Arneis 2011

Arneis is the main white grape variety from Piedmont (north west Italy) which is famous for its reds - Barolo and Barbaresco (Nebbiolo). Our Arneis is a delicate, fresh summer wine with aromas of pears and herbs and almond flavours on the palate and a strong mineral backbone. If you favour the primary fruit aromas and beautiful fragrance we suggest drinking this wine in the next few years.

Botrytis Chardonnay 2007

This Botrytis Chardonnay is more like a “Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA)”. Trockenbeeren refers to grapes (Beeren) shrivelled by noble rot. Extremely ripe grapes and high must weight made this ultra-rich, deep golden, heavily botrytised wine. There is obviously only a little juice left in shrivelled berries and the vinifying of such a sticky juice can be challenging. The risk of loosing the grapes to grey rot because of possible prolonged rain was nerve racking (and we did loose all the botrytis Chardonnay in 2006). However, two and half months after the harvest of the “dry” Chardonnay on the 15th of June we finally could pick tiny but perfectly shrivelled grapes which have fermented into this wonderful age worthy nectar with flavours of pure honey and quince.

Botrytis Pinot Gris 2009

This Botrytis Pinot Gris was handpicked after being left on the vine into early May 2009, where the grapes were heavily wrinkled by noble rot. This Pinot Gris still displays those classic golden, rich and unctuous characteristics you’d expect from a Botrytis-style wine, balanced with surprising acidity. A heady blend of sweet candy, orange blossom and quince on the nose, the palate displays a rich blend of tropical fruit, with a lingering length of almond nougat.

Cabernet Franc 2008

This was an early vintage after a warm summer for our Cabernet Franc and we picked our grapes on a long Autumnal day at an extremely low yield of 500g per vine. A long fermentation with regular, gentle hand plunging ensured optimum extraction and voluptuous texture before the new must was gently pressed into French barriques and aged for 24 months. An intense, meaty complex Cabernet Franc with attractive aromas of dark berries are supported by backbone of fine tannins and velvety tannins complete this full bodied and elegant wine.

Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

The growing season of 2003 was hot and brought everything this great grape variety loved. I kept yield levels on about 500gr per vine to gain high concentration and full physiological ripeness. Extremely full-bodied and deep dark colour bursting with power, concentration and texture. A heady nose, displaying flavours of dark black current underpinned by liquorish and savoury overtones, and enveloped by fine ripe tannins. A masculine but delicate wine which will age gracefully over the next 15 years.

Cuvee Therese Rose 2008

The fruit from our low yielding vines already had a good ripeness but with a higher acidity than we would pick for the dry wines. 80% of the beautiful Pinot Noir was blended with 20% of the small berried, flavourful Mendoza Chardonnay. Cheeky rose-pink, sparkling with fine bubbles, this wine shows seductive aromas of ripe raspberry and strawberry. Impressive in its opulence but refreshing and elegant with a long lingering finish.
