Australian wines from Waverley
The award-winning Jacob's Creek Johann Shiraz Cabernet (14% abv) is the company's icon wine, with fruit sourced from premium grape-growing regions of South Australia.
The wine has a delicate integration of spices, black pepper and plum, with blackcurrant and red berry. Aniseed and liquorice notes combined with savoury oak give this wine a complexity and richness, with well-structured tannins and ripe fruits.
The Montana Terroir Series Conders Forest Sauvignon Blanc 2006 (13.4% abv) is produced in the Rapaura area of Marlborough, where free draining soils and a warm dry climate are thought to give the wine intense fruit and tropical characters.
Crisp acidity also lends the Sauvignon Blanc freshness and balance.
From the Stoneleigh Rapaura Series, the Pinot Noir (14% abv) has intense pear aromas with peach melon notes, a textured palate with sweet, rounded, ripe stone fruit flavours and a touch of spice.
