Tingle-Wood Wines - Great Southern, Western Australia

Tingle-Wood, the pioneer vineyard in the Denmark viticultural region, was planted in 1976 by Bob & Judy Wood. Since 1980 it has produced classic dry Rieslings, sweet Riesling, and Cabernet-Sauvignon/Shiraz red blends, often winning gold, silver or bronze in various wine shows.

Red Tingle (2002)

A 50/50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. This wine is a dark ruby colour with crimson hue. An intense nose of pepper, cinnamon and plum fruits combining with a ripe fruit palate of dark berries. Toasty oak is evident with good persistence of flavour. Will age well.

Yellow Tingle (2001)

This 2001 Vintage Great Southern Riesling has a highly aromatic floral nose with distinct perfume characters along with sherbet flavours. The well-structured palate of intense citrus fruit is complexed by floral characters and slight apple notes with a good persistance of flavour.

Tranquil Vale - Lower Hunter Valley, New South Wales

Boutique vineyard (40 Tonne), situated on the banks of the Hunter River at Luskintyre. Specialising in Semillon, Chardonnay and Shiraz. Also available in limited qauantities Sparkling, Shiraz blends and dessert wine.

Tranquil Vale (2004) Chardonnay

Mid-gold in colour, the nose displays lifted honeydew and vanilla. The palate is refined and elegant with good structure, showing stone fruit and citrus characters. 85% French 15% American oak gives a slightly spicy character to this fruit driven wine which finishes with hints of peach and vanilla.

Semillon Tranquil Vale (2003)

Aromas of smoked nuts and lime, light gold colour, some honey on the palate with rich fruit and lemon zest!

Twelve Acres Winery - Goulburn Valley, Victoria

Peter and Jana Prygodicz welcome you to 12 Acres Winery. This tiny winery is an oasis for red wine lovers set in the gold and ironbark hills of Bailieston in Central Victoria. We pride ourselves on giving a unique wine experience to our customers - wines we enjoy ourselves with our evening meal.

Merlot (2002)

The wine has cinnamon, plum and cherry aromas. A good balance of acid, fruit and alcohol produce a soft wine, yet rich in flavour. This merlot goes well with all types of foods. Good drinking now, until 2010

Shiraz (2002)

Aromas of pepper and sweet, plummy fruit. The fruit extends to rich, velvety flavours which linger on. Years of barrel ageing have mellowed this wine, so that it can be drunk with most foods.
