Champagne - All wine that bear the name Champagne must by law come from the
world renowned Champagne region in the north west region of France. All of these
wines also must be a blend of either Chardonnay, Pinot Noir or Pinot Munier.
I drink Champagne when Im happy, and when Im sad.
Sometimes I drink it when Im alone.
When I have company I consider it obligatory,
I trifle with it when Im not hungry and drink it when I am.
Otherwise I never touch it unless Im thirsty. Madame Lilly Bollinger

Vermentino The leaves are dark green and pentagonal and is a late-ripening white
grape variety. The grapes are amber-yellow and hang in pyramidal bunches. The vines
are often grown on slopes facing the sea where they can benefit from the additional
reflected light. The grape is said to have been cultivated in Gallura, often under the
name Arratelau, since the fourteenth century.
Running with Bulls $35.00
Verdicchio - The name Verdicchio derives from verde (or "green") and refers to the
slight green/yellow hue that wines made from the grape can have and is the principal
grape behind two Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) wines produced in the
provinces of Ancona and Macerata, Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and Verdicchio di
Matelica. Verdicchio is a white Italian wine grape variety grown primarily in the Marche
region of central Italy.
Pallio di San Floriano 2008 (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) $50.00

6
Verdelho - It originally arrived in the country for the purpose of making intensely sweet
fortified wines, just as it does on the island of Madeira. Verdelho as a varietal still wine
is a success story in the Hunter Valley. However, when bottled as a still table wine the
winemakers of the Hunter Valley found theyd hit on something really special.

Soave (swah-vay) - Soave is an Italian white wine. Soave is created in the Venice area
from the Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave grapes. There are three styles of Soave: dry,
still Spumanti - sparkling, Recioto sweet. Soave is a straw yellow color, almost green
sometimes. It's known to be delicate and light, perhaps a hint of almonds. Think
perfumes and gentle flowers. Gentle acidity and a slightly bitter finish.

Masi Soave 2005 $45.00

Pinot Grigio / Pinot Gris - In Italy and California this wine is known as Pinot Grigio,
while in Oregon and France it's known as Pinot Gris. Other countries use the terms
interchangeably. Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio is actually the same white grape, with two
different names. The Pinot Grigio grape is in essence a white mutation of the Pinot noir
grape, which is red. The Italian version of Pinot Grigio is typically dry (not sweet) and
light, with a mineral taste to it. Often, they finish with a lemony or citrus flavour.
French Pinot Gris wines tend to come from the Alsace region. These are more fruity and
flowery than their Italian counterparts, though they still have that mineral aroma.
Flavours can range from peach to grapefruit to melon.

Viognier - It is a rare type of grape brought to Condrieu, on the northern Rhone, over
2,000 years ago by the Greeks or Romans. It is now predominantly found in the Rhone
valley, Australia and California. Viognier is extremely difficult to grow and therefore is
only used by few vineyards and often used to soften hunter Shiraz and to fill the palate.
Viognier is noted for spice, floral, citrus, apricot, and apple and peach flavours. It
typically produces medium bodied wines with relatively high acids and fruit. Typically,
the younger the Viognier the better - aging allows the fruity medley and the aromatic
strength of Viognier to fade away.

Gewrztraminer - 'ga-VERTZ-trah-MEE-ner' - Most people think of Gewrztraminer as
the sweet white wine with the unpronounceable name. Originally from Germany the
name means Spice Grapes. It is primarily grown in Germany, Alsace France, and in
smaller amounts in California and Australia. Gewrztraminer tend to be a sweet white
wine, although they do make dry versions. The aroma is a flowery, spicy one, with
particular odors of roses and lychees

Hugel Jubilee Gewrztraminer 1997 $ 85.00

Riesling It is believed to be indigenous to Germany, and has been planted there since
the fourteenth century. Riesling does the best in Germany and in California, but is also
grown in the Alsace region of France, in Austria, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
Riesling is a late-ripening grape, and only has a moderate yield. This makes it difficult to
grow, and often the price reflects this. A cheap Riesling might be sharp, but a well
grown Riesling will be a sweet but complex white wine that age very well. Riesling is
affected by where it is grown - Rieslings tend to be dry and have a melon taste, while
Germanic Rieslings are tarter and 'grapefruit'. Other typical Riesling flavours include
fruity and floral, as well as honey and musky.

Sauvignon Blanc- Sauvignon Blanc has been used for generations in France, New Zealand
is now known as one of the top producers of Sauvignon Blanc. Sauvignon Blanc has
pronounced flavours of an herbal variety, with grassy and apple flavours, plus olive and
a soft, smoky flavour. They can be anything from sweet to dry, but are typically very
light. Sauvignon Blanc tends to be crisp and acidic; helping the wine cut through heavy
food flavours and loves cool climates.

