2008 Nordic Frost Cold Pressed Riesling
These Riesling grapes were hand-picked from the Lambert Estate Vineyard, then chilled to 2 degrees centigrade prior to basket pressing to preserve the fresh citrus characters of the variety. This wine shows a beautiful dryness, common to Australian Rieslings.
2004 Thoroughbred Cabernet
Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon has been Lindsay Stanley's pride for decades, and this wine shows his vast experience and love for the variety. This was the first red wine made by Lindsay Stanley under his own label in 1991. This wine certainly set the precedent by winning the Cuno Pacific Trophy at the Barossa Valley Wine Show and to date has still a long way to go in the bottle. Beautifully structured and elegant, rather than overpowering, the 2004 Barossa Thoroughbred Cabernet Sauvignon has blackcurrant and plum characters, fine tannins and a soft finish. The wine drinks extremely well now, but will reward patience if cellared over several years.
2005 Mustang Sally Shiraz
Mustang Sally is a soft spicy Shiraz with earthy fruit characters. The palate shows light berry flavors with sweet soft tannins and a gentle finish. Not designed to put in the cellar, but to drink now on any occasion and especially with no nonsense chop and Sausage barbeque.
Choc-a-Bloc
Choc-a-Bloc is a luscious dessert wine, made using a fortified Australian Tawny wine base and seeping it with chocolate. A pleasant accompaniment with sweets or coffee. Great to sip on with friends. Chocoholics beware!
