2006 COWRA VERDELHO
Estate-grown hand picked grapes were used to produce this delightfully fruity
dry Verdelho. The wine reflects the typical fruit flavours from the special
micro climate of our boutique vineyard and finishes with a clean, dry palate. It
is delicious with Mediterranean cuisine, seafood and white meat dishes.
2006 COWRA LATE-PICKED VERDELHO
This semi-sweet table wine was made from late-picked grapes and fermented to retain residual sugar. It has a lovely fresh fruity nose and flavour. Although sweet and fruity this wine is well balanced with acid, leaving a clean but lingering finish on the palate. It is excellent with cheese and fruit platters, desserts and spicy dishes.
2001 COWRA SEMILLON 1 silver & 1 bronze medal
Handpicked grapes were used to produce this wine which has a wonderful fresh fruity nose. The palate of lime and lemon peel lingers with a crisp, clean finish of lively fruit. It should cellar well. It is a versatile wine that may be enjoyed with seafood, salads and Asian cuisine.
2001 COWRA SHIRAZ
8 bronze medals
This wine was made using premium fruit and was matured in a combination of new
and old American oak. It is a medium bodied wine with a strong interesting nose
of rich fruit, spice and new oak. The dry finishing palate lingers with
blackberry flavours. It is a versatile, easy drinking red wine that will
complement red meat and game dishes as well as pasta and Asian cuisine.
SEMILLON / VERDELHO DESSERT
WINE 3stars by Winestate magazine
This wine is made from a blend of very,
very ripe Semillon and Verdelho grapes. 2004 was chosen to make this wine for
the first time as the season was very dry. Although the grapes were left for an
extended period to ripen, the level of botrytis was well managed. The palate is
of rich intense flavours with a clean crisp finish. This "sticky" complements
strongly flavoured cheeses and desserts - a wonderful way to end any meal!
FORTELHO - fortified Verdelho
Handpicked very ripe fruit, with a touch of botrytis, was used to produce this wine. After fortifying with high quality brandy spirit it was left to mature in 30 year old Muscat barrels for 15 months. The nose is of fresh orange peel and almonds. The long palate is of exotic berry flavours in harmony with the brandy spirit and lively acid. Fortelho is excellent as an aperitif, either straight or on the rocks. It is also wonderful after dinner with coffee.