Chenin Blanc - The Chenin Blanc grape is best known for its use in the Loire Valley of
France. There, it is used to make Vouvray. Chenin Blanc is a white grape that produces
crisp, balanced wine that age well. Chenin Blanc tends to taste of apples, pears, tropical
fruits. It tends to be dry to semi-dry, Vouvray tends towards a sweet but dry flavour,
again, affected by where it is grown. Typical flavours include lemon, fruit, and minerals.
Some Vouvray wines have flavours of apples and pears. The richer style of Vouvray is
called moelleux. Moelleux tends to be a more pure gold colour, and has flavours of
honey, caramel and prunes.

Marc Bredif Vouvray 1993 $110.00

Ros - When Ros wine is the primary product, it's produced with the skin contact
method. Black-skinned grapes are crushed and the skins are allowed to remain in
contact with the juice for a short period, typically one to three days. The must is then
pressed, and the skins are discarded rather than left in contact throughout fermentation
(as with red wine making). The skins contain much of the astringent tannin and other
compounds, thereby leaving the structure more similar to a white wine.

The longer the
skins are left in contact with the juice, the more intense the color of the final wine.

Certified Organic Wines - Wine production comprises two main phases that which
takes place in the vineyard (i.e. grape growing) and that which takes place in the winery
(i.e. fermentation of the grapes into wine, bottling etc.). The baseline definition of
organic wine as "wine made with grapes farmed organically", deals only with the first
phase (grape growing). There are numerous potential inputs which can be made during
the second phase of production in order to ferment and preserve the wine. The most
universal wine preservative is sulphur dioxide. The issue of wine preservation is central
to the discussion of how organic wine is defined.

Semillon - Hunter Valley Semillon was first planted in the region in 1830, and has been
produced and variously labeled as Hunter Valley Riesling, Shepherd's Riesling, Hock, Rhine Gold,
White Burgundy and Chablis. In its youth it is exhibits austere lemon, grassy notes but with 10
plus years in the bottle it develops into a rich, minerally wine with biscuit notes. The character
of the wine changes so much that it often even fools professional tasters of being an oak aged
Chardonnay that has gone through malolactic fermentation, this despite the fact that it likely
hasn't seen a touch of oak or lactic acid bacteria. It is the unique climate that shapes the Hunter
Valley's distinctive Semillon. While the textbook profile of Semillon is that of a thin skin, neutral
grape that is prone to low acids and fatness in the Hunter it matures over decades into a
honeyed wine. Despite almost always being unoaked, a mature Semillon gives the textural
impression of spending years in the barrel. Semillon is often harvested in the hot, humid climate
of the Hunter Valley at lower sugar, acids and pH levels then its cooler climate counterparts in
Bordeaux. With the frequent cloud cover and cooling sea breezes coming in off the Pacific, the
terroir of the Hunter Valley strings together these elements into a complete unique expression
of a grape that is unmatched anywhere else in the world.

Chardonnay - The Chardonnay grape variety has proved to be particularly versatile
growing in a variety of conditions worldwide. In the warm and humid growing conditions
of the Hunter Valley fruit is picked at maximum ripeness making for rich full-bodied
styles. With bottle age the style develops additional richness and complexity.

Pinot Noir - Whats a delicate, fussy grape like this doing in a sun-drenched robust
country like Australia, you might ask. Youd be asking a good question. Pinot Noirs
origin dates back to well before Christ. It is a challenge to grow in any part of the
world. Most of our Pinot is coming from the great New Zealand wine producing areas.
Being a cool climate variety, growers in the coolest regions are seeing great success, in
these regions the wines tend to come out with strawberry / raspberry- characters when
young, and then get progressively more mushroom and savory with age. The best styles
of all come from vines with a little age, which havent been harvested too heavily and
from wines given a gentle maturation in oak barrels.

Merlot - It is the name of a red grape which traces its ancestry to the biturica variety.
This was brought to France in the first century. From this stock came many of the
varieties we know today - Cabernet, Malbec, and so on. The "Merlot" grape was not
named as a distinct variety until the 1800s. It is known as a Noble Bordeaux varietal.
Merlot is not well suited for long aging, so until recently the wine made from merlot
grapes was used solely as a blending wine. Soft and compliant, it was used to mix with
Cabernet in the French Bordeaux wines. It would bring a more mellow aspect to these
wines. It tends to be more tolerant of soil conditions than a Cabernet vine is, and while
it buds earlier, it also can be harvested earlier. Not quite as harsh as other reds, merlot
has less tannin than a Cabernet and can therefore be drunk earlier. It is mellow but still
complex, a bit chewy. Merlot is known for the flavours of plums, black cherry, violets,
and orange.

