They include;

Slapjack Creek Reserve Pinot Noir
Made only in those years where the wine quality is superior. A deliciously full bodied wine, containing layers of complexity with well integrated oak, deep purple in colour and exuding flavours of black cherries, plums, and savoury mushrooms and bacon. It is seductively smooth, and lingers in the mouth.

Nipple Hill Pinot Noir
A well balanced, lighter style but well rounded wine. Matured in tank with oak influence to suit the weight of the wine, it displays the delicious aromas and flavours of Pinot Noir without being heavy or over wooded. Named for the hill adjacent to the vineyard.

Sauvignon Blanc
A crisp, clean wine displaying gooseberry and tropical fruit flavours. It makes excellent summer drinking and is distinctively Alsace in style.

Riesling  [Dry]
A classically crisp and dry wine, full of lime and lemon flavours that fill the mouth and linger. This wine is very European in style and whilst very tasty now, it will reward cellaring.
Cellar for 3 to 8 years  [ view label ]  [ view / print notes ]

Annieburn Riesling  [Sweet]

Displays citrus aromas with nectarines and stone fruit flavours. The natural fruit sweetnesscompliments the tangy finish, giving the wine length and elegance.

Cellar for 6 to 10 years or more

Gewurztraminer
A sumptuous mouthfilling wine made in a dry style. The bouquet of rose petals, lychees and cloves gives a hint of what is to come; a concentrated mid palate and a long finish.
Cellar for 3 to 7 years  [ view label ]  [ view / print notes ]

Robert the Bruce
"A Bannockburn Red", is undoubtedly the owners folly; a blend of Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz grapes that are located on a hot, stony north west slope of the vineyard. It is classic Southern Rhone in style, dry and full with smooth aromas and flavours of mushrooms and cow byres. Made in minute volumes, it is very much, first come first served.
Cellar for over 4 years  [ view label ]  [ view / print notes ]

Desert Gold
Late harvest Riesling, the first vintage of 2000, was so delicious we were tempted to keep it all. The wine is light gold in colour and has the most stunning nose, full of tropical fruit and citrus. It exudes ripe pink grapefruit on the nose and the smooth mouth filling flavours follow, exactly as your first glimpse tells you they should. Another low volume speciality, this wine is superb already but will reward those who can keep it, for who knows how many years.
Cellar for over 4 years  [ view label ]  [ view / print notes ]

Autumn Gold
Late harvest Chardonnay, first produced in 2002. The wine is light gold in colour and has a most amazing nose, full of stone fruit and liquid raisins. Another low volume speciality, this wine is superb already but will substantially reward those who can keep it.
Cellar for over 4 years  [ view label ]  [ view / print notes ]

Verjuice
Produced from green Chardonnay grapes harvested in early February, some two months prior to normal harvesting. This is a deliciously astringent cooking supplement. A cross between lemon and vinegar it is a wonderful ingredient in various dishes as well as for marinades, dressings or even reduced as a dessert accompaniment. Try it as mixer in your gin and tonic or use to dip your oysters in. It contains no alcohol.
Will keep unopened for the next 24 months and 6 to 10 weeks in the fridge, after opening.  [ view label ]  [ view / print notes ]
