The most restrained of the single-vineyard chardonnays from Giant Steps, this has an air of power to it. The 2012 Arthurs Creek Chardonnay is a wine of wonderful texture and intensity has is representative of its old vine vineyard. Marked by punchy, pineapple and citrus aromas, this is a medium-bodied Chardonnay with ample richness and texture. Custard and citrus flavours finish long and mouthwatering. This wine is a rare beast as it is no longer made. A delicious taste of history!
This fabulous Pinot Noir from Hardy’s is at its absolute peak now and is an incredible glass of wine. Medium red in colour with vibrant hues with a perfumed, rich and complex nose full of star anise spice and red fruit intermingled with black cherry, blueberry, plum and harmonious oak influence. The use of whole bunches in the press adds subtle complexity. The palate is a mirror image of the bouquet: this wine has a superb length of flavour, a wonderful sweet fruit overlay, mineral acid drive and silky fine tannins.
This really is worthy of your time!
The vineyard name originates from the surrounding water bodies – the dams which flank the block on all sides.
Its greater exposure to the north, west and east limits the vigour of the vines, while the sandier soil reduces water stress compared to Ferrous and Haven. These factors combine to make the wine silken, perfumed and approachable when young, as well as having flavour concentration and ageing potential. This 2011 is full of life with red cherry, redcurrant, alluring rose petal and savoury notes dominating the nose and palate. The tannins have softened over the years but are fine and silky.
Kooyong’s Haven Pinot Noir is a great Pinot Noir and exceptional with a few years of age – this 2011 is singing right now.
Almost indistinguishable from a Premier Cru Vosne Romanée, this gradually uncurls with swirling to reveal focused spicy, smokey, gamey aromas, permeate in the mouth with hints of anise and heather over succulent black cherry fruit. Well-structured, with richness and a warm, enveloping texture.
Planted exclusively to Pinot Noir, the Haven Vineyard is the most sheltered site, being bordered by trees on both the North and South, hence the vineyard name. The soil is loam over clay, with less sand than Meres and fewer sandstone pebbles than Ferrous.
Kooyong’s Haven Pinot Noir is known to age well, and that’s what we have done for you!
The 2009 vintage of this wine was always destined to be an exceptional wine. Deep in colour with intense spice on the nose. This intensity continues into the palate with red fruits, floral, incense and refined tannins. After 11 years, the wine’s freshness is still evident and just further re-enforces this magnificent wine’s pedigree.
Paringa’s and arguably Australias top Pinot Noir – made from barrels which were selected as clearly superior at the time of blending and bottling. The wine has rich powerful aromas of spice and dark cherry, combined with charry oak, secondary barrel-ferment mocha/coffee characters that will integrate further to become more Burgundian like with bottle age. On the palate the wine has rich ripe fruit, firm fine-grained tannins helping provide excellent texture and length.
