Henschke Mount Edelstone Shiraz 2017
Henschke crafts some of the New World's greatest wines, with a vitality, energy and vibrancy you rarely see in Barossa. The Henschke wines are produced using biodynamic and organic methods, to preserve the quality of the vines and soil for the generations to come. The beautiful and historic name Mount Edelstone is a translation from the German Edelstein meaning ‘gemstone’, a reference to small yellow opals once found in the area. The Mount Edelstone vineyard was planted in 1912 by Ronald Angas, a descendant of George Fife Angas who founded The South Australian Company and played a significant part in the formation and establishment of South Australia. Unusual for its time, the vineyard was planted solely to Shiraz.
Pommard Premier Cru 'Grand Clos Des Épenots', Domaine de Courcel 2012
Known for its power and structure, the 'Grand Clos Des Épenots' exemplifies the robust yet refined nature of Pommard. It's full-bodied, with firm yet well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. The fruit flavours are rich and concentrated, accompanied by a mineral undertone. Enjoy it now, especially with some decanting to allow the wine to open up, and it will continue to develop and gain complexity with further aging.
