Riesling

A

2020 RIESLING, SYP ‘MONSTERS ATTACK’ ………….58.00 Clare Valley, South Australia

Some Young Punks

  • vegetarian
  • texture-rich, zingy and citrussy
  • sourced from a single site north of the Watervale township
  • fruit was de-stemmed and crushed prior to pressing, with fermentation in a mixture of stainless and neutral oak barrels (15%).
  • off-dry style balanced by fabulous acidity.

The balance is superb, and the wine tastes like a mashup of lime, grapefruit and mint with some delicious lime juice cordial thrown in for good measure. A vinous mojito!

Q

Fig Aperatif

A

Fig Aperatif, Pot & Still

This hand crafted aperitif is a complex blend of Estate grown ingredients and other additions designed to complement and support the beautiful fig flavour.

Initially slightly restrained aroma wise, this cloudy yellow ochre liqueur delivers a superbly integrated melting pot of fig jam, quince, raisin and honey flavours ending on the tongue like a well aged muscat. Perfectly sweet, super pure and utterly seductive, it will be stunning as an aperitif or a decadent digestif.

Willa, the owner of the farm, has over 1200 fig trees on the estate.
Proudly chemical free for over 25 years, Estate grown Figs are poached gently to extract the sweet fig aroma, essence, and earthiness.

You may notice that the aperitif has beautiful flavours of fig, quince and hints of honey. The finish is utterly delectable and will have you wanting more!

Served chilled either neat or on ice. 60ml

Q

About Amaro’s

A

Amaro is an Italian herbal liqueur that is commonly consumed as an after-dinner digestif. It usually has a bitter-sweet flavour, sometimes syrupy, and has an alcohol content between 16% and 40%. Similar liqueurs have traditionally been produced throughout Europe.

Traditionally, amaro is served straight up or on the rocks in a tumbler or shot glass. A slice of lemon or orange rind is sometimes added and the bitterness can be diluted with seltzer water on a warm day, or with hot water in cold climates
