Adelaide Hills
BIRTNBCH
A lightly oaked Chardonnay using both new and old French oak to give a lively aroma of hazelnut citrus and stone fruits. The palate offers an abundance of peach and nectarine with a clean and crisp finish. A combionation of wild and cultured yeasts add complexity and texture. James Halliday (August 2011): 92 points

Region: Australia, Adelaide Hills
Grape variety: Semillon, Muscat, Gewurztraminer & Pinot Gris
Tasting notes: A wacky blend of Semillon, Muscat, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris. Refreshingly low in alcohol, but not in taste.
Aromas of citrus and hints of peach, floral notes and an aromatic lifted spiciness. It has excellent structure, with a lemon tinged backbone and a soft zesty mouth full of crunchy fruit.

Light to medium depth crimson. Dark cherry and raspberry fruits mingle with sweet and white pepper spice and hints of vanilla add to the complexity. Ripe, red berry and dark cherry flows ontot he palate, melding into lovely sweet and briary spice. The finish lingers on a fruitful and spicy note with typical chalky yet fine tannins.
