Product Name: Chardonnay 2007

Varieties: 100% Chardonnay

Alcohol: 13.5%

Total Acidity: 6.33 g/L

Wine description: A delightful, fruit driven wine displaying aromas of tropical fruits and peaches with just a hint of lightly toasted oak. The palate exhibits fresh, ripe Chardonnay flavours of melon and fig with a delicate, creamy texture and a crisp, clean finish. Subtle oak handling complements, rather than overpowers the wine

Product Name: Shiraz 2007

Varieties: 100% Shiraz

Alcohol: 14.5%

Total Acidity: 6.23 g/L

Wine Description: Inky-purple in color, the Blue Reef Shiraz bursts with juicy fruit flavours. Aromas and flavours of ripe plums and blackberries are evident at first, with secondary aromas of chocolate and spice adding intrigue and complexity to the wine. Well-integrated American oak and soft tannis help create a supple, smooth wine with impressive length.

Cellaring: 2008-2011

Product Name: Shiraz Carbernet

Varieties: 20% Shiraz 30% Cabernet

Alcohol: 14.5%

Total Acidity: 6.23 g/L

Wine Description: A Powerhouse of a wine, bursting with ripe fruit flavours such as spicy dark plums, blackberries, black olives and mint. A tight palate structure reveals more of the same, but the addition of some lovely, cedary oak and some fine, dusty tannins, resulting in a medium weight, well-balanced wine.

Cellaring: 2008-2011
