily’s Paddock! That highly spiced and perfumed nose with some mint, full fruity palate, harmonious grape and new French oak tannins with extreme length. Again, great longevity. 15.5% alc/vol" Emily Laughton, Winemaker.

Jasper Hill Georgia's Paddock Shiraz 2017

"A fabulous, typical example from this single vineyard that from it’s pristine crimson colour and leading, full aroma, exhibits the characteristic flavours of dark berries, ripe red fruits and complex exotic spices that lead into a supple tannic palate beautifully balanced with abundant natural acid. Maybe a little more forward than the 2015 and 2016, it will still cellar for a long time if you wish. 15.0% alc/vol" - Emily Laughton, Winemaker.

Journey Wines Fiano 2017

Very pale straw colour with green tints. The nose displays intense aromas of green apple, pear and grapefruit. The palate is crisp, dry and refreshing, with a lovely textural component to the very long finish.
