Pizzini Brachetto 2010

pizzini brachetto

The nose that is reminiscent of summer roses with that distinct grapey-ness that we love in Moscato style wines & some delightful ripe strawberry.  It is lush, well balanced & with a low enough alcohol that you do not have to just stop at one!

Date: 22nd May 2011   Price: $17  Value: $$$  [...]

Morris of Rutherglen Classic Liqueur Tokay NV

This Tokay (soon to be labelled Topaque) smells & tastes like almond treacle tart served with smashed toffee & caramel coated raisins. Even just a sip luxuriously sits longingly in your mouth. This is a perfect topping for vanilla ice-cream or to accompany any rich warming pudding – your choice!

Fonseca Late Bottled Vintage Unfiltered Port 2005

fonsecalbv

Sweet, medium bodied without that cloying mouth feel – just the way that Port should be. There is plenty of rich spicy cloves, chocolate & ripe red fruit. The Port is fresh, the tannins are typically grippy & the fruit is ripe, lush & long on the palate. Enjoy this wine with friends [...]

Majella 2006 Sparkling Shiraz

Majella 06 sp sz

A gorgeous plum hued fizz that offers rich liquorice, peppery spice & cassis with some enticing mint chocolate. Its velvety smooth texture is just the thing to share with friends. It would accompany dark chocolate almost as well as bacon & eggs!

Long Flat 2009 Pink Moscato

This is unashamedly medium sweet and lightly frizzante.  With more of a salmon pink colour than a lolly pink, it is a light musky grape & stonefruit delight.  If you are after something that is simply enjoyable, then this is one for you: A good Moscato with the sickly sweets at great value.

Pirramimma Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc 2010

This is a little sweetie just in time for the silly season. Pirramimma from the Mclaren Vale has sourced fruit from Oakbank in the cool Adelaide Hills for this wine. It is not common to see a Late Harvest SB but this one is freshly bottled with floral tropical fruit characters, like a welcome [...]

Frogmore Creek 2007 Iced Riesling

This little sweetie has a nose of poached honeyed pears. It is medium sweet but balanced off by refreshing acid and lingering and rich lemon/ lime zest, honey and mandarin flavours.  Great for dessert or with soft cheese.

Date: 30th October 2009 Price: $26    Value:  $$$ Drink: Now – 5 years

Chalk Hill 2008 Moscato

A lightly frizzante pale gold Moscato with a sweet floral nose. It is a medium sweet wine that is typically low alcohol with flavours of grape, apple and light strawberry. A well made Moscato made to enjoy on a balmy evening, or as a dessert wine perhaps to match a summer pudding.

Peter Lehmann 2008 Princess Moscato

This is some bubbly fun for Summer.  It is as it appears in the glass, grapey and frothy. It smells as it appears too. Made from Frontignan from the Barossa Valley, it is as upfront a medium sweet pronounced fruit and perfumed wine as you should expect from this style of Moscato [...]
