2008 Shiraz

A classic cool climate Shiraz from the hills surrounding Canberra, which offers cool brambleberry and spice aromas with a surprisingly generous palate. The flavours are quite refined, berries and a little pepper, with a long, fine tannin finish. With age, the wine will become progressively richer, revealing warmer, more complex flavours, riper berries and a little liquorice. Drink now, but definitely worth cellaring 1-4 years.

2008 Josephine Pinot Noir

The Canberra District is not well known for Pinot Noir, as only a relatively small number  of the wineries (compared to Shiraz)   produce pinot  noirs .  Generally the best Pinot Noir producers come from the Lake George/ Bungendore/Wamboin sub-region which is higher and cooler than the rest of the wine region  - about 3 degrees cooler than Murrumbateman.  

Wine experts who have tastied this wine make comments like ‘ This is the best Pinot Noir to come from the Canberra District for a number of years’.

This wine is our top Pinot Noir from the 2008 Vintage. It contains all the top barrels from 2008.

2006 Lerida Estate Brut Rosé

2009 Lerida Estate Pinot Rosé

The colour is crystalline pink, glinting with ochre, straw and honey, like a tray of varicoloured Argyle diamonds.  The nose is classic Lerida Estate Pinot Noir red fruit, but with an intriguing floral overlay.  Imagine a mixed punnet of red cherries and wild raspberries in a basket of roses and violets - all picked just after dawn. The same spectrum of flavours appears on the palate, wound tightly into a ball of natural fruit acids.  The finish is clean, fresh and dry.
