Notes of marmalade, spice, wax and lanolin intertwine gorgeously on the nose and palate of this penetrating, complex Riesling. Tasting unabashedly sweet and honeyed, this features a note of bitter orange rind and intense tangerine-like acidity, making it mouthwatering and sippable.

Fairbank Field Blend is made up of half Fiano and half Viognier.
Punchy aromatics of mandarin, orange oil and white peach, with fragrant notes of ginger and jasmine spice.
The palate is fleshy with heaps of orange and stone fruit, balanced with a lemon butter generosity in the mid palate. The finish is vibrant and crunchy from the bright natural acidity and chalky phenolics.
Smash it cold with dumplings and spicy foods

Delamere Estate Chardonnay 2019 Opens with pristine citrus, floral and stone fruit notes, this wine evolves with delicate shades of vanilla, almond and crème brûlée. The key to this wine is its ability to balance its taut acidity and judicious use of oak and the savoury lees influence to create a complex and interesting wine that will age gracefully over the next 8-10 years.
A beautifully focused and fragrant wine of fresh primary melon, kiwifruit, nashi pear and green apple notes. Distinct oatmeal nuttiness adds a delicious intricacy, along with indulging buttery nuances.
An exceptionally pure nose, full of varietal complexity. The palate abounds in a fuller volume, rich and textured with a punchy acid drive, offering structural support.

The Saint & Scholar vineyard makes for a beautiful, spectacular backdrop for our makers. North facing and particularly hilly, you’ll see the fluffiest of fluffy clouds float above as the sun sinks across the valley, making you want to stay long after the day is done.
The hilly terrain means in an area of high rainfall, like the Adelaide Hills, water drains rather well. Together with the beautiful sunlight and naturally cool climate, this makes for a perfect, harmonious environment to ripen quality, consistent vines; soon to be quality, consistent wines.
So even if you can’t stand in the Adelaide Hills and see the beautiful harmony, thanks to the Saint & Scholar and their work together, you can pour a glass and taste it.
Kumpf & Meyer Sylvaner 2017 shows a delicious palate with aromas of citrus fruits, lemon curd, white peach and some exotic notes.
THE WINE
The colour is light with a green tinge, the aromatics display apple blossom and lime tones. The palate shows a softly textured, crisp style with subtle mineral undertones and a tight crisp finish. It is anticipated in time this wine will develop a stone-line minerality and poached citrus richness whilst retaining its linear acidity.
VINEYARDS & WINEMAKING
The Great Southern delivered excellent growing conditions, with winter and spring being reasonably dry and summer holding cooler temperatures.
The parcels of free run juice underwent a long and slow cold fermentation in a stainless steel tank immediately after pressing to preserve the fruit character. Gentle lees stirring was carried out to add subtle texture. The wine was bottled in June 2020.
Gautheron Chablis 2016. This is crisp, lively, and fresh. Cyril has managed to keep an impressive amount of acidity. The nose shows lemon rind and salt air; the mouth is smooth and full but with a crisp line of refreshing minerality.
Astrolabe Demi Sec Chenin Blance 2019. Zingy and bright with white free fruits and refreshing minerality, this gorgeous off-dry white reflects Astrolabes devotion to the Chenin vines of the Wrekin vineyard. A wonderful aperitif and match with fish and white meats. This pretty new bottle is even more appealing in the glass!
