TASTING NOTES - WHITES
 
2004 Chardonnay 13.2% Alc/Vol
Pale gold with a tinge of green. White peach bouquet with flavours of peach and honey dew melon, combined with soft butter and citrus. Fermented in French oak, good drinking now and will improve in the bottle over the next 5 years. Bottled in the screw cap to ensure sound drinking.
 
 
2000 Macedon 12.0% Alc/Vol
Left in the bottle for a minimum of 4 years, developing the delicate flavours and fine bead. The wine is then disgorged and topped up with a little of the previous years wine liquer. The resulting sparkling Macedon is pale straw in colour, pouring with a soft, creamy mousse and just a touch of yeast. An aperetif style, very dry and delicate.
 
2004 Pinot Noir/Chardonnay Sparkling 12.5% Alc/Vol
Pale straw colour, with a fresh strawberry bouquet. Pouring with a fine bead, the Chardonnay is dominant on the initial and final palates, with the Pinot Noir filling out the middle.
A dry, aperetif style sparkling, with delicate pear and strawberry flavours.
 
 
MW Sparkling N.V. 13.0% Alc/Vol
Pale straw colour, with a touch of pink. A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with strawberry and citrus flavours. This very reasonably priced bubbly is bottle fermented, with a minimum of 12 months on lees and comes packaged in a crown seal bottle.

  2003 Pinot Noir 13.0% Alc/Vol
  Following fermentation in open vats, the Pinot is pressed out into French barriques, remaining for the next 18 months. Deep red in colour, with the perfume of sweet Pinot Noir fruit. Plum and cassis, with a touch of earthiness on the palate. This wine should mature well over the next 5 years and being bottled under the screw cap, will ensure sound drinking.
   
  2000 Cabernets 12.8% Alc/Vol
  Bright cherry red in colour with a raspberry bouquet. This wine is a blend of 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, possessing soft tannins and a spiciness that lends it to being well suited with pasta and Italian style dishes. Bottle aging will see this wine soften and develop more of the cedar aromas of these Cabernet blends.
   
  Louise Clare VI 13.0% Alc/Vol
  Comprised of aged Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. This sixth release has been dosaged with a small amount of Rutherglen port, lending a slight richness and softness to the middle palate. The emphasis of the Louise Clare is on complexity of flavour and the quality of the aged base wines blended together and having spent two years on yeast lees, results in a beautifully balanced sparkling red.
