BREAM CREEK 2005 RIESLING

Not sure what you were thinking Adam, but well done it's paid off. A wine that is prodominatly Voignier and Chardoonay. Ok i can understand that but to then add another six white grapes to it some would say crazy, i say brillant Flavours: The wine offers a complex array of fruit and flower aromas of orange blossom, grapefruit, nectarine, orange blossom, grapefruit and other citrus and white peach. Wine Down Valuation: A gamble that has paid off amazingly well Cellaring: Whilst enjoyable now, this wine will reward careful cellaring for up to 2 years.

This wine with a few years now on it (2010) is lookng amazing and will do for another 10 does rival the most expensive Chardonnays we producein Australia Flavours: Ripe pear, melon and passion fruit on the nose, complicated by notes of smoky lees, marzipan and dried flowers. Round, fleshy and gently sweet, with a tangy lemon rind adding verve to the broad, palate-caressing orchard fruit flavors. Finishes with impressive clarity and clinging melon and honey notes. Wine Down Valuation: Every chardonnay lover needs to try this wine. Cellaring: This is complex enough to enjoy now but has the balance to age.
