| Sylvia Riesling 2007 The fruit for this wine also comes from the Barwite vineyard just down the road. It was picked earlier than the other Riesling and is loosely based on the German “Kabinett” style of Riesling which is low in alcohol, fruit driven and is usually a little sweet. This is the second release of this style at Delatite and the acid and sugar are beautifully balanced. This balance is achieved by stopping the fermentation when it tastes just right something the winemakers keep a close eye on. This is a wine which can be paired with many dishes from canapés to Asian cuisine a German pork dish with sauerkraut to fresh fruit salad or lemon tart. Try it for yourself.

| Riesling 2006 The Riesling fruit was picked over the last week in March and the first fortnight of April, with the warm and dry weather preceding the harvest making it the earliest vintage in 35 years for Delatite. The wine shows strong grapefruit and lime aromas, combined with some regional floral tones; it has great length of flavour, a mineral finish and a lovely crisp natural acidity. This is a wine to enjoy when young, or to cellar with confidence for up to 15 years. Beautiful with Whiting. Alc/vol 13.0% | Bottle Price $22.00 | Add to Cart |

Late Picked Riesling 2005 To make this sweeter style of table wine, the fruit was picked on the 20th April 2005, at the end of a very early season, after the fruit for the 2005 Riesling had been harvested. The aromas are of perfumed grapefruit and lime, combined with tea-rose and a hint of musk, while the palate has rich fruit flavours and a delicate sweetness which is balanced with tangy acidity. Delicious to drink when young or cellar for up to 10 years. Alc/vol 10.5% | Bottle Price $22.00 | Add to Cart |

| VS Riesling 2005 The first blocks of Riesling were planted at Delatite Vineyards in 1968 and it is from these vines that the fruit was picked in the second week of May; the cool dry weather preceding harvest and the slow ripening conditions have developed the depth of flavour in this variety. The wine shows intense aromas of citrus flowers, limes and hints of floral; it has great strength of flavour the limey/citrus flavours are balanced with a mineral finish and fresh acidity. It has a certain austerity and will cellar well for up to 15 years. Alc/vol. 13.5% | Bottle Price $25.00 | Add to Cart |

Dungeon Gully 2004 A lovely blend made from the ripe grapes of the 2004 vintage. The fruit comes from three of our red varieties picked in early April and the Merlot picked in the last week of April. The warm, berry characters of the Merlot (55%) combine with the dark cherry, plum and spiciness of the Shiraz (25%) and Tempranillo, while the Cabernet lends berry fruits and structure. The palate is of medium weight, with round fruit and soft French and American oak flavours. Cellar for up to 8 years. Alc/vol. 13.5% | Bottle Price $22.00 | Add to Cart |

Pinot Noir 2006 Harvested between mid March and early April from three different local vineyards; Delatite, Barwite (another vineyard run by David Ritchie) and Jamieson River owned and run by John Eason and Janine Ridley. Sourcing fruit from different sites and different clones (MV6, 114, 115 and D5V12) gives the wine added complexity and subtlety. The must was cold soaked in open tubs for 4 days before being fermented over 10 days at warm temperatures and hand plunged to give us great arms! Additionally, some whole bunches and stalks were left in the ferment to give even more complexity and structure to this wine. It then had some maceration time on skins after ferment before being dug out by hand and buckets and then pressed off skins - very traditional and giving us even better shaped arms and legs. Aged in new and 3 year old French oak hogsheads and barriques for 18 months, the resulting wine has sweet, plum and raspberry characters with tones of cinnamon and clove. The spice and savoury tones threading through the palate are balanced with soft tannins to give a supple, medium-bodied wine, which will reward cellaring for a minimum of 6-8 years. Goes magically with any kind of duck…..quack, quack! Alc/vol 14.0% | Bottle Price $25.00 | Add to Cart |

| Shiraz 2005 This wonderful cool climate Shiraz was harvested at the end of March and into early April. The aromas of white pepper and eucalyptus are very typical of Shiraz grown in the Mansfield area and it also shows ripe red berry aromas, plums and cherries. The wine spent 12 months in a mixture of French and American hogsheads and barriques which gives the wine a spicy vanillin lift. It has fine grain tannins and can be enjoyed now or cellared for up to 15 years. Glorious with Beef. Alc/vol 14.5% | Bottle Price $25.00 | Add to Cart |

| Demelza Rose 2003 Once again the Demelza has been returned back into its original state as a ROSE sparkling. It has a lovely light salmon colour which is very attractive in the glass. Made from 62%Pinot Noir and 38% Chardonnay, the grapes were hand picked from our property then whole bunch pressed and quickly settled for 2 days. The juice was fermented cold until dry. Its secondary fermentation in bottle took place at Domaine Chandon and has spent forty-two months on lees and was disgorged in September 2007. The lovely, complex aromas and round, primary fruit characters of the Pinot combine beautifully with the melon and citrus of the Chardonnay, which also lends some structure to the finish. It has richness of flavour, finely balanced with acidity, and serves as an aperitif or for savouring with oysters, salmon and other strong flavours.

| Fortifieds All three of these wines have been made by Stanton and Killeen at Rutherglen, one of the best fortified makers in the country (it being too cool here for us to even attempt the style!). Rutherglen is famous internationally for its fortified wines, especially Muscat and Tokay. The White Port is quite elegant whilst the Muscadelle (formerly called Tokay) and Muscat are a lot more luscious. Absolutely beautiful to sip on after dinner or in summer you can add an ice block to dilute the alcohol and intensity but still get the lovely flavours. |
