 McLaren Vale 'Goose Juice' Rosé 2006 - $9.00
“summer berries and watermelon”
Apparently there’s a goose in the vineyard where this is grown and she’s partial to grapes. We’re certainly partial to this pink wine that is brimming with flavours of strawberry, cherries, raspberries and watermelon juice. With just a smidgen of sweetness, beautifully tangy acidity and only 12% alcohol it’s almost dangerously easy to drink. So don’t get too loose, on the goose!

Yarra Valley 'Autumn Leaves' Pinot Noir 2002 - $15.30
“delicate, cherry, earth, spice”
Five years after vintage and 3 & ½ years after bottling this is presenting a delightful potpourri of ripe strawberry and black cherry primary fruit while the age shows with a whiff of earthy autumn leaf and some cinnamon tinged spice. While light in weight the time in barrel and bottle has concentrated the fruit, making it “stick” to your palate with real persistence of flavour. It’d match well with a takeaway Chinese roast duck or seared fillet of ocean trout. It’s also one to sip and savour and to enjoy a lovely vinous moment, realising that Australian winemakers can do delicate and subtle as well as big and brawny.

King Valley Sangiovese Rosé 2005 - $9.90
“savoury herbs and cherries” A serious, bone dry Rosé, with a coppery hue and lovely aromas of cherries and hand rubbed dried herbs. The palate is crisp and clean with flavours of cherry and rosehip tea. It’s quite sophisticated really, and wonderful with food. Try it with grilled fish or good barbequed Italian sausages. | |
King Valley Gamay 2004 - $10.80
“stalky cherries”
Gamay is the variety used in the lightweight French wines of Beaujolais. It offers the “pear drop” aromas typical of Beaujolais along with bright cherry fruit smells and some smoky and stalky notes. There’s tangy little cherry fruit flavours, a stalky twist (it was fermented with whole bunches) and some dusty little tannins. It can take a light chill and would be lovely with charcuterie or pasta dishes.

Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir 2004 - $13.50
“smoky cherries” Real pinot aromatics with lifted, smoky edged dark cherry fruit. The palate reflects the nose with a touch of spice, tart cherry fruit and some toasty oak notes. There’s some tannin as well making it quite dry to finish – and very food friendly. | |
