TRAPACHIE BROQUEL
Chardonnay
|
Elegantly created from Argentina , has fresh aromas of acacia and
citrus flowers, honey and a touch of mineral.
|
Salentein, Pinot Noir
|
Very strong red fruit - mainly cherry and strawberry - as well as vanilla
and leather. Not that many tannins and low acidity. Medium body and
finish.
|
Salentein, Malbec
|
This brilliant purple hued wine of great intensity and depth exudes
personality with aromas of ripe plums, blackberries and a soft touch of
vanilla and tobacco typical of aging in French oak barrels. With its
complex mouth-feel, ripe red berry appeal and sweet tannins
characteristic of this variety, the Salentein Malbec 2004 is a
well-structured wine of balanced acidity and a long finish. This wine will
age nicely for seven years.
|
Pirie Pinot Gris 2006
|
Pale gold but with Pinot Gris’ tell-tale slight bronze stain, the nose is a
heady concoction of exotic spices and potpourri. In the mouth, the
wine has good weight and a velvety texture, but is dry and clean on the
finish.
|
Pirie Estelle 2006
|
Estelle Thompson was the real name of the Tasmanian born, almond-
eyed movie star, Merle Oberon. Full of rumour and controversy, her
life story reads like a film script. This exotic and enticingly aromatic
white wine is a fitting tribute to one of Tasmania’s most enduring
characters. Pale lemon/gold, the bouquet shows lavender and citrus
blossom. The palate is softly textured and mouth-filling while still
remaining delicate with fine acidity bringing length but not dominating.
|
Pirie Pinot Noir 2006
|
Vibrantly colourful in the glass, aromas of black cherry and raspberry
develop rapidly over background hints of kirsch chocolate liqueurs.
Gentle tannins and subtle oak provide support for a juicy,
fruits-of-the-forest middle palate with fresh acidity leading to a clean,
dry finish. Age 1-3 years and serve in a big glass to capture the
perfume.

2006
|
|
The Butchers Block Red is a traditional Barossa blend made with
grapes selected from the Turkey Flat vineyards, including some from
the original old vine plantings. The 2006 vintage of Butchers Block
Red is a blend of 56% Shiraz, 27% Grenache and 17% Mourvédre.
The palate has rich sweet lifted fruits with a hint gaminess and creamy
vanillin oak character. The tannin structure is long and restrained with
a velvety finish.
The nose is rich with dark plum and violets and hints of cracked black
pepper, cherry and juniper berry. The palate shows sweet lifted fruits
with a hint gaminess and creamy vanillin oak character.
