2016 Patrick Estate Fumé Blanc
This Sauvignon Blanc was fermented and matured on lees in French oak puncheons, giving it the texture and complexity for which the Fumé Blanc style is renowned. A hint of oak with delicate tropical fruit aromas lead to the creamy palate and lengthy finish.

2010 ‘Jessie’ Botrytis Riesling
The 2010 vintage saw the rare weather event of wetter conditions followed by dry, humid days. These were perfect conditions for the Botrytis Cinera fungus to grow on the Riesling grapes. The resultant concentrated berries have been masterfully transformed into this luscious, complex dessert wine. Aromas of apricot marmalade & orange peel fill the glass. The palate is rich and viscous with honeyed fruits perfectly balanced with the citrus finish.
