Poacher's Blend, St Hallett~Fresh, tropical fruit flavours typical of Semillon and early picked Sauvignon Blanc as well as a hint of citrus and acidity from the Riesling…~St Hallett Poacher’s Blend embraces the spectrum of aromatics and fresh, tropical fruit flavours typical of Semillon and early picked Sauvignon Blanc in the Barossa as well as a hint of citrus and acidity from the Riesling.

Pale yellow in colour with a green hue. The nose is full of passionfruit and pineapple with underlying lime and grassy aromas, as well as citrus hints from the Riesling. Full flavoured and generous, the palate exhibits a range of fruit flavours that persist over the whole length, finishing with a twist of lime. The phenolic backbone provides structure and mouth feel, which is balanced with crisp acidity.

This wine marries with the freshwater crustaceans and fish that are regularly "poached" from the creeks and waterways of landowners in the country. The simple, fresh pristine flavours of fresh yabbies and blue swimmer crab are the perfect complement.

The Hermit Crab Marsanne Viognier, d'Arenberg~Brilliant mid-straw in colour, this wine exhibits fresh and tropical aromas with a strong emphasis on stone fruits, pineapple, mango and honeysuckle…~The Hermit Crab McLaren Vale Viognier Marsanne has a green, brilliant mid-straw colour and exhibits fresh and tropical fruit with a strong emphasis on stone fruits, pineapple, mango and honeysuckle.

The youthful palate is immediately luscious with those tropical fruit, honeysuckle and stone fruit flavours balanced by fresh grapefruit and light butter tastes, before a long persistent fruit finish. The wine shows vibrant freshness with enjoyable hints of hazelnut and slight mineral boney-ness, characteristic of Marsanne.

Given time to prove its longevity and most importantly not served over chilled, The Hermit Crab Viognier Marsanne we believe should develop intense, complex nuttiness with emphasis on cashews, as well as butterscotch characters.

Serve with a large range of foods from lightly flavoured, through to full flavoured poultry, veal, lamb and pork as well as desserts and cheeses. Also good as an aperitif.

The Olive Grove Chardonnay, d'Arenberg~This wine has a pretty smart reputation for itself internationally, most notably winning multiple gold medals at the Chardonnay du Monde in Burgundy France…~The Olive Grove Chardonnay has won a pretty smart reputation for itself both nationally and internationally, most notably winning multiple gold medals at the Chardonnay du Monde in Burgundy France.

Given time to prove its longevity and most importantly not served over-chilled, d’Arenberg’s The Olive Grove McLaren Vale Chardonnay develops intense, complex honey, cashew, fig and soft toast aromas. Typically, butterscotch, light caramel and hints of fresh tobacco are evident too.

The fresh structured mid palate retains its texture but opens slowly into generous sweet banana butterscotch flavours with hints of smoky bacon and green olive tastes before finishing with a persistent developed stone-fruit and chalky texture.

MadFish Sauvignon Blanc Semillon~The wine displays the strong aromas of cool climate Sauvignon Blanc with grassy herbal characters tempered by some more floral honeysuckle notes derived from the Semillon…~The 2007 season was near perfect with even and moderate temperatures and no summer rain. Crop yields were down as a result of the cold spring of 05/06 which reduced the fruitfulness of the budwood however with reduced yields comes improved quality. The result was fewer bunches overall but even fruit set from the ideal growing conditions of spring 2006. There were a couple of hot days in March but the overall growing season was early and moderate producing completely disease free fruit of optimal ripeness.

The resultant 2007 vintage delivered us wonderful Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon fruit flavours: tight citrus notes from the Great Southern, grassy and herbal characters from the Pemberton region, and riper passionfruit characters from Margaret River. With very early picking dates this year the fruit was able to ripen without any disease risks associated with late season rains. The wine is unwooded, with fermentation occurring in stainless steel tanks and then bottled at an early age. A low temperature, protective regime was adopted during its production, thereby preserving the finer fruit characters of these aromatic varieties.varieties.

MadFish Unwooded Chardonnay~The palate displays complexity with layers of fruit flavours balanced against the leaner, elegant citrus flavours. The finish is generous and long with a clean acid thrust…~The wine is of a pale straw appearance with tints of green. The nose exhibits a wonderful aromatic drive bursting with fruity esters. It gains further complexity by the combination of the riper white peach and melon aromas with the finer grapefruit and citrus characters. The palate, like the nose, is also complex with many layers of fruit flavours and a clean fine structure. Again the riper fruit characters balance well with the leaner more elegant citrus flavours. The finish is generous and long with a clean acid thrust.

The 2005/2006 growing season was a remarkably cool one. Maximum temperatures only rarely got as high as 30C and in general the nights were relatively warm. This meant that the diurnal range (the difference between the maximum and minimum temperature for a twenty four hour period) was very low. This small diurnal range throughout the year lead to very even ripening conditions for white grapes.

The cool conditions through the year allowed the fruit to develop very fine and quite delicate flavours. Additionally the lower temperatures meant that the fruit stayed on the vine for about a week to two and a half weeks longer than is normal leading to greater concentration of flavour in the fruit.

