This complex wine has a nose of stonefruit, melons, oak and yeasty "malo" notes. It is rich and full bodied with a creamy mouthfilling texture. The wine is a typical of what can be described as a "big wine".

Trinity Hill Chardonnay 2009
NZD $15.00
The 2008 harvest has produced a round, soft wine with overtones of Grapefruit and Pineapple. The small proportion of oak aging on yeast lees has added some complex, mealy biscuity characters to the wine, but it still shows the fresh fruit of Chardonnay.

Forrest Estate Marlborough Chardonnay 2005
NZD $19.50
1010502
Fresh, vibrant fruit flavours, subtle oak and focused acidity. Pretty nectarine and white peach flavours with a hint of apple blossom reflecting the floral character of the 2005 vintage, and that lovely biscuity aroma and creamy texture derived from aging on the yeast lees.

Trinity Hill Arneis 2008
NZD $15.00
Arneis (pronounced: are-NAYS) is an ancient white grape variety originating near Alba in the Piemonte region of north-west Italy.
After gentle whole-bunch pressing of the grapes, the juice was fermented in stainless steel and older barrels. Following a short maturation on yeast lees, the wine shows delicate aromas of pears with a hint of almond and a soft, round palate with good acidity.

Penfolds Bluestone Grand Tawny Port
NZD $37.50
The Penfolds Tawnies are made in Solera Systems (stacked blending systems) at Penfolds’ Kalimna Tawny Cellars. These wines are all aged in 300-litre hogsheads (oak barrels) that are at least twenty years old when they reach the Tawny Cellars, having been used for other Penfolds wines up until that point.
The maturation process deliberately takes place under corrugated iron. At the height of summer the temperature on the top stack can reach 55 degrees; while in winter, the temperature can fall below 8 degrees. These cyclic swings in temperature are vital to the maturation process, as evaporation, concentration and controlled oxidation are all a part of the complex nature of the aromas and flavours.
The combination of extended barrel maturation and the Penfolds tradition of excellence ensure Bluestone Rare Tawny has exceptional fruit richness, mellow aged complexity and great length of flavour.

Siefried Gewurztraminer 2008
NZD $23.00
The Brightwater Vineyard vines are grown in an extremely stony area of the vineyard, where water and nutrient levels are low. This helps us to restrict the plants vigour and to crop at low levels. To further enhance the aromatics, leaves were removed to allow light penetration and air movement around the fruiting zone. Gewürztraminer is an early ripening variety with an aromatic, fragrant bouquet. It is naturally a low yielding vine which can produce wonderful concentration and flavour. After harvest the grapes were de-stemmed and left for a period of skin contact before pressing. The clear juice was inoculated with a pure yeast strain and then a cool, temperature-controlled fermentation began. The fermentation was stopped prematurely to allow 10g/L residual sweetness in the wine.

William Thomas Chardonnay 2005
NZD $26.00
This wine displays citrus and mineral notes with a subtle underlying wood influence. Extended barrel maturation means that this wine has a lovely rich texture, though still elegant and understated on the palate.
Made exclusively from the Mendoza clone, fruit for this wine was sourced from two separate vineyard sites in the Brancott Valley.
Hand harvested and pressed into old French barrels, juice for this wine was fermented using wild yeast and then aged in barrel for a further 16 months, of which 10% is in new barrels.
