Out Of The Bottle
With David Ellis Rolling Wines’ 2010 Moscato & Chaffey Bros Wine Company 2009 Pinot Grigio
While
we've still hopefully quite a few more weeks of warm weather to enjoy
lazy late Sunday morning brunches, a wonderful drop to share these with
is Rolling Wines’ 2010 Moscato.
The first frizzante-style (small
bubbled semi-sparkling) from Rolling’s innovative young winemaker
Debbie Lauritz, this lovely drop is also just 6.5% alcohol – about half
the norm – making it ideal for splashing chilled into large wine
glasses to enjoy with those relaxing brunches.
A blend of
Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Black Muscat from Rolling Wines’ vineyards
in the cool climate Central Ranges of NSW, this wine’s salmon-pink in
colour with aromatic fruitiness and that frizzante light fizz. There’s
also a nice apple freshness without the biting acidity that sometimes
comes with lower-priced fizzes.
At a good-value $17.95 put a couple of bottles on the ice and quaff it down with a brunch of Eggs Benedict. One For Lunch
A
label with a pair of legs in fishnet stockings, one stiletto on and one
off, hints of a bare-backside, and the name The Killer may seem a
somewhat raunchy way of drawing attention to your product on the
shelves.
But South Australia’s Chaffey Bros Wine Company has
done it to good effect to successfully push sales of a 2009 Pinot
Grigio they import in bulk and bottle here under supervision of their
Italian winemaking partner in Venezia.
In keeping with the label
the wine is subtly perfumed with floral and fruit – and put to the lips
wakes the tastebuds with hints of honey and Pinot Grigio grassiness; at
$14.95 a nice one to invite to the table with pan-fried or barbecued
Atlantic salmon.
