 Hunter Valley “Skinny” Semillon 2007 - $9.90
“herbish, lemony, low alcohol delight”
Hunter Semillon is famous for delivering flavour without excessive alcohol, and therefore excessive calories. So here is a spankingly fresh white that is not only delicious but low in kilojoules to boot. Made in the trad Hunter, early picked style, it is absolutely brimming with fresh herby characters and the lemony tang that’s a perfect marriage with grilled seafood. It’s a scrumptious drink now, will only improve with time in the cellar and you can have an extra helping without the guilt or headache. Why wait?

 Mount Barker 'Marri Mountain' Riesling 2004 - $9.90
“pithy lime goodness”
Mount Barker is located in the Great Southern region
along the south coast of Western Australia. The region is distinguished by its gravelly soils called "marri" that have good drainage qualities and low fertility. Low humidity and long, sunshine filled days are ideally suited to producing delicate, intense white wines.
This vibrant, youthful little Riesling combines the intense character of fresh lime zest with juicier, almost passionfruit like tangyness before a long, minerallly, pithy dry finish. It is elegant, fragrant, fresh, full of flavour and beautiful with a big bowl of Balmain bugs. | |
Geographe (W.A) 'The Squeeze' Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2006 - $9.90
“delicate, dry, passionfruit and citrus”
This wine was produced in the Geographe region, just to the north of Margaret River. It’s light, almost water white in colour and wonderfully perfumed with scents of passionfruit and jasmine. The palate is clean, crisp and bone dry, with a squeeze of tangy passionfruit and twist of fresh lime freshening up the finish. Sensational with seafood, salads and your favourite squeeze. | |
Margaret River Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2006 - $9.90
“tropical fruits, cut grass and citrus”
A typically vibrantly fruity Margaret River style with tropical guava, passionfruit, cut grass and citrus flavours before a flinty dry finish. Great with seafood and the ideal sit back and relax wine.
| |
Clare Valley Riesling 2005 - $9.90
“lime zest” A typically citrussy Clare style with aromas of lime zest and talc. The palate is fresh and lively with some generous mid palate juiciness and a lip smackingly tangy finish. It’s like an extra squeeze of lemon with your favourite seafood, hot off the grill. | |
Hunter Valley 'Orchard Hill' Verdelho 2006 - $9.90
“pineapple and lime”
It’s a veritable orchard in a bottle here, showing all the attributes of this most generous variety. Aromas of pineapple, peach, citrus and apple lead to a palate chock full of summer fruit flavours – think a bowl of chilled fruit salad with a squeeze of fresh lime juice to make it all tangy and mouth watering. It’s a sensational match with your best fresh seafood and while it’ll age, is probably at its best out of the ice bucket right now.

 Hunter Valley Semillon 2001 - $9.00
A very classy Hunter Semillon, very much in the traditional style, and just showing the initial signs of bottle development – with lightly toasted aromatics and lemon butter richness that builds in the mouth. Delicate yet full of flavour and drinking brilliantly right now.
"A standout from the current catalogue is the Hunter Valley Semillon
2001 which is lithe, lemony and amazingly youthful given its age. At
$9 a bottle it's an absolute steal."
Greg Duncan Powell, SMH 20/3/2007
"
A great example of Hunter Valley Semillon filling out nicely as it hits middle age. Loaded up with textbook Sunlight soap and straw characters, this wine still has enough lively acid to make it that rarest of commodities - a cleanskin you could cellar for another year or two."
Nick Ryan, Gourmet Wine Traveller Magazine, APRIL/MAY 2006 | |
Victorian 'Pebble Creek' Pinot Grigio 2006 - $11.70
“pear and creamed honey”
This is a distinctive example of the variety, positioned a little in between the Italian style of crisp grigio and the fuller, softer “gris” approach. There are flavours of straw and soft green pear and while the palate is pretty soft and generous it finishes up nice and dry with a streak of river pebble like minerality. A delicious unwooded alternative for those a bit tired of Sauvignon, but not quite ready to come back to Chardonnay.

Pemberton (WA) "Winter Sun" Sauvignon Blanc 2005 - $10.80
“squeezed lime and passionfruit” This lovely crisp, cool climate white from the Southern tip of Western Australia has classic Sauv Blanc aromas of cut passionfruit, gooseberry and fresh lime. The palate is spotlessly clean with citrus tinged tropical fruit flavours finishing up tangy and bone dry. It’ll bring sunshine to any winter’s day. | |
Geelong 'The Long Lunch' Riesling 2005 - $10.80
“musk stick aromatics and juicy lime palate” This is a follow up to the popular 2004 and in a similar style – full of spicy, musky aromatics and a palate that’s all juicy limes and apples with a long, tangy finish. We reckon it’s terrific with grilled white fish over a leisurely long lunch. | |
Mount Benson 'Cray Coast' Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2006 - $8.10
“green beans and guava”
The Mount Benson wine region is located near Robe on the South Australian coast, an area famous for cray fishing.
The cool maritime climate is well suited to this aromatic style with the tropical tinged guava flavours of Sauvignon Blanc balanced by a green bean crispness from the Semillon.
A great quaffer, even better with salt and pepper squid.

Margaret River Chardonnay 2005 - $12.60
“tangy nectarine fruit” A fruit driven style of Margaret River Chardonnay that offers pristine nectarine, peach skin, apple and green melon flavours. Some oak maturation adds a subtle, cinnamon like spice element and it finishes crisp and clean with admirable length. Drop the anchor on your yacht and twist the top off a couple of bottles. | |
