Tasting Notes

2021 Laterite Hills Chardonnay
⇐ 2021 Laterite Hills Chardonnay

On the nose delicate notes of jasmine, ginger spice and nectarine leap from the glass, complemented by complex barrel ferment elements of cashews and struck match. The palate is delicate, medium-bodied and refreshing with a mealy texture and salty acidity.

2022 McHenry Hohnen Marsanne Roussanne
⇐ 2022 McHenry Hohnen Marsanne Roussanne

Intriguing, fragrant and unique, this wine reveals heady aromatics of camomile tea, frangipani and grilled peaches. Marsanne contributes to the richness and texture, while the Roussanne adds definition, minerality and a distinctive saline aftertaste.

2019 Hazel’s Syrah
⇐2019 Hazel’s Syrah​

A hyper-perfumed nose with lifted lavender, dark liquorice and cinnamon spice entwined with a savoury note of olive tapenade and roasted nuts. The palate opens with black cherries, plums and a velvety mocha note, followed by pepper spice and fine tannins.
