Ambriel's Gift 1999 Aged Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon- $27

Ambriel is the angel of communication

The vineyard's crop has always been very low -averaging less than two tonnes. From this small crop we get intense flavoured grapes, because the vine is working to put the flavour in a smaller number of bunches.

"Peter Douglas made some outstanding Coonawarra Rieslings when he was with Wynns and he’s hit another home run here with a lively, zesty wine that shows immense cellaring potential. There’s oodles of flavour on the palate with nashi pears and tropical fruits to the fore, but the wine finishes nice and dry with very little residual sugar. Take a bottle along to your local Thai or Vietnamese." - Winsor Dobbin,


Sofiel's Gift Coonawarra Riesling 2005 (4 Gold Medals!)

WINEMAKERS COMMENTS: 
Early harvest, minimal skin contact, the use of free run juice only and a hint of sweetness by stopping the ferment with 6.0 grams of sugar remaining have all given a finely structured, soft dry perfumed wine.
The natural crispness will see this wine cellar extremely well, developing toasty characters and creaminess  in the structure adding to its complexity over the next 3 – 5 years.

FOOD: It is now a great aperitif or a perfect match for seafood (especially shellfish) and Asian salads.

NEW RELEASE
Angel's Peak Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
Better than the previous vintage, 2004 was as good as it gets in Coonawarra. Big flavours, with soft, juicy sweetness without any residual sugar. Big colour, yet silky tannins, so will age very well too.

The 2003 sold out in 3 months, so be quick.

Koonara Silver Label Coonawarra Shiraz (RRP $19.95)

The shiraz equivalent to the Cupra’s Gift –

This wine was deliberately kept separate from the Ezra’s Gift label. Its has the faintest hint of Viognier, which we worked out to be around 0.02%. Yet this small amount is still enough to give the wine a slight perfumed nose without adding the white pepper to the palate. Fresh and vibrant this wine has had 2 years in mostly 2nd & 3rd year oak. The extremely prominent fruit makes it an beautifully  balanced wine especially when aged.

Tasting Notes
: Powerful pink grapefruit zest & tomato leaf on the nose.

Winemakers notes
: Cutting edge viticultural practices has see these grapes being both high in acid & sugars – the perfect combination for Sauvignon Blanc. The acids will help this wine retain those powerful aromas & fresh fruit characteristics.
