Marzemino - Australian rare wine

Marzemino is a red wine grape that is primarily grown around Isera, south of Trentino. The wine is most noted for its mention in the opera Don Giovanni. The vine ripens late and is susceptible to oidium. Wine produced from the grape has a characteristic dark tint and light plummy taste.
Michelini Marzemino (2005) Deep red purple colour, the nose displays ripe chocolate, marzipan and cassis notes, with full mouthfeel and persistent flavours. Michelini Wines is situated in the heart of the cool Alpine Valleys in NE Victoria. Michelini Wines continues a family winemaking tradition spanning over 150 years. The cellar door is housed in an Italian style villa, and wines produced include Fizz, Chardonnay, Merlot, traditional Marzemino and the unique Fragolino.

Tempranillo - Australian rare wine

This variety is capable of producing deeply colored, richly flavored and ageworthy wines with flavors of dark cherry, spice, tobacco, and strawberry. Fairly low in acid and alcohal levels, Tempranillo is often blended with other grape varieties such as Garnacha (Grenache) Monastrell, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot.

Gran Tinto (2003) from Vinifera Wines - a medium bodied red, a blend of Spanish varieties & Cabernet Sauvignon. Savoury, blackberry & dark chocolate flavours & fine tannins. Vinifera Wines - Mudgee vineyard specializing in Spanish grape varieties, Tempranillo, Graciano & Garnacha. Multi award winning Chardonnay, Semillon & Cabernet Sauvignon.

Zinfandel - Australian rare wine

Zinfandel is a "new-world" grape varietal that been around for a long time. The wines are big, robust, and incredibly concentrated. You will find wines that have depth, color, concentration and balance as well as those exotic spices so unique to zins. They are drinkable now, but will certainly not wilt in the cellar. Think pizza, rib-eye steak and especially..summer barbeques!
Peel Estate Zinfandel (2003) - The nose is full of licorice, leather, chocolate - and a touch of camphor. There's the trademark licorice on the palate, but you'd never believe this was 16.5 per cent alcohol as there's not a trace of portiness either. The best thing is the 1970s-style tannin buzz on your lips - that's a rarity in these tannin-controlled days. This is a restrained Peel zin, but with all the usual flavour goodies. Not quite Zin-Lite, but you might actually get to a second bottle of this one. Peel Estate - This magnificent Winery was the first to be established between Perth and Bunbury. A colonial style building with a mezzanine tasting area in peaceful surrounds. A BBQ can be enjoyed with your wine under the majestic Tuart Gums. Premium quality wines made from grapes grown on the estate.

Have a wonderful day!

Warm regards,
