Crown Ambassador 2010 Reserve Larger | $0.00 OR $0.00 IN A DOZEN |
|
PRICES TO BE ADVISED CLOSER TO RELEASE. First released in 2008, Crown Ambassador Reserve Lager pioneered a new luxury style beer never before seen or tasted in Australia. Following the success of the first two vintages, the highly sought after 2010 Crown Ambassador Reserve will arrive in August. Brewed under the watchful eye of Master Brewer, John Cozens, the limited-edition third vintage continues the tradition of adding distinctive crystal malt and handpicked Galaxy hops to the brew that together add great complexity to the finished beer. However, unique to the 2010 vintage is the addition of a small amount of Reserve stock from last year's vintage aged in French oak barrels for 12 months and carefully blended into this release to add further richness, complexity and depth to this already remarkable beer. Due to the limited seasonal availability of fresh hops, this beer is brewed only once a year and in 2010 just 7,000 individually numbered and exquisitely packaged bottles of the 2010 vintage will be released. Meticulously handcrafted and using only the finest quality ingredients,Crown Ambassador Reserve ia a very special beer that can be savoured now or tresured for years to come. If cellared correctly this incredible brew will continue to evolve and improve for up to 10 years. |

Babich Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2009 | $19.99 OR $17.99 IN A DOZEN |
|
A long and late ripening period of short sunny days and cold nights has enhanced the typically vibrant flavours of the Marlborough Region. After harvesting the grapes were quickly crushed and pressed into stainless steel tanks where the juice was fermented at controlled cool temperatures to capture the intense varietal flavours. The wine was then blended and bottled. The aromas of lantana and wild herbs combines with tropical fruits and green apple. The palate is exuberant and intense-fruit salad, nettles and fresh herbs burst into existence and continue through the length of the palate, joined at the end by lime/citrus and mineral notes. A powerful and lengthy Sauvignon. It works well with a white meat dish. Great with oysters or green salad. Reviews – WineOrbit Review, August 2007. "They've hit a 6 with this wine. Full on passion fruit and feijoas with a succulent palate loaded with ripe fruit flavours. The zesty acid adds real life to the wine and lengthens the finish. It's gorgeous: pure and absolutely delicious. At its best now to 2008." - 94 POINTS - SMART BUY - 5 STARS. Wine Advocate Issue #176, April 2008. - Thee 2007 Sauvignon Blanc exhibits a quintessential herbaceous nose with gooseberry and a touch of mango on the sharp, crisp, perhaps slightly raspy finish." - 87POINTS. Cuisine Magazine, November 2007 - 4 STARS Port of Wines Festival, Nova Scotia, 2007 - GOLD MEDAL |

TeKairanga Runholder Martinborough Pinot Noir, 2006 | $47.99 OR $43.19 IN A DOZEN |
|
Fruit was harvested in the cool morning, allowing the individual ‘parcels’ of grapes to reach the winery in optimum condition. The use of gravity to move the fruit and must has eliminated pumping, a significant benefit in the strive for quality.. Traditional fermentation with gentle plunging at six hourly intervals gave an excellent extraction of colour and tannins. A glorious deep purple colour with aromas of dark cherries, plum and liquorice on the nose. There is an underlying peppery complexity is already evident at this early age. Classic sweet fruit dominates, giving a big, textured and concentrated palate with persistence and length. The rich silky tannin structure and subtle oak treatment complemented the rich fruit, giving a beautifully integrated and balanced wine. |
