2012 Dopff Au Moulin Gewurztraminer Alsace

Knappstein Riesling
The 2008 Knappstein Hand Picked Riesling shows lifted citrus fruit aromas with distinct floral notes, a signature of the parcels of fruit grown in the Watervale district of Clare. Fresh lemon and lime fruit flavours are framed by the wine's classic Clare Valley mineral structure. Knappstein's commitment to hand picking produces a delicate wine displaying excellent purity of flavours and textures.
Dopff Au Moulin Gewurztraminer
Dopff is a historical Alsace producer of quality table and sparkling wines. Such a connection with the terroir of the region can be seen in this lively and exciting Gewurztraminer that displays lychee and rose petals that fill the nose. The palate is classically varietal with hints of Turkish delight and a long spicy finish. Quite simply the perfect wine match to chilli-driven spicy Asian cuisine

Schild Estate “Ben” Premium Shiraz
Very deep crimson brick red colour with brick red hue. Perfumed nose – top note of violets, followed by blackberry and spice over ripe black cherries and ripe plum. The palate flavours are mouthfilling with explosive black pepper and ripe plum flavours over a background of spice and liquorice. Fine grained tannins. After taste of liquorice, black pepper, plum and spice.
Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine has rich varietal character, with superb oak integration, great depth, complexity and length. A full-bodied yet elegant wine style showing minty blackcurrant flavours, with superb oak integration from 12 months maturation in French and American hogsheads..

profiterole, caramelised hazelnut ice cream
grand marnier chocolate sauce

* 1995 Seppelt G.R.12 Seppeltsfield Show Vintage Touriga


$9.20

Seppeltsfield Show Vintage Touriga
A drier finish and the grape touriga underlines the point that this is an attempt at a more Portuguese style. It's still very fresh and vibrantly youthful, with a floral-peppery blend of fruit and spirit on the bouquet. It's soft and nicely balanced, and not tannic: a lovely drink right now, although it will age for a lot longer. Drink with blue cheese.
