Interested in low preservative wines?

• Australian Chardonnay (2003) from Personal Vintage Low Preservative Wines: The classic full bodied wine with a hint of oak


• Barking Owl Semillon Sauvignon Blanc (2006) from Millbrook Winery: Very light straw and bright in colour, this classic Western Australian blend exhibits fresh melon, passionfruit and tropical fruit salad aromas. Dry, with a crisp, fresh and wonderfully lingering backbone of flavour. Apple, pear and melon fruits are interwoven with the small component of barrel-fermented Semillon which produces subtle spicy, citrus oak flavours to the wine.


• Bluestone Lane Pinot Noir (2005) from Bluestone Lane Vineyard: The Wine displays a brilliant garnet colour, with rich lifted berry and floral aromas. The palate shows succulent raspberry, savoury and floral flavours persisting for a considerable length of time. A Mornington Peninsula, regional classic Pinot Noir. Pinot this good, originates only from the Mornington Peninsula.


• Mount Wareng Chambourcin Rose (2006) from Mount Wareng Vineyard: This Rose exhibits summer fruit characters, the palate starts with fresh raspberries, mulberries, and hints of cherries before a crisp, clean, dry finish.




• Cabernet Merlot (2004) from Romavilla Winery: Shows the distinctive soft and resinous flavours of these varieties.
