Our Wines

	2008 Pristine Chardonnay A distinctively fresh Chardonnay kept in its pristine form by the non use of any oak. The wine displays soft pear and melon characters with a crisp clean finish. Designed to drink as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to light dishes.
	2008 Mustang Sally Shiraz SOLD OUT Mustang Sally is a soft spicy Shiraz with earthy fruit characters. The palate shows light berry flavors with sweet soft tannins and a gentle finish. Not designed to put in the cellar, but to drink now on any occasion and especially with no nonsense chop and sausage barbeque.
	2006 Black Sheep - Shiraz (42%) Cabernet (38%) Grenache (20%) Black Sheep is an unusual blend of varieties to produce an easy drinking wine of medium structure with a medley of fruit characters. The Shiraz gives ripe blackberry and raspberry flavors, the Cabernet contributes strength and cherry characters, and the Grenache with its soft berry flavours, hints of spice & velvety silkiness is used to finish the wine. The 2006 vintage was blended using 42% Shiraz, 38% Cabernet and 20% Grenache, but these percentages may vary from year to year depending on the individual strength of grape flavor each vintage. Lightly aged for 8 months in seasoned American oak, the Black Sheep is bottled to be enjoyed now or cellared 2-3 years.
	2009 Block 8 Sparkling Chardonnay Viognier These two varieties were both hand harvested at different stages of maturity. The Chardonnay, picked in early February, was slightly green with high acid levels, and the Viognier was picked in March at full maturity. Only the very light free run juice was kept and then cold fermented for 10 weeks to showcase the freshness and characters of the varieties including fresh pears and apricots. A great wine for celebrations!
	2010 A Thousand Words Chardonnay This Chardonnay was hand-picked from vines on the Lambert Estate Vineyard, basket pressed, then slowly cold fermented for a period of 6 weeks to retain the natural fruit characters of the variety. Ageing on the yeast lees for a further 8 weeks adds complexity and character to the palate.
	2009 Nordic Frost Cold Pressed Riesling These Riesling grapes were hand-picked from the Lambert Estate Vineyard, then chilled to 2 degrees centigrade prior to basket pressing to preserve the fresh citrus characters of the variety. This wine shows a beautiful dryness, common to Australian Rieslings.
	2007 Three's Company GSM (52% Grenache, 28% Shiraz, 20% Mouvedre) SOLD OUT All three grape varietals were hand-picked from 40+ year old vines on the Lambert Estate Vineyard. The lightly scented characters of the Grenache grape when blended with the fruity Shiraz and the soft, plummy Mouvedre, create a medium bodied wine with a medley of flavours, aged in oak for 6 months.
	2008 Tempt Me Tempranillo SOLD OUT Tempranillo is a popular Spanish grape variety selected by us with the belief that it is well suited to our Barossa Valley climate. Aged in French Oak Hogsheads for 15 months the wine is characteristic of light cherry, plum and strawberry, medium bodied with low acid and tannin finish. Well suited to accompany a range of appetizers and tapas.
	2009 Forgive Me Zinfandel This Zinfandel made on a winemaker's whim, without over extraction, aged 12 months in 50% Hungarian Oak and 50% French Oak, has produced an elegant wine with characters of freshly sawn cedar, black cherry and plum.
	2008 Thoroughbred Cabernet A Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with beautiful structure and elegant finish, rather than overpowering, the 2008 Barossa Thoroughbred Cabernet Sauvignon has blackcurrant and plum characters, fine tannins and a distinct softness. The wine drinks extremely well now, but will reward patience if cellared over several years.

	2008 Silent Partner Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Sauvignon from the Long Gully Vineyard region in the Barossa Valley is low yielding with intense fruit flavours. Aged in fine grained American Oak hogshead for 18 months, this wine is firm and elegant with a rich finish. Best allowed to breathe after opening. Cellar 10 years
	2008 Family Tree Shiraz The Family Tree Shiraz is produced by selecting fruit from a single vineyard at optimum ripeness. Matured in new American oak for 15 months then bottled and allowed to rest. Rich in fruit with velvety tannins and a lingering soft finish. Best allowed to breathe after opening. Grown on Jim and Pam Lambert’s estate vineyard, this Shiraz saw all the attention that an individual Family Vineyard could receive. The grapes were fermented for a prolonged period of time before being gently pressed and transferred to new American Oak Hogshead that had previously been air dried for 3 years in Australian conditions to allow the oak tannins to soften. During ageing, the wine was periodically allowed to “breathe” to enhance the flavours of the fruit and integrate the acids. A winemaking technique seldom used. Incredibly rich in flavours now, the wine will continue to improve, and develop a velvety texture with age.
	Choc-a-Bloc Choc-a-Bloc is a luscious dessert wine, made using a fortified Australian Tawnywine base and seeping it with chocolate. A pleasant accompaniment with sweets or coffee. Great to sip on with friends.Chocoholics beware !!
