2019 Sangiovese

Pronounced San jo vay zay;a famous Italian wine grape.

Tasting Notes

New in to our cellar door is our 2019 Sangiovese, made from grapes grown on our property. Aged in old oak barrels this wine is typical of the rustic-styled Sangiovese. It has the earthiness of berries, dark chocolate and plums. Infused with just a nice touch of Cabernet producing a wine that reflects the Hunter Valley terroir. Chill in the fridge in Summer for a further depth of flavour.   

2017 La Belle Helene Sémillon

...Sémillon: a French word pronouncd Sem-ee-yon

Tasting Notes

A crisp and pale straw-coloured wine with herbal notes. Fresh lemon and lime persist throughout balanced by an underlying steely acidity. This wine is true to the style of a classic Hunter Valley Sémillon demonstrating good length and structure. It has the citrus freshness of youth, but is developing those delicious notes of oak that typify an ageing Sémillon. But note this wine has not been oaked. 

If you are eating a food that you would squeeze a lemon over, pair the food with this very classy Sémillon. 

2018 Chardonnay

Our estate-grown Chardonnay is made with just enough oak to enhance the fruit bouquet. The oak also increases the stability of the structure of the wine offering great potential for ageing longer in the bottle. The savouriness of this wine pairs well with fish, pork, chicken and so much more. I know because this wine type is my favourite.
