A sweet gift from the magical Moldavian Winter. Ice wine is a dessert wine produced from grapes that are frozen while still on the vine. The water in the grape freezes meaning that when the grape is pressed the result is a smaller amount of more concentrated, very sweet wine.This Riesling ice wine is a luscious, delicate treat that is simply heavenly. Fruit and floral sensations along with dark chocolate add depth to the palate. The finish is rich, crispy and refreshing. With a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. Enjoy on its own, with chocolate, berry fruits, blue cheeses or creamy desserts.

From Austria, blaufränkisch is all about dark fruit flavours married with elegant spice. But what makes the wine stand out is its ability to age. Within a few years, blaufränkisch becomes lush and softens beautifully. This example come from vines up to 50 years old and is certified vegan. It shows a beautiful translucent colour, with a fine tannin structure and exceptional balance. The wine will improve with bottle age for at least five years but will drink beautifully for many years beyond.

With its fresh, intense lemon tonic, pear, apple, oyster shell aromas, superb lemon curd richness, persistence and minerality, Crawford River Riesling reflects the modern idiom of the Riesling style. The dry-grown vines, first planted in 1975 by John Thomson, are deeply anchored in gravelly friable basalt loams over clays and an ancient limestone seabed. Second generation winemaker Belinda Thomson, with her father John Thomson, continues the philosophy of minimal intervention and movement during vinification. The cold-settled juice is batch fermented around 12° - 15° C and left on lees for around six weeks before bottling in September.
