With a light straw hue the nose opens with lifted melon, peach, grilled nuts and a clove/ cinnamon like character on the nose. The palate is mid weighted but with good flavour intensity. It shows succulent white peach and tinned pear juice with hints of mint and mushy peas. With a lovely pithy texture on the palate due to leaving the wine on lees in French oak.
“This Chardonnay has been made with only the “free run” juice – the first run, finest quality juice without the bitterness and phenolics associated with the grape skin. The juice was fermented in new and second use French oak 500 litre puncheons with some grape solids giving the wine a complex savoury note. It matured in oak for 9 months. Colour is a bright clear steely white with youthful green hues. Nectarine and mandarin are complemented by a textured savoury mid palate with hints of melon and spicy vanillin oak leading to a long crisp grapefruit finish. A vibrant lifted nose of citrus and stone fruits with savoury cashew notes and hints of gunflint and toasty French oak. This wine will improve with up to 10 years careful cellaring. “
A brilliant fresh green straw colour on release. Aromas complex, perfumed notes of citrus and fresh nectarines balanced by toasty French oak and a savoury cashew character from barrel fermentation. The palate is full-bodied and complex. Stone fruits and honeydew melon flavours lead to a creamier rounded mid-palate of peach, vanilla and roasted nuts, with a lingering crisp finish of grapefruit and spicy French oak.
Packham pear and white peaches carry the nose with a developed but subtle dried apricot lift in the background. Bright acidity with a fuller bodied frame carries the wine and develops into notes of citrus, white peaches and sweet spice. The zesty character in the wine is perfectly matched with lighter meals, white meats and seafood.
An intense, pungent nose displaying gooseberry and passionfruit with hints of tropical fruit and grassy citrus notes. The use of only free-run juice is reflected in the seamless purity of the palate. Mouth-watering citrus fruits are balanced by more tropical passionfruit and pineapple notes. Hints of flint and spice in the mid-palate lead to a lingering fine finish of grapefruit.
“The Harewood Estate Denmark Pinot Noir has been produced from fruit grown in the maritime subregion of Denmark in the Great Southern of Western Australia. The wine shows a light crimson with hints of purple. A lifted nose of red cherry and strawberry is complemented by earthier, mushroom characters and spicy French oak. Vibrant flavours of raspberry and ripe strawberries are balanced by more complex notes of spice and truffle with a creamy mid palate. The wine finishes with hints of mocha and redcurrant acidity supported by gentle tannins and toasty French oak.”
