| Crawford River - 2013 - Rose |
A delicious and strikingly alluring combination of fresh red and black currants is the introduction to this decidedly quaffable Rosé. The lifted nose is followed by subtle allspice and mace overtones on the front palate, with a soft textural quality throughout the remainder of the well-rounded, dry palate. A soft, fine textural element pervades the palate with well- poised acidity balancing the lingering finish. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and "made from the ground up", the fruit is soaked for several hours on skins before being gently pressed and the resultant juice fermented to dryness.

| Crawford River - 2011- Semillon Sauvigon Blanc |
Fresh lime juice and stoney minerals meld with honeydew melon and grassiness to form an intense and lifted bouquet in this lively, Semillon dominant blend. These characters are magnified on the soft and textured palate whilst mingling seamlessly with delicious passionfruit notes as they come into play - the whole underpinned by a fine, chalky backbone. After the cool 2011 vintage, this wine needed time to evolve and the wait has provided dividends indeed. A bright, bone dry finish is clean and refreshing. Well structured and youthful, it will reward further cellaring.

| Crawford River - 2008 - Cabernet Merlot |
A warmer than usual Autumn in 2008 produced delicious berries with concentrated flavours and resulted in a wine with generous overtones of ripe blackberries, mulberries and red fruit on the nose. A fleshy, soft wine with hints of allspice and bay leaf, the palate begins with plenty of fruit coupled with notes of dark, rich chocolate. Fine, powdery tannins throughout aid firm structure and complexity, whilst refined wood integration fills the supple palate. Terrific persistence and fine natural acidity make this delicious drinking which rewards some time in the glass.
50% Cabernet Sauvignon / 50% blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot.

| Crawford River - 2006 - Cabernet Sauvignon |
Succulent redcurrants, baking spices, bay and tobacco leaf herald the entrance to this graceful, refined Cabernet. A delicious union of ripe fruit characters, savoury nuances and fine minerals, together with well-integrated French oak (24 months) create a vibrant, multi-layered and long palate. The silky, finely textured palate is well balanced by soft acidity and dry, fine tannins, making this stylish, complex wine a pleasure to drink. It will reward further cellaring.
90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc & Merlot.

| Pierrepoint - 2008 - pinot noir |
Brilliant, beautiful garnet red. A generous bouquet of red berries, forest floor
and dried flowers is full of intrigue and complexity. A French oak, clove-like
influence plays a supportive role. When tasted, a core of medium weight red
fruit, quite powerful in flavour yet fine in definition is balanced and kept in
check by a well judged tannin – acid structure. This delicious combination of
richness and savouriness continues throughout the long, elegant finish.
A joy to drink now, careful medium term cellaring will offer complex rewards
to the patient.

Brilliant, beautiful ruby red.
A powerful bouquet suggestive of glazed cherry, raspberry and complex earthiness has been carefully cut with a French oak clove-like character. Lifted and complex.
With flavours true to the promised bouquet, the palate offers plush rich fruit, generous in weight and fine in texture. The yin of trademark Pinot Noir mid-palate fleshy richness is deftly cut by the yang of well judged structure consisting of fine- grained tannin and natural acid.
This wine is a joy to drink now but careful cellaring will reward the patient. Food Matches: Lamb, mushroom risotto, duck etc

| Pierrepoint - 2011 - pinot noir |
Brilliant, beautiful garnet red. Bright fruit aromas of black cherry, cranberry and redcurrant are true to our vineyard’s terroir, these characters are supported by a carefully balanced French oak clove-like character. When tasted, the promised fruit characters are replicated on the palate. Elegance is a feature of the vintage and this wine has a very elegant profile that expresses a lovely interplay between the flesh of fruit weight and the skeleton of fine natural acid and tannin. Trademark Pinot Noir characters of mid-palate fleshy richness, balanced by the afore-mentioned tannin, completes this fine, long in flavour, wine. This wine is a joy to drink now but careful cellaring will reward the patient.

| Pierrepoint - 2012 - chardonnay |
In the glass this wine has a brilliant, green-straw appearance. True to its terroir the nose delivers a complex bouquet with citrus fruit aromas reminiscent of mandarin and lemon zest. These primary aromas are balanced with a certain minerally character and creamy, hazelnut-cashew barrel ferment inputs. When tasted the promised bouquet is delivered as a generous lively flavour, underpinned by a supple natural acid thread that keeps the wine fresh, focussed and fine. Fruit concentration is a feature of the mid palate working in harmony with subtle textural barrel ferment qualities. Sustained length of flavour, balance and vitality are the wines key attributes.
