'Classic Wines' 3-Pack
A mix of well-known and much-loved classics, but like, really REALLY good.
April's Classic Wines 3-Pack includes:
1. 2024 Ashli Rose Wines Semillon
Semillon | Western Tamar Valley, TAS | Ashli Mani | Ashli Rose Wines
Fresh and bright with a pale-honey hue, Ashli's 2024 Semillon delicate florals on the nose and just the right amount of zippy acidity to keep things lively further down the palate. It's all sweet green capsicum and citrus, with a crisp, refreshing finish. The fruit's been hand-picked, gently-pressed and fermented to bring out all those aromatic, high-energy vibes - the kind of wine that feels effortless but has serious attention to detail behind it.
2. 2023 Clotilde Davenne Chablis
Chardonnay | Chablis, FR | Clotilde Davenne | Domaine Clotilde Davenne
A very charming Chablis indeed. 100% Chardonnay from 38-year-old vines in Courgis, just south of Chablis. It's all the good stuff... citrus zest, peach, a soft, salty sea breeze that lingers on the palate, balanced with something sweet, quince, peach perhaps. Ancient Kimmeridgian soils, layered with fossilised oyster shells lend a flinty minerality that holds everything together. Just delicious.
3. 2021 The Cutting Shiraz
Shiraz | Barossa Valley, SA | Belinda van Eyssen | The Cutting
Grown in the Stone Well sub-region, this single-vineyard beauty had the luxury of a long, slow ripening season in 2021, soaking up every bit of flavour along the way. Juicy blueberries, a shake of spice, liquorice, silky and structured on the palate. Ooft. Hand-picked, whole-bunch fermented, and basket-pressed into seasoned French oak for 18 months, it has all the classic hallmarks of a boisterous Barossa Shiraz, while still hitting you like a warm hug. A true Autumn number.
