This is a beautifully balanced wine with citrus and white peach aromas integrated with lees and French barrel notes. Attractive stonefruit flavours mingle on the palate with subtle oak and zesty acidity.

The Kaiserstuhl district of Germany prizes Pinot Blanc for its spicy
subtle fruit flavours and its ability to truly reflect its terroir.
Escarpment Vineyard is excited to be able to release the seventh
Single Vineyard Pinot Blanc from its Te Muna Road Vineyard. We
believe our site ideally suits Pinot Noir so a classic Pinot Blanc
should result.
A barrel fermented dry style (2.5gms/l sugar) was aged for 11
months prior to bottling. It will certainly create some interesting
wine/food pairings. Enjoy while young but this wine will age
gracefully for at least 5 years.
There are hints of apricot kernels and cantaloupe on the nose and the palate is generous and rounded out by a pleasant acidity.
Krinklewood Semillon 2018. Pale straw in colour, this Semillon displays delicate grassy, summer stone fruit and nostalgic lemon sorbet. It has a fine and delicate, dry palate with an elegantly structured acid backbone & crisp clean finish
Adega Eidos Padrinan Albarino 2016. Founded in 2000 by local growers, Adega Eidos produces Albariño from grapes grown exclusively in and among the gardens of Sanxenxo in the parish of Padriñán, located at the southern extreme of Rías Baixas’ Val do Salnes subdistrict. The ‘Eidos’ (garden arbors) in Sanxenxo – 100 acres of which Adega Eidos owns – are traditionally trained, are almost always ungrafted, and are over 50 years of age.
Since 2003, winemaking has taken place in a winemaking facility of efficient and modern design overlooking Sanxenxo harbos. Selected bunches are brought the short distance in small crates, and are then sorted before the de-stemming, crushing and cold maceration processes. Natural yeasts undergo temperature control to achieve long fermentations and natural clarification, and the wines are left on their fine lees until bottling. Eidos de Padriñán is considered to be the primary wine of the larger estate, as it offers ripe and extracted Albariño fruit with clear mineral notes from the sea breeze and granitic soil.
Fermented in three Georgian amphoras, de-stemmed and whole-berry fermented (that is, with their skins and seeds). “The 2017 Riesling Amphora Alma is based on grapes from the Erste Lage Grillenparz and was fermented on the skins in qvevris for five months. Intense in its golden-yellow color and pure and fresh on the bright shining nose, this is a powerful and dense, well-structured and concentrated Riesling with a silky-elegant texture and charmingly juicy and round fruit.
Tim Smith Riesling 2019. Slightly earlier picking ensures retention of natural acid, and the varietal aromas of lemon and lime prevail, with yeast derived bath salts on the nose. The palate is linear and focused, again, citrus fruits prevailing, with great piercing natural acidity underpinning the palate.
Still very much in its youth, the wine shows pretty floral notes of honeysuckle and beeswax with the crisp green melon and nectarine fruit that we fought so hard to preserve. The oak lends savouriness and spicy cedar to the honey end of the spectrum. Over the tongue, this wine has a waxy viscosity balanced against crisp acidity and held up by a great back bone of minerality (think of smooth wet creek pebbles). All of the afore mentioned aromas continue onto the palate but come off just a little richer and with more body than the nose might suggest.
Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2018 . A vibrant mix of pineapple, mango and citrus flavors on a smooth, medium body, with plenty of vibrant acidity. Appealing details of orange zest and green apple skin add complexity.
Margan White Label Chardonnay 2019 has a lovely balance of complex savoury characteristics from the natural fermentation on full solids giving richness and midpalate weight to this wine. The oak sits softly around the core fruit profile of stonefruits and grapefruit.
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.
Brilliant straw yellow with vibrant green highlights.
Aromatics of pretty spring florals, are followed by peach, nectarine and flinty oak. As the wine opens up, hints of oyster shell, citrus and hazelnut follow.
On the palate the wine has a delicate ‘lightness’ to it, but at the same time soft, creamy and generous mouthfeel. Pear, apple and peach are
supported by balanced well integrated oak.
The wine finishes long with fresh grapefruit, lemon and a spritz of minerality.
Lots of stonefruits here, with peach and nectarine plus some rockmelon too. Plenty of refined French oak and tangy citrus before a finish which is long and dry.
The grapes used to craft this exquisite Watson Family Chardonnay 2018 were picked, chilled and gently pressed. The juice obtained was then fermented in barrel and kept on lees to enhance fruit flavours, complexity and structure. The wine produced through this process features a pale straw colour with dark green tinges. The fragrant nose gives off scintillating aromas of white peach, stone fruit and citrus. Toasty ferment characters combine with crisp acidity on the intense palate, culminating the wine in a long and refreshing finale. This wonderful Chardonnay has been crafted to be relished within a cellaring term of 5 years, drinking best with steamed fish, vegetable terrines and pasta.
Flametree Chardonnay 2018 is another high quality Margaret River Chardonnay offering an excellent combination of fruit flavours and structure associated with southern Margaret River Chardonnays. Dried pear, grapefruit, melon and fig flavours are supported by some subtle, high quality French oak.
