Wines presently available

Arctic White 2020
$30

We have brought together our Panton Hill grown Chardonnay originating in the Burgundy region of France and Heathcote Verdelho originating in Portugal, to create a light, fresh, soft wine. This is a truly Australian meeting, and creates a wine with a complimentary balance of fruit and body. Honeysuckle and tropical aromas with a hint of lime are Verdelho’s contribution. Chardonnay adds melon and citrus notes, some weight and leads into a nice rounded finish.

Try this lovely wine with a mushroom risotto, chicken, roast pork or seafood

Try it with turkey or pork, slow cooked beef or lamb, a rich pasta Raghu or a wide variety of cheeses. This has greater Cellar potential than your average Merlot due to the addition of Cabinet tannin during the making process.

Dorothy’s Choice Muscat (average of 20 years in oak)

Further cellaring is unnecessary as this wine is already barrel aged.

$100

This luscious, complex, fortified wine has been blended from Rutherglen Brown Muscat with an average age of 20 years. Meticulous cellaring at Panton Hill over the years, along with intuitive blending, has resulted in a wine with depth, complexity and richness that reflects that time and care.Age is the major contributor, but youth also plays its part. The freshness and fruit of younger vintages add their touch to this luscious prima donna full of raisin, toasted almond and toffee characters. This wine is excellent on its own, after dinner with a rich dessert, coffee or a creamy, blue cheese.

Aromatica

Drink now or enjoy at your leisure.

$40

Originating in Sicily,and created by an English wine merchant, Marsala was popularized in Europe by Vice-Admiral Nelson, and remained popular for over a century. Despite an era when it was relegated to the kitchen, Marsala is enjoying a return to its position of prestige with poor quality copies being superseded by versions more akin to the original. Panton Hill Winery has been creating the original style as Aromatica for over 20 years, with a minimum oak barrel aging of 10 years. The result is a dark, rich and complex wine filled with the aromas of raisin, butterscotch and Christmas pudding This is the traditional wine used in Tiramisu, is wonderful in a trifle, with a short black and ice-cream, with chocolate or just on its own. V- Admiral Nelson would approve.
