Lovely ripe fruit redolent on black cherries and mulberries with a touch of earthiness. Full bodied cherry driven palate with medium tannins. At $16 in a dozen it represents great value for money from Laithwaites.
Casa Freschi Ragazzi Rosato 2021, Langhorne Creek, SA
Nebbiolo based rose that sees a percentage on lees in oak. Yeasty nose with a touch of confectionary as it warms up (don't overchill this wine) Dry, soft round palate with nutty flavours and a textural mouthfeel. This wine gets under your skin and becomes moreish.
Lake Breeze Reserve Chardonnay 2020, Langhorne Creek, SA
Vanilla oak and nicely lees driven nose. Creamy textured palate from partial MLF treatment, round with medium acidity. Soft and ripe peach stone fruit flavours and a gentle finish. A satisfying Chardonnay and great value for money.
Lake Breeze Bull Ant Chardonnay 2021, Langhorne Creek, SA
Hints of tropical fruit and citrus on the nose. Dry, fresh, crisp front palate, then develops a hint of butterscotch and creamy lees as it warms up. Finally ends with some peachy flavours. Excellent priced wine, great value for money.
