NV Sparkling Meslier Brut Rosé
Meslier is one of the rarest Champagne grape varieties in the world with only 20 hectares planted worldwide. It is grown in the cool-climate Adelaide Hills area of Mount Torrens, around 600 metres above sea level, and is the only single varietal Meslier Sparkling wine produced in the world.
After two years, the base wine is left on yeast lees. It is blended with a percentage of the current vintage and the previous vintage. It then undergoes four years of bottle ageing before release and consequently delivers a complexity of flavour and balance. A superbly fine beading and unique fresh green apple and citrus flavours.
2017 Barossa Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc is one of the original noble varieties grown in the Barossa Valley. Genetically related to Cabernet Sauvignon, however, Cabernet Franc has less tannin making it ideal for food matching.
It is a lighter wine than Cabernet Sauvignon, with a bright pale red colour. It also contributes a beautiful finesse to the wine and lends a peppery perfume along with floral violet aromatics, raspberry and sage flavours.
Cabernet Franc pairs well with chicken, lamb and veal dishes. Drink now but it will age for at least five years with careful cellaring.
2016 Barossa Merlot
A long-respected variety in France and America, Barossa Merlot presents the classic dark morello cherry, fruitcake and spice aromatics and the flavours are complimented by velvety, soft silky tannins.
The fruit is taken from vineyards around 500 metres above sea level giving cooler climate aromas and flavours adding an extra layer of complexity. An outstanding favourite food match for Merlot is double roasted duck and game meat.
