Bundalong Estate Fume Blanc 2023

Sauvignon Blanc grapes age in charred oak barrels to impart a textual feel with a hint of oak.
It’s a pale straw in colour with tropical fruits up front followed by white peaches and a hint of limestone.
The palate is like the nose with white peaches with a textual feel from being on Lee’s in the charred barrel that gives a lasting finish. It would go well with a summer salad of blue swimmer crab on rocket and mandarin segments, with a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds.

McGuigan 2015 The Brothers Shiraz SA



A dark black cherry in colour with a nice glossy shine. The nose brings dark ripe berries, fruit of the forest jam comes to mind. I cannot find any oak it is just pure fruit driven. It is a simple easy drinking Shiraz, nice fruit of mixed berries that is very and smooth. A nice wine that seems to have been crafted to drink young. We enjoyed it with a charred grill scotch fillet, 15/20 Cheers Gaz

Wynn’s 2015 Coonawarra Chardonnay SA



A pale straw in colour that is crystal clear right to the rim. On the nose there is some match stick strike with flint stone and a little damp hay, while lurking in the back ground there are some white peaches and rock melons. On the palate lush Rock melons dance on the tongue with you know that green flesh near the rind. There is some new oak with hints of biscuit from a barrel ferment. It is a nice wine that paired well with our Chicken Florentine 15/20 Cheers Gaz
