From a 4 star rated James Halliday winery 2012 and winemaker James Ceccato is Head Over Heels with this 2011 Eden Valley Riesling. Harvested late in the season as a forgotten wine! Medium sweet in taste with an attractive mix of citrus blossoms and rose petals on the nose that carries through to a rich and flavoursome palate of citrus flavours in abundance and enhanced by crisp and racy acidy offering a perfect balance for any sweetness.

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!

Est. in 1926 and from a 4.5 star rated James Halliday winery 2009. Winner of 1 Silver and 2 Bronze medals the Blewitt Springs 2008 Grenache comes from a vineyard on the coastal side of the McLaren Vale, in the area known as Tatachilla. Deep brick red, with aromas of spicy cherry, plums and raspberries, and the complexity on the nose is increased by the subtle presence of American and French oak from maturation in new and older puncheons. The fruit flavours are juicy with a well rounded medium bodied palate.

From Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front: "brand to watch, excellent wines at excellent prices and from a James Halliday 5 star rated winery 2012. The 2008 Cardinham Cab Merlot is full bodied red with deep purple colours, just magical. Aromas of violets from mums Christmas cake. Its smooth silky tannins will have you coming back for more.
