WINE OF THE WEEK

Heggies Chardonnay 2011, Eden Valley

Here's a ripper of a wine that'll have you thinking again about Aussie Chardonnay!

From the cooler Eden Valley region, the grapes for the Heggies are sourced from high altitude vineyards, where the rocky and well-drained soils provide the ideal environment for Chardonnay.

The Heggies is a real class act – at 12.5% it's elegant and balanced, with beautiful poise and a marvellously long finish. Definitely not the usual Aussie offering!

Careful handling of oak gives the wine a subtle toasty and nutty character, without overshadowing the crisp minerality and refreshing acidity. There's a great purity of fruit, with stone and citrus fruits coming to the fore. The mouthfeel is rounded and soft, making this a most moreish wine!

If you're looking for a better value alternative to white Burgundy, this may well be the answer!

When I think of Cava I think of great-tasting, simple sparkling wine.  But it can also have complexity and finesse when made with care to high standards.

We've chosen to open the Codorniu Reina Cristina for our 'Sparkling Saturday' tomorrow because it's such a good example of strong yet elegant Cava.  It has aromas of brioche and citrus fruits.  It has fine, persistent bubbles, which come from fermenting the wine inside the bottle (which is what they do it in Champagne) resulting in very well dissolved carbon dioxide in the bottle, and well-integrated flavours.

Pop in and try some!

We're always happy to taste this superb Australian red wine... It is a blend of of three grape varieties: Shiraz, Grenache, and Mourvedre. It is a full-bodied beauty with round and generous tannins. It has flavours of jammy blackberry fruit, sweet spice, with a fruity pepperish finish.
It tastes even better alongside hearty food.

Serve it up with burgers for the BBQ (weather permitting!)
Job done.