The fruit for this wine was exclusively sourced from the cooler regions of the lower South West of Western Australia where Chardonnay tends to develop a range of flavours from the leaner citrus end of the spectrum up to the fuller nectarine and melon characters.

The nose shows limes, passion fruit and floral characters while the palate is clean and refreshing with citrus and bath salts to backup the riper fruit flavours. The finish is quite mineral like with a lovely zing of acid that streaks down the palate.This wine will drink wonderfully from a very young age, but like all good Rieslings it will develop intriguing secondary characters as it ages, allowing for toasty flavours to compliment the primary fruit. Given correct storage this wine will reward cellaring for at least eight years.

The Winter of 2004 proved to be one of the driest in recent years, resulting in very low soil moisture as the vines started to emerge from dormancy in Spring. This in turn meant a slight reduction in yields for some vineyards as flowering and fruit set was sometimes stressed for water. However conditions through late Spring and Summer were ideal for the vines as it was cool and dry.

Extensive blending trials were carried out to produce a wine that is a little riper than most Rieslings, resulting in a wine that is perfect for early consumption but still capable of aging in the bottle.

Piquant and juicy, the flavour matches the aroma, all framed with gentle phenolics and fresh acidity.

Fruit was sourced from southern Margaret River. The cooler part of the region suits these two aromatic varieties.

Viticultural practices, now taken as standard, have evolved over thirty years and to a large extent, this wine is made on the vine.

It is a balancing act between leaf to crop ratio and the leaf's exposure to sunlight. The ability to harvest at night is all important.

The Kuitpo Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc vines are now two decades old and producing consistently exceptionalwines. 2005 is the first release of this wine under the K1 label coming from a truly stunning vintage for this variety.

In 1987 Geoff Hardy and his family began planting 30 hectares of vines with the aim of producing high quality fruit for specific use in super premium wines. The site, named Kuitpo Vineyard, is located along the ridge of the South-West escarpment of the Mt Lofty Ranges at a height of between 300-350 metres above sea level. The combination of this altitude, climate and ancient soils make the site ideal for a premium cool climate vineyard. As this vineyard was the first significant planting in the Kuitpo region, most people refer to it now as the 'K1' vineyard.

The three white amigos have their roots in gravel loam derived from granite. The marsanne grows on an exposed hill, a tough site where, without a restraining struggle, this amigo might become rambunctious and over indulged.

The Last Ditch Viognier, d'Arenberg~Increasingly popular as a result of its recently discovered attributes, in particular its apricot, peach and blossom characters…~Kit Stevens MW (Master of Wine) calls Viognier the Viagra of the vineyard for the new millennium. The variety has become increasingly popular in Australia since the late 1990’s as a result of its recently discovered attributes, in particular its apricot, peach and blossom characters.

In its youth d’Arenberg’s The Last Ditch Viognier has a brilliant mid straw colour with lifted nectarine, white peach and apricot dominated aromas, as well as enveloping rose, ginger and fruit blossoms.

These also dominate the young palate where thick and viscous fruit showing rose, nectarine and white peaches develop into an unctuous long lasting palate showing ginger and spices. A very complex wine, offering a huge spectrum of flavours.

After some bottle ageing d’Arenberg’s The Last Ditch Viognier should develop in colour to a richer bright gold.

Serve with a large range of foods from lightly flavoured, through to full flavoured poultry, veal, lamb and pork as well as desserts and cheeses. Also good as an aperitif.

Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc Semillon~The full, textured palate displays grilled asparagus, a flamboyant squeeze of citrus and a hint of dried herbs, finishing long with vibrant, cleansing acidity…~Heady aromas of lemon blossom, snowpeas and lemon thyme are enhanced by a hint of sweet orange sherbert.

The full, textured palate displays grilled asparagus, a flamboyant squeeze of citrus and a hint of dried herbs, finishing long and focused with vibrant, cleansing acidity. Best enjoyed chilled, within two years of release.

Half of the grapes are sourced from estate vineyards and the other half from contract growers in the Margaret River region. Gravel laterite soils predominate in most of the best vineyards with some sandy loam soils in others. A range of canopy management strategies are employed, all with the objective of maximising sunlight into the fruiting zone. The most favoured technique is vertical shoot positioning with leaf removal which improves sunlight exposure, enhancing flavour development and providing a balanced leaf to fruit ratio for even ripening. Irrigation is used judiciously to maintain balanced vine growth and a steady rate of ripening.

The fruit for this wine is sourced from three sites, with most coming from our Chapman Brook Vineyard planted in 1993-4, located about 20km south-east of Margaret River townsite. The chardonnay here grows on a north facing slope with well-drained, grey gravel loam soils and provides crisp, clean citrus flavoured fruit. The McHenry Vineyard has a sheltered north-easterly aspect and deep gravel loam soils sloping down to the Margaret River. This low-yielding vineyard provides quality fruit that forms the backbone of the wine. The sandy loam soils of the Maiolo Vineyard, further north in the region, produce fruit contributing to the ripe, full-bodied characters of the wine. All vineyards are spur pruned and vertical shoot positioned to enhance sunlight exposure.
