Tasting Note
Deep red in colour with warm hues, this wine exhibits a ripe nose with aromas of cherries and currants, with a touch of eucalypt and subtle background oak. A soft medium bodied palate, with some firm cabernet tannins and merlot flesh in the middle, and a lingering finish with persistent fruit, this wine will improve for up to three years.

Tasting Note
The nose on this wine is vibrant and focused, showing varietal fruit characters of blackcurrant, with overtones of cocoa and spice. The palate is rich but stylish, being of medium to full body with the ripe elegantly structured tannins providing a fine balance between the varietal fruit characters and the subtle integration of French oak. The result is a long palate with good depth of flavour leading into a fresh dry finish.

Medium deep red in colour with purple tints, a spicy pepper bouquet complemented by hints of vanillin oak. The palate is of mid weight and shows rich and spicy fruit and soft round tannins, fresh acidity, which carries on to a long dry finish.

Tasting Note
This wine has the classic sauvignon aromas of cut grass and tropical fruits. The palate unfolds with flavours of passionfruit, gooseberry and subtle herbaceousness. The wine is mouthfilling with good texture and finishes well with cleansing acidity and great length. Ideally suited to asparagus, oysters and summer salads.

Tasting Note
Citrus and vanillin aromas are closely supported on the palate with lime and honeydew fruit on the front and nutty cashew like characters on the finish. The use of small parcels of premium chardonnay fruit from the Adelaide Hills has enabled us to produce a wine of great style and balance. Made to complement food superbly, a glass or two on its own will more than satisfy. We are confident this wine will cellar well until 2012.

Tasting Note
The 2007 Chimney Brush chenin blanc is light straw in colour with brilliant clarity. The nose produces fresh fruit salad aromas comprising of red apples, young honeydew melon and tropical Asian fruits. Red apple, watermelon and young pear flavours can be tasted on the palate with sweetness balanced by the soft acidity which leaves a clean refreshing finish.
