FRANKLAND ESTATE 'NETLEY ROAD' RIESLING 2010, 750ml (Bottle)

A 44-year-old vineyard, the Netley Road vineyard, located a mere 1km from Frankland Estate, was planted in 1966 and was one of the first vineyards in the Great Southern region.
The nose shows hints of talc and soil driven elements, almost shy the wine opens and becomes very expressive on the palate with hits of lemon, fine acids with rich citrus fruits, this fills the mouth with complex spice and fruit notes.
The wine has power and weight through the length of the palate with hints of talc, lime and a very fine thread of acidity that leads to a wine with a polished yet generous finish. An underlying creamy texture gives further generosity to this vibrant, racy wine.

DERWENT ESTATE CHARDONNNAY 2008, 750ml (Bottle)

Very long, lingering finish.
A fragrant & complex bouqet, fruit to the fore, oak in the background.
The palate borders on the electric, so intense is it and its incumbest citrussy acidity, wow.

FRANKLAND ESTATE 'ISOLATION RIDGE' RIESLING 2010, 750ml (Bottle)

It has a purity of flavour and exceptional balance and a natural acidity that carries the wine now and for many years to come.
Leaping out of the glass are intense aromatics of ironstone flintiness, lashings of lime with lifted floral notes.
The Isolation Ridge Riesling is fine and elegant, yet fills the mouth with a concentrated mix of juicy lime and citrus notes followed by a core of spicy ironstone minerality. A generous mouth filling texture but with an underlying tightness showing length, balance and focus giving the wine personality and direction.

CHRISTIAN MOREAU CHABLIS AC 2009, 750ml (Bottle)

From vines averaging 40 years old.
A green fruit and tidal pool nose also evidences a hint of grassiness that can also be found on the fresh, intense and punchy middle weight flavors that display a hint of minerality on the saline and tension suffused finish.
This is excellent and while a bit riper than the 08 version, is still very much Chablis in character
