Wine List

White Wine

Henschke Julius Riesling 2007, Eden Valley, South Australia
As a tribute to Julius Henschke, this 2007 riesling is pale green/gold in colour with uplifting sweet fragrant floras, zesty lemons and limes, whit currants and soft mineral notes on the nose. The palate is crisp with rich, intense citrus flavours, well balanced acidity and length to this amazing wine. Drinking very well now it is the ideal accompaniment to Asain style chicken dishes.

Delatite Pinot Gris 2006, Delatite, Victoria
Not quite as aromatic as its riesling cousin, perhaps somewhat held back by the touch of oak fermentation. Pears, lime and some grapefruit with a hint of spice comes across the nose however the palate broadens out with granny smith apples and honey hints. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity.

Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc 2007, Marlborough, New Zealand
Aromas of ripe tropical fruits, gooseberry and passion fruit flower welcome you into this delicious wine. The palate is long and zesty with strong citrus and lychee. The end is a little sharp, but it works well with this wine.

Yering Station, Chardonnay 2005, Yarra Valley, Victoria
Fermented on French Oak, 25% new. A lovely pale straw colour reflects invitingly in the glass making suggestion that this is truly a wonderful wine. The nose is quite complex with whimsical notes of mineral giving way to citrus and almond with a gentle spice. The palate is clean and fresh with well integrated oak characteristics. Like the nose the palate is quite minerally and has great poise with no malolactic fermentation. Wonderful on its own or with schnitzel and cheese.

Dominique Portet, Fontaine, Rose 2006, Yarra Valley, Victoria
The son of Andre Portet, regisseur (vineyard and winery manager) of Chateau Lafitte-Rothschild in Pauillac. Dominique brings his years of experience into this lively young wine. The colour is subtle rose-gold, inviting and luscious. Made from Cabernet, Merlot and Shiraz grapes this wine has ripe berry flavours with slight cherry undertones. This wine is immaculate as an aperitif or spectacular with a Mediterranean tapas plate.

Champagne

By Moet and Chandon
Moet and Chandon Brut Imperial, an elegant harmonious wine with a clean smooth fruit driven bouquet. With a hint of cashew nut and smooth nectarine flavours, it is delicate and well balanced.

Veuve Cliquot Ponsardin, a well loved wine for its crisp full flavours. Its complex nose of apple, citrus and caramel is followed by full flavours of pure elegance, crispness and a slightly spicy finish.

Red Wine

Giant Steps, Pinot Noir 2005, Yarra Valley, Victoria
Another of those “Gems” from Sexton in Victoria’s Yarra Valley. Lovely cherry colour with good legs, the nose has a warm spiced edge to it. A well structured palate with spiced cherries and red juicy berries. A moment of air allows this wine to be truly enjoyed.

Torbreck, The Steading 2005, Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz, Marananga, South Australia
Classic in their own right, however blended together these three create a complex wine of solid earthy structure. Deep ruby with flickers of violet, its delicate aromas of truffle, five spice and spring flowers are supported by a rich core of framboise, licorice, saddle leather and Provencal herbs. Very “Burgundian” in style, the palate is elegant and pure with notes of crushed cherries, earth and cedar all neatly wound by a taught spine of acidity and ripe supple tannins.

Bannockburn, Cabernet Sauvigno Merlot 2000, Geelong, Victoria
Deep inky crimson in colour. Appealing aromas of cranberries, plums, fragrant tobacco and aniseed. The palate displays rich fruit cake and ceder characteristics with a long smooth texture and fine grained tannins to finish.

Yering Station, Cabernet Sauvingnon 2004, Yarra Valley, Victoria
This Yarra Valley cabernet sauvignon is an elegant wine with rich aromas of chocolate, cassis and cherry. The palate is wonderfully full with heady velvety tannins and a long morish finish that will leave you asking for more. This wine is drinking well now and is idea with duck and pasta.

Dessert

De Bortoli, Noble One 2004, Riverina, New South Wales
The creation of this Sauternes style wine by Darren de Bortoli in 1982 has been regarded as Australia’s benchmark dessert wine. The botrytis flavours of this wine combine peach, nectarine citrus and almond characters to create a luscious well balanced wine to be enjoyed with dessert or a fine blue cheese.
