All Whites

Rated 4 glasses James Halliday 2011 Australian Wine Companion, 1 Silver and 6 Bronze medals. Viognier is highly esteemed in the old world and is quickly forging a reputation in Australia as a complex, full bodied and flavoursome alternative to Chardonnay. Rating: "Bloody good", Peter Forrestal, QUAFF.

From a 4 star rated winery 2012 and winemaker James Ceccato is Head Over Heels with this 2011 cool climate South Australian Semillon Sauvignon Blanc. Light straw in colour with green hues and generous aromas of lime, lemon, green bean and asparagus that flow onto a palate that is medium bodied, with crisp green apple, fresh lime and capsicum flavours, and a long lingering crisp finish.

From a 4 star James Halliday rated winery 2012. The Berton Pewter Range 2011 Eden Valley Sauvignon Blanc is pale straw with green hues in colour and aromas of green asparagus, gooseberry and sweet capsicum with underlying tropical fruit characters. The palate has crisp snow peas with hints of passionfruit and mouth watering acidity that adds great structure and depth with a very long and lingering finish - mouth watering yes!

From a 5 Star rated James Halliday Winery 2012. Harvested by hand, with the fruit being crushed, chilled and pressed immediately. Brokenwoods 2010 Army Block Single Vineyard Semillon is pale green straw in colour, with fragrant talc and lemon grass aromas typical of Hunter Semillon at an early age. These characters continue onto the palate with a zesty citrus note, perfect balance and acid structure that keeps the flavours long and lingering. Rewards are reaped with 5-6 years cellaring.
