Connoisseurs Collection White feat. McWilliams Chardonnay & Tunkalilla Riesling

$270.00

From all points of the globe, this collection of interesting whites offers intrigue, flavour and plenty of 'something different'. This pack contains 2 of the following wines: Rob Hall Chardonnay 2017 'Three vineyards, 70% whole-bunch pressed to barrel with full solids, 20% destemmed with 24 hours skn contact, 10% destemmed and fermented on skins for 7 days, matured in French oak (10% new). The bouquet is complex, as too is the palate; a very interesting group of vineyards, Lower and Upper Yarra- it all works well. Tangy, and with a long life ahead' James Halliday. Tunkalilla Vineyard Riesling 2012 'A very appealing aroma, almost Mosel-ish. The palate is racy and crisp, lively and tangy with vibrant acidity and terrific length. Firm and dry to finish. A delicious, mouth-watering riesling. Tasted October 2019' Huon Hooke. Son of a Bull Gewurztraminer 2018 Classic nose of Turkish delight and spiced rose water. The palate is drier than the nose suggests with notes of candied orange peel, grapefruit and hints of musk. Beautifully balanced with a lovely dry finish. McWilliamÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¢ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚Â¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚Â¢s 842 Tumbarumba Chardonnay 2014 'A light-coloured, restrained, very pared-back style of cool-climate chardonnay. If anything, it is a bit underdone. At four years, it's still undeveloped. On the plus side, it has delicacy, refinement and balance, oak is understated and the wine will live long - and probably surprise and delight in another decade's time' Huon Hooke. Poderi dal Nespoli Dogheria Rubicone IGT Pinot Bianco This wine offers a bright straw-yellow color, with delicate floral aromas such as jasmine and orange blossoms. The palate has a nice feeling of the typical mineral notes coming from both the terroir and the diurnal range of the territory. Neat, zesty and well- balanced, with an intense freshness and a long, elegant finish. Paparazzi Pinot Gris 2018 The nose displays apple blossom, green apple and nectarine along with strong aromas of white peach. The palate is dry but with a lovely textural richness running through it leading to pronounced acidity and a very clean finish, as is typical of cool climate vineyards.
