Somewhere near the Seaview end of McLaren Vale's Chapel Hill Road, a perfunctory passerine perched her pincers astride a pair of power poles and saw herself alit. Down she went amongst the dry grown branches of an old Grenache vineyard, setting the valuable veterans ablaze. The scorched site eventually came to the attention of a winemaking trio, the Messrs Leske, Tynan & Cooke, Masters of Wine and a venerable vintner, all driven by a consuming passion to make greater Grenache. Thistledown vintage very small amounts of the most extraordinary Grenache. Beautifully detailed and conspicuously elegant, their floral bouquets and graceful finish emulate the aromatic lift and peacock's tail of a prettily.. Polly & the pyre to paradise»
The 1890s brought boom years to the nascent Aussie wine industry, as connoisseurs throughout Europe and the Empire were introduced to the Dionysian delights of new world Claret by Tyrrell, St Huberts and Wirra Wirra. An enterprising family of Scots took heed of the times to plant grapevines on a uniquely auspicious block in Valley Clare, they called it St Andrew and produced forty vintages of the most sensational quality Claret until the 1930s. The Taylor family acquired the fallow farm in 1995 and brought St Andrew's vines back to life. The treasured block endures as home to the flagship range of Taylor wines, one of the most distinguished vineyards in all Australia. St Andrew's Cabernet was adjudicated.. *according to the french»
Xavier Bizot can make wine anywhere he pleases, he is a Bollinger and grew up amongst the Vignobles Superieurs of Champagne. Bizot has chosen to make wine alongside Brian Croser's family, from grapes harvested off three magnificent sites, on two paradoxically varied terrains. Planted to the salubrious Terra rosa soils atop an invaluable archeological dig at Wrattonbully, rich with the undisturbed fossils of ancient Cenozoic sea animals, Crayeres Vineyard was established right across the road from Tapanappa's illustrious Whalebone. The weather here is astonishingly similar to Bordeaux and makes an awesome Cabernet Franc. Xavier Bizot and Lucy Croser are also fortunate to take their pick of properties in..

Established in the early 1990s, Twin Islands is symbolic of the two main Islands of Aotearoa. A harvest of Sauvignon Blanc from good Marlborough vineyards. Each site brings its own characters and flavours to the blend. The grapes are harvested in the cool of the morning, gently crushed and pressed to separate the full flavoured grape juice from the skins. The juices are then allowed to settle prior to racking and clarifying. Components are treated to a long cool fermentation before taste trials and blending aimed at retaining the aromatics and fresh fruit characters. The finished wine is assembled to express a range of flavours from capsicum and citrus through to gooseberry and ripe tropical fruits.
Pale straw in colour. Fragrances of gooseberry and capsicum, bouquets of passionfruit and gooseberry, followed by the green vegetal of peas and asparagus, grasses and stalk. The palate unfolds to lemon and lychee, passionfruits, citrus and tropical pacific flavours. Great drinking now until release of the next vintage.

Then we see them further emerge through fermentation and we can release a world class product three months later. A wine that is truly made on the vine!"
