Adelaide Hills

Pale salmon pink in hue, this is a really attractive colour for a rosé. Made from old-vine Grenache, the nose is fresh and full of strawberries but with a herbal note adding interest. It is dry and quite restrained on the palate with more ripe, crunchy strawberry fruit balanced by an appealing freshness, making you want to take another sip. Perfect on its own or a good accompaniment to mid-week dining al fresco.

BK Wines (Brendon and Kirstyn Keys) sources fruit from some of the most exciting growers in the region. Their familiar relationship with their growers is reflected in this wine’s name, which, with the blessing of the grower concerned, refers to an anatomical deficiency and has nothing whatsoever to do with cricket.

Fresh as a summer's day, the aromas of this wine are vibrant and appealing with notes of lemon and lime coming to the fore. The palate is focused and mineral with a lovely purity coming through. It is textured with a hint of toast on the long finish. This is a beautiful, precise wine and it is impressively balanced with only 12.5 percent alcohol.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 Astralis is still quite primary eliciting aromas of black plums, blueberry compote and blackcurrant liqueur with a savory and baking spice undercurrent plus a fragrant whiff of violets. Very structured, fine and complex in the medium to full-bodied mouth, this wine is revealing much more than when I first tasted it a year ago and is now showing layer upon layer of black fruit preserves, mocha, toast and spices before finishing with great length. Extraordinary wine.

Medium to deep garnet/purple, the 2012 Astralis (Shiraz) starts off with complex, meaty and earthy aromas wafting around a core of blackberry preserves, preserved plums, and mulberries with hints of licorice, Chinese five spice and potpourri. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, the multi-layered flavors have very spicy accents and are framed by ripe, grainy tannins. It has a very long and elegant finish with hints of exotic spices.

One of Australia’s most prodigious Syrahs, Clarendon Hills’ 2004 Syrah Astralis is fashioned from vines planted in 1920, and spends time in 100% new French oak from the cooper, Cadus. It boasts off the charts intensity as well as an opaque purple color, and notes of spring flowers, blueberries, blackberries, roasted coffee beans, pepper, smoke, and a hint of sweet toasty oak. This full-bodied, rich, intense, backward Syrah needs 2-3+ hours in the decanter if one is going to approach it at this point in its life.