Margan Merlot 2009 $ 43

Cabernet Sauvignon - Usually considered the noblest of red grapes, probably due to its pride
of place in the history of old world classics. In Australia, look for it in the medium to cool
regions and the wines will be as powerfully flavoured, blackcurrants and full-bodies as youd
expect from anywhere. Its at its minty best in Coonawarra and Margaret River the latter
region coming up with wonderfully good blends with Merlot. The Yarra Valley in Victoria is
another Cabernet Sauvignon producer, making wines that are pure-fruited and elegant. McLaren
Vale in South Australia and Mudgee in New South Wales also generate wines with black currant
and berry characters with a hint of chocolate. All of these wines are rich and well structured to
benefit from further age in bottle, so its also well worth cellaring them, as we have.

Sangiovese Chianti Italy - Sangiovese is best known as being the fruity, fresh wine
that is at the core of all traditional Italian Chianti wines. Chianti is the wine traditionally
served in a basket-bottle, served with lasagna and pasta with red sauce. For the longest
time you could not get a straight Sangiovese wine, but in modern times you can find it
occasionally. Most Sangiovese is grown in the Chianti region of Tuscany, Italy.

Petit Verdot Mdoc France - Petit Verdot is legally one of the only grapes which are
allowed to be used in a red Bordeaux blend. It is usually added in very small amounts to
add some colour and structure to the blended wine. A few other countries have been
experimenting Australia one of them with growing Petit Verdot and bottling it as a wine
on its own. Petit Verdot can have flavours of banana and violet.

Wayne Thomas Petit Verdot 2007 $50.00

Malbec Cte Valley France - Malbec is a red grape that is popular in Argentina and
Chile. While it once was also grown in Bordeaux, it is rarely used here in modern years.
Still, it is legally one of the only grapes which are allowed to be used in a red Bordeaux
blend. This black grape creates a rustic, mid-bodied wine, but is most often used in
blending with other wines. In Argentina it is almost the most-planted red grape, and is
the third most planted in Chile.
Seppelts Malbec 1970 $130.00

Tempranillo Rioja Spain - Tempranillo is a red grape which has been used in the
Rioja wine from Spain for centuries. Rioja is a red wine blend which is also made from
Garnacha Tinta, Graciano, and Mazuelo. In the recent past more winemakers outside of
Spain are taking the plunge and making a wine solely from Tempranillo. Tempranillo
makes wines with tobacco, herb and berry flavours. They can be drunk young, but many
also benefit from several years of ageing.

Running Bulls Tempranillo 2009 $45.00

Cabernet Franc Loire Valley France - Cabernet Franc is the name of both the grape
and the wine it produces. Red Bordeaux, while mostly created with Cabernet Sauvignon,
uses for blending in flavour both Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Cabernet Francs are also an
important ingredient in Meritage. Cabernet Franc traces its ancestry, as do most grapes
in the Medoc region, to the Biturica. This grape was imported during the first century
A.D., but it wasn't until the eighteenth century that the name 'Cabernet' began to be
used. Lighter and fruitier than its Cabernet Sauvignon relative, Francs often have cherry,
blackberry, and vanilla aromas. The tannin is soft and gentle, and the finish is smooth.

Shiraz - The Hunter Valley is home to some of the oldest own rooted Shiraz vine in the
world with some vineyards boasting vines that are in excess of 120 years of age. Hunter
Valley Shiraz is characterised but its astringent, gamy noted but has a tendency to
develop in the bottle over 20 to 30 years into a silky, texture earthy wine with notes
reminiscent of a Rhone. Traditionally Hunter Shiraz has carried the descriptor of "sweaty
saddle". While this was once thought to be a terroir characteristic of the areas volcanic
soils, it is now known to be caused by ethyl-4-phenol that comes from the exposure of
the wine to certain strains of yeast in the Brettanomyces family

The Shiraz grape is the most widely grown red variety in Australia. The tradition cloud
cover associated with hot and humid growing conditions in the Hunter Valley protects
the Shiraz fruit from excessive ripeness. The resulting style whilst full flavoured is
medium bodied the style gaining additional complexity with age.

Dessert wines - Stickies are intensely flavoured white wines, deep gold in color with
bouquets of dried apricots, rich sweet flavour and a sharp acid finish. Their intensity of
flavour means they are often sold in half bottles and drunk to accompany or even
replace desserts. They are also the perfect accompaniment to blue or soft cheeses.

Fortified Wines - by bottle
Port, Sherry, Madeira, Malaga, Tokay, Frontignan and Frontignac are all fortified wines.
They also happen to be place names in Europe or names for wines from specific locations
there so many of these names can't be used to describe an Australian made product.
Muscat is the one exception and refers to the name of the grape it's made from. The
Muscat family of grapes includes Orange Muscat, Muscat Canelli and Muscat de
Frontignan.
