	Vermentino 2008 (14% Alc/Vol) BRONZE MEDAL Australian Alternative Varieties Wine Show With a history dating back to the 14th century, Vermentino had its Italian origins along the Ligurian coast, and then into the coastal provinces of Tuscany. It is thought to have originally come from Spain via Corsica. These days it receives great prominence and distinction on the island of Sardinia. Being a warm climate wine, the grapes for this wine came from near Euston in Southern NSW on the Murray. The grapes were vinified in stainless steel to capture it unique floral fragrance, while 10% was barrel fermented to add complexity. With a crisp acidity, it has a generous fruity flavour yet is satisfyingly dry. It should be enjoyed as a young wine with seafood, lighter meats or cheese. This is our third vintage and we are delighted with the Bronze Medal from the Alternative Varieties Wine Show where it was judge amongst it’s piers.
	2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (14% Alc/Vol) SILVER MEDAL NSW Small Winemakers Wine Show This version of the famed wine of Bordeaux was made from grapes sourced from the Westcourt vineyard in Mudgee. It was closed tank fermented before undergoing secondary fermentation in French and American oak hogsheads. It has developed pleasant aromas of red currant and cedar spice. With a pleasant plummy flavour and soft tannins this wine will mature further in the bottle. Roast lamb comes to mind as a food match.
	2007 Rosato (13.5% Alc/Vol) This intriguing wine was produced from partial maceration of the 2007 Sangiovese grapes in a process known in Italy as salasso. It was fermented and stabilised in stainless steel and filtered once before an early bottling to retain its fruity freshness and vibrancy. Ideal drinking is chilled along side a one of your favourite curries.
	Moscato 2008 (7.3% Alc/Vol) BRONZE MEDAL NSW Small Winemakers Wine Show Now widely planted in Italy in various forms, this wine was vinified from Moscato Giallo (Yellow Moscato). The fermentation, in stainless steel, was stopped midway through by chilling, to create a relatively low alcohol wine with retained sugars. This results in an aromatic, floral, fruity wine which is pleasantly sweet. It is best enjoyed when young and fresh, served chilled with desserts, or simply as an aperitivo.
	Sangiovese 2007 (14% ALC/VOL) This wine has pleasant aromas of fruit and herbs with floral overtones. After nine months in French oak it has retained the fragrance typical of this variety. It is a medium bodied wine, which presents a delightful alternative to the usually tannic Australian reds. The result is an easy drinking, uncomplicated wine providing an ideal companion for most Mediterranean dishes, antipasto or pasta. It may be enjoyed now, although it will further develop in the cellar.
	Barbera 2007 (13.6% ALC/VOL) This medium-bodied wine reflects the grapes varietal characteristics with earthy, sour cherry aromas and a touch of spice. It has a clean and fresh flavour with berry and fruit softened by maturing in French oak. The sound tannins and firm acid are balanced to make this wine perfect with Mediterranean meat dishes, pastas or cheese. It may be enjoyed now, although it will further develop in the cellar.
