Australians tend to drink white wines too cold and reds wines too warm. Serving a wine too cold suppresses its fruit flavour and exaggerates oak character and tannin. Serving it too warm exaggerates alcohol but softens tannin.

On the palate the wine exalts with white peach and limes, the mid palate layers with a grapefruit inspired mineral chalk texture and the finish is fresh with a cream layered softness. This all results in a wonderfully appealing wine, which is full enough to enjoy individually, but with the delicacy which makes it suitable with a juice roast chook. All sounds pretty good to me.

WINDOWRIE - TASTING NOTES

SHIRAZ The Mill 2018 Shiraz is a full bodied wine with exemplary plum and spice aroma. The palate is well balance with lovely fruit intensity, complimented by the judicious use of French oak. This wine is a classic example of the quality of shiraz from Cowra and should be enjoyed now and over the next few years. Perfectly matched with char grilled vegetables and BBQ flavours.

CABERNET MERLOT

The 2019 Mill Merlot, builds from the last release. The wine has an intense purple colour with reddish hues. Aromatically the wine displays red plums, forest fruits, and complimented with oak derived dark spices. On the palate the wines enters smoothly, with rich red fruits followed by a really nice silky mid palate mouth feel. The finish of the wine is contributed by well integrated oak, providing a finely structured finish. This wine is best suited to lighter meats, my go to would be a family Sunday pork roast with red wine jus.

This year’s wine is a more ripe style of Sauvignon Blanc, but what sets it apart from previous releases, is its increased intensity of passionfruit and tropical notes with minimal grass aroma and flavours. These typical characters are complimented with a well intentioned mouth filling texture. Fresh acidity adds to the refreshing nature of this wine. This wine is a great accompaniment to light salads, fresh seafood and warm, sunny afternoons.

The wine has an intense purple colour with reddish hues. Aromatically the wine displays blackcurrant, forest fruits, a good pinch of crushed leaf with oak derived dark spices. On the palate the wines enters smoothly, with rich red fruits followed by a really nice silky mid palate mouth feel. The finish of the wine is contributed by well integrated oak, providing a finely structured finish. This wine is best suited to dark meats, my go to would be a T – Bone medium rare, with cracked pepper.
