Something Sparkling
Bird in Hand Sparkling Pinot NV - copy
Bird in Hand Sparkling Pinot is everyone’s favourite!
I haven’t yet come across anyone who does not enjoy this Sparkling.
A sparkling rose with delightful strawberry and cherry aroma.
Clean vibrant strawberry flavours are enhanced by very fine persistent bead.
The fruit sweetness is perfectly balanced with crisp acid and long finish. Celebrate!
The Black Sparkling Shiraz NV
Vibrant and elegant, The Black Sparkling Shiraz NV strikes a good balance between extracting appropriate tannin for structure, while retaining natural fruit drive and aromatics. The result is a bright, full-bodied Sparkling Shiraz.
Hesketh Bright Young Things Sauvignon Blanc 2018
Colour: Pale straw with just a hint of lime
Aroma: Lively and aromatic – lemon blossom, pink grapefruit and a hint of passionfruit.
alate: Bursting with crisp acidity, refreshing and vibrant. Some tropical notes are evident but it’s mostly zesty citrus.
Food Match: A platter of freshly caught seafood Cellaring: Best enjoyed when young and fresh.
Bird in Hand Sauvignon Blanc 2018
The Adelaide Hills is renowned for Australia’s finest sauvignon blanc. Harvesting in the cool of the night retains freshness and flavour.
Fruit was sourced from within cooler pockets of the Onkaparinga Valley in the Adelaide Hills, to produce a premium quality sauvignon blanc.
Fruit was gently crushed and destemmed and immediately chilled to keep cold before being pressed to tank where fermentation occurred for approximately 14 days. A short maturation on lees is followed by an early bottling to enhance freshness.
This Sauvignon Blanc shows lifted, fresh and punchy flavours and aromas, underpinned with varietal notes of passion fruit, pineapple and grapefruit. Slightly textured on the mid-palate, it has a dry finish, with subtle citrus acidity.
Best enjoyed young as an aperitif or paired with seafood such as oily grilled fish or chargrilled squid.
The 2017 vintage of Bird in Hand Sauvignon Blanc was chosen as the ‘Sauvignon Blanc of the Year’ at the annual Winestate awards, the first Australian winery to ever win this accolade.
Hesketh Watervale Riesling 2018
Vibrant citrus notes of lemon, lemonade and passionfruit on the nose. With hints of sherbet, lime sorbet and lime curd. A fresh and clean palate with chalky acid that gives nice structure. Lemon curd and juicy grapefruit persist to give good length. The palate has a lovely structure thanks to the pressings component and flavour intensity. An aromatic and full flavoured Riesling!
Hesketh Pinot Grigio 2019
Colour: Pale straw with green and lemon hues
Aroma: Fragrant and lifted aromatics of citrus fruits with some floral hints and riper melon
Palate: Fresh, crisp and clean palate with citrus flavours all nicely integrated with richer tropical fruits and spice before a persistent and vibrant finish.
Food Match: Creamy spaghetti carbonara
Cellaring: Up to 2021.
Pike & Joyce Pinot Gris 2018
The palate is medium bodied possessing stone fruit mentioned above and some mineral/stony textures that gently wash over the mid palate providing length and interest. Balanced acidity ensures the wine does not finish fat or heavy.
Summary: The Adelaide Hills region has proven to be well suited to growing Pinot Gris successfully. This is the 12th release of the Pike & Joyce version and we think one of the best. It is still one of the best white wines to pair up with spicy Asian food.
Drink now and the next 3-5 years.
