This is a riper style leaving you to enjoy the full intensity of the candied pineapple with hints of spice & lychee. Refreshing with a long silky length. A gorgeously mouth filling wine with plenty of food friendly qualities. Date: 18th May 2011 Price: $29 Value: $$ Drink: [...] 
Dry, sweetly perfumed with spicy rose & tropical lychee that are typical for wines made from this big-hearted grape. Matching the richness on the nose, the plush fruit bursts onto the palate immediately making you slow down to literally ‘smell the roses’. Date: 4th July 2011 Price: $20 Value: $$$ Drink: Now For the [...] There is plenty of soft citrus freshness almost dipping to stonefruit ripeness complimented with just a hint of caramel nuttiness. A silky & supple modern Chardonnay that will pair nicely with a grilled chicken salad. Date: June 2011 Price: $28 Value: $$ Drink: Now – 5 years Note: for a more detailed review, please [...] This Pinot is typical cherry & spice with some earthy savouriness.
