Tasting Notes
Pinot Grigio 2006
Pinot Grigio is our most popular white wine. We have the largest planting of this variety in the Hunter and we sell out every year. This wine has lovely aromas of tangerines, apples and pears that makes it such an appealing variety. It combines beautifully with most dishes, and is perfect with seafood, cheese dishes and lighter Asian plates.
The Cabernets 2005
As the name suggests this wine is predominantly a blend of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon that is enhanced by the addition of another blend - Merlot and Petit Verdot. This quartet of wines makes The Cabernets for 2005 a very interesting and complex wine. It shows a wonderfully smooth and beautifully balanced structure. Inspired by the use of four of the top five Bordeaux varieties, it is drinking beautifully now, but with proper cellaring this wine should continue to mature gracefully for at least seven years. This wine won the top gold/trophy in the Open Vintage Reds category of the 2006 Hunter Boutique Winemakers Show.
Thomas Charles Reserve Shiraz 2005
The Hunter Valley is renowned for its Shiraz styles, and for lovers of a good Hunter Shiraz this is an excellent example. While still relatively young, it is already exhibiting wonderful spicy berry flavours. The 2005 season yielded outstanding fruit and the Thomas Charles was made from selected hand-picked estate grapes. After fermentation it was matured in French and American oak barrels for 23 months before bottling. The result is a beautifully structured wine with a palate that offers great flavour intensity, balance and length. Properly cellared it will continue to develop over the next 10 years.
