Kono Sauvignon Blanc
Juicy crisp and fresh, Kono’s Sauvignon Blanc features a vibrant fruit-driven nose bursting with citrus gooseberry and passionfruit. On the palate luscious fruit flavors of ripe tropical fruits and lifted herbaceous notes are finely balanced with zesty acidity, an underlying minerality, and a hint of residual sweetness.
Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio
Notes of meadow flowers, pears, and golden apple. The bouquet is fresh and complex, showing refined notes of sage and mint accompanied by an elegant minerality typical of Pinot Grigio. The taste is lively and elegant. A touch of minerality lingers in the finish, with notes of lemon peel.
Dr Pauly Noble House Riesling
In line with an exceptionally ripe vintage, the 2019 Noble House is an exuberantly tropical, fruit-forward sip packed with luscious mango, tangerine, and guava flavors. Juicy and concentrated, it’s a straightforward but hedonistic crowd-pleaser that begs to be enjoyed young. With its slight sweetness, this wine goes well with fish, pork, and chicken.
Yalumba Eden Valley Viognier
Floral aromas are strong here, as with all Viogniers, though these are lighter and lean towards fresh white flower petals with underripe stone fruit notes braced by subtle, but tart, acidity.
Hitch Chardonnay
The 2018 vintage was a sun-drenched year that allowed for this varietal to provide all the aromas one would desire from this varietal. Choosing over many years the best locations throughout the valley to grow this Chardonnay grape has added to the complexity and true fruit character of this wine.
Fresh, ripe citrus, granny smith apple aromas pop into richer notes of pear and fresh-baked pie crust.
