Sauvignon Blanc 2022

We source a little fruit from three blocks just North of the Watervale township in the Clare Valley. Two blocks were planted in 1975 in the brown loamy soils on slate. One block runs East-West contouring a dam line on the vineyard and the other block is slightly higher on the property running a NE-SW row orientation. These two blocks have slightly different characteristics which, when blended, give rise to a nice complexity. 2019 was very low yielding, so a third block of a similar ilk slightly to the south of this Slate Creek Vineyard was introduced to the blend this year.Pale straw, with a light green hue. The nose is bright and fragrant, with classic fresh cut lime & lemongrass notes, alongside a subtle hint of wet slate. Palate is floral and refreshing, blossom and zest of lime dominate the palate with secondary notes akin to the pastry case of a lemon tart. This is derived from the lees contact and helps to complex and balance the mid palate. The wine is crisp and dry with a beautiful zing of grapefruit like acidity to its finish.

Cabernet Malbec 2020

Located where the vines stretch to the shore, McLaren Vale is one of the most geologically diverse terrains in the world. The origin of South Australia’s wine industry, it boasts a pristine natural environment and is best known for Shiraz, and more recently, Grenache. Summers here are hot and dry, but the ocean has an air conditioning-like effect on both the maritime, cool-climate wines and the visitors that drink them.Deep ruby red with a lovely youthful violet hue. A fragrant nose of fresh blueberries, a little vanillin, mixed spice, cedar and a floral hint of perfumed violets. Approachable, graceful palate of mulberry and blueberry compote. Up front, juicy flesh of plum with underlying notes of chocolate coated coffee beans, mint, black pepper, and a hint of earthy truffles. A solid backbone of supporting acidity extends these characters towards the finish.
