2008 Riesling

 Generous tropical flavours with the delicate character of lemon blossom that so typify this wonderful variety. Ready to drink now, but will also age beautifully for twenty years and more.  This wine will partner well with strong fish dishes and Middle Eastern style food.  $20

“Rated 90/100” – James Halliday, 2010 edition of 'Australian Wine Companion'.
“Perfumed lift to the nose - smells of pears and apples. Bright, tight and fruity in the mouth .”
'Winestate Magazine', March/April 2009 edition.

2007 Chardonnay

A complex wine with texture, mouthfeel & a certain minerality. Techniques such as slow fermentation & ageing on yeast lees, create complexity while retaining the overall impact of the fruit flavour. The wine can be drunk by itself or as an aperitif. It will also go particularly well with heavier, cheesier dishes & is a good white wine option for meals traditionally matched with red wine. $26

“Rated 91” – James Halliday’s Wine Companion 2009 Edition
“Michael Unwin’s Acrobat range offers all-round good value, the chardonnay in particular. This is such a pretty wine: clean citrus fruit dominating, with lively acidity.”
Jeni Port, “The Age”, 13 October 2007.

2005 Barbera

The beautiful garnet red of this Barbera introduces the drinker to a vibrant and complex wine.  It is a medium weight wine with good, dark colour and bursting with flavour.  Combining savoury characters reminiscent of freshly cut hay with red cherries and plums, makes this wine a true partner to a wide range of food.  This well known Italian variety is rare in Australia and we make it to reflect its true varietal characters.   $26

2005 Durif

A rich, intensely coloured Durif.  The bouquet unfolds with blackberry and mulberry characters, pepper, aniseed and tobacco. The intensity typical of this variety has been balanced by careful winemaking to incorporate mouth filling and rounded tannins, creating a great wine to match any full flavoured food, including Asian dishes.  $26

2004 Shiraz

Intense, deep red colour. The nose is immediately reminiscent of raspberries and blackberries with cherries, rose-like floral and aniseed tones. The palate is dominated by the attractive character of the tannins, which are very long, smooth and textural. The winemaking emphasis on palate and textural structure makes this wine an exceptional partner to food. Highly flavoured, cheese based and any meat dishes.  $26

2006 Cabernet Sauvignon

SOLD OUT

A deep, crimson colour. The nose is tamarillo, cassis (blackcurrant), fresh tobacco, fruit tea and cinnamon. On the palate, it has soft and smooth tannins. A nice red to drink by itself but also a very good partner to food such as spicy Asian or Middle Eastern food.  $26
