NV Sparkling Chardonnay
A blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40 % Pinot Noir from Campania (Coal Valley, Southern TAS) and Relbia (Northern TAS). Aroma’s of toasty brioche and delicate citrus subtly emerge from the fine beads. Full and crisp flavours of apples and strawberries linger on a refined acid structure.
 
2007 Sauvignon Blanc
Practically a year in bottle, the wine is nonetheless fresh and vibrant with zippy acidity, very good length and a herby citrussy flavour. Mark Smith’s Autumn Selections, Issue 48, March 2008

2005 Chardonnay
Beautifully aromatic, the palate intense, fruity and full-flavoured with crisp citrussy acid providing elegance, great balance, length and freshness. Lovely drinking, top value and an excellent food wine. Fruit of the Vine, Graeme Phillips, Sunday TAS, 22.04.07 93 points James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2007
