TASTING NOTES

**************



2008 SAUVIGNON BLANC
**************
A very kind season in the vineyard allowed us to craft a classic cool climate sauvignon blanc. A brilliant pale green colour with youthful hues. A lively and elegant bouquet of gooseberry, snowpea and citrus with hints of herbaceous cool climate aromas. An impressive generous palate displaying fine gooseberry and richer tropical fruit favours with an underlying crisp citrus acidity.


2007 SAUVIGNON BLANC
**************
A late but dry and warm season produced a brilliant pale green wine with an intensely vibrant and elegant nose of gooseberry and citrus with hints of classic cool climate herbaceous aromas. A palate of impressive length displaying fine gooseberry and richer passion fruit favours with an underlying crisp citrus finish.


2007 SEMILLON
**************
A late but warm dry season produced a brilliant steely green coloured wine intense aromas of lemons and quince complemented by classic varietal spice and freshly cut grass. A fine palate of impressive length displaying zesty limey citrus favours with crisp finty finish.


2008 SEMILLON
**************
A very kind season in the vineyard allowed us to craft a classic cool climate semillon. A brilliant steely green colour with youthful steely hues. Intense bouquet of lemons and limes and passionfruit are supported by typical cool climate finty notes. The bouquet is refected on the palate. Fine favours of zesty citrus combine harmoniously with more generous stone fruit characters


2007 PINOT NOIR
**************
Selling like hot cakes. Possibly the closest we have got to our 2001 Pinot which won almost every award. Dark rich colour and spicy nose with enormous depth of palate. So much going on in this wine you just have to taste it to try and describe it yourself. Be quick only 1 ½ pallets left.


2006 PINOT NOIR
**************
A very complex wine which came from a very awkward vintage. Pinot fanatics buy this one because it is very typically a European Pinot. the nose is very unusual and needs to breathe. The palate is rich and spicy and beautifully balanced with premium French oak. Proving to be a real talking point, this wine. People love it because it is so different. Not much left.


PINOT NOIR 2004
**************
A complex partially barrel fermented Pinot garnet red in colour, displaying a wild berry and earthy forest fruit bouquet. The palate is long and weighty. A complex cherry and red berry dominated wine. Alc. 13.5%.


2008 MERLOT
**************
We haven’t had a Merlot for a while because of our commitment to only producing wines of the highest standard. The 2008 Merlot is so raspberry and dark berry yet very delicate and elegant. Great depth and showing that in cool climates Merlots that are grown and made carefully can really knock your socks off. 15 months in premium new French oak, provides so much complexity. Fine tannins and a persistent palate leaves you wanting more. Limited stock.


2009 CHARDONNAY
**************
The 2009 is very fresh and fruity. This unoaked style is full of life and ready for the summer drinking season. Thoroughly recommended for all types of foods and occasions.


2006 SOMERSET SPARKLING CONSTELLATION Blend
**************
A traditional Methode Champenoise sparkling. Creamy yeasty apple juice and citrus palate. Light pale straw in colour and exceptional fine bead and generous mousse. One of our best champagnes since our first vintage.



2006 SOMERSET SPARKLING CONSTELLATION BLANC DE BLANC
**************
Our 2006 sparkling Blanc de Blanc is something special. As always, the wine undergoes a minimum of two years bottle aging before release. This wine is full of sunshine and fruit. Zingy and fresh with a beautiful fine bead and generous favours to excite the palate. A new colour label has been designed and the bottle wears a classy black foil. 13.2/% alcohol gives you a delicious full favour full of fruit
