Charles
and Charles Rose 2013 $11.99
This rosé is a
gorgeous and vibrant pink color with streaks of salmon and fushia edges. Wild
strawberry and watermelon aromas are interwoven with Herbs de Provence, citrus
and mineral notes. These same flavors carry through to the palate where they
intensify with a surprisingly broad and plush mouth feel that concludes with
snappy acidity. This year Syrah
dominates the blend again, but with important supporting roles of other Rhone
varieties. Blend: 86% Syrah, 6% Cinsault, 4% Grenache, 2%
Counoise, 2% Mourvedre. Winemaker’s
Notes
Gobelsburger
Rose 2013 $16.99
The Zweigelt and St. Laurent
grape varieties grown in the cooler sites of Gobelburg and Langenlois are used.
After the harvest, the grapes – still with their stems – are softly pressed and
then fermented. This type of rosé is somewhat similar to a white wine because
no acid reduction is used to emphasise the fine fruity character with a
streamlined elegance. Its fragrance and fruit nuances of wild cherry and fresh
berries make this Rosé an optimal universal food companion. Winemaker’s Notes
Skouras
Moscofilero 2013 $14.99
The
colour is light white-yellow. Opulent aromas of white flowers, light and fresh
and honeysuckle are revealed, rounded out with notes of rose petal and passion
fruit. Bright, joyful acidity that is positively refreshing leads on to a
surprisingly long finish of orange rind and a whisper of white pepper. Winemaker’s Notes
Vina
Ardenza Reserva 2004 $32.99
Cedar, tobacco and spice
hints frame dried cherry, berry and vanilla notes in this silky red. The
flavors mingle nicely, framed by juicy acidity and light but firm tannins. The
wine has a lovely, weightless intensity. A fine example of the traditional
style. Drink now through 2020. Wine
