White Wine
Quinta de Curvos ‘Avesso’ Vinho Verde 2013
DOC Vinho Verde, Portugal $14.95 13.0% alcohol
Floral notes, savory herbs and mineral/saline aromas mingle with lime cordial on the nose. It bathes the palate with a full-flavoured surge of Meyer lemon, grilled pineapple and white peach. Mid weight and nicely textured, the finish is tangy, racy and lip-smacking delicious. Pour with pan-seared fish and shellfish. (Vic Harradine)
Gebrüder Steffen Weissburgunder ‘Trocken’ 2013
Qualitätswein Mosel, Germany $24.95 12.0% alcohol
Apple, pear and citrus notes on the nose, this bathes the palate with soft, fruit flavour—lime cordial, yellow plum and lemon pie filling. It’s light on its feet with a mid-length finish and aftertaste. Pour on its own as an easy-drinking aperitif or alongside lighter-styled canapés. (Vic harradine)
Gebrüder Steffen Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling - Kabinett 2013
Pradikätswein Mosel, Germany $24.95 8.0% alcohol
This delivers purity of fruit, balance, structure and a boatload of style and charm. Lemon-lime, tangerine and floral notes open this balanced and bountiful Riesling. It dazzles the palate with lime cordial, crisp green apple and grilled pineapple. It’s off dry, medium bodied with creamy smooth mouth feel and a monumental finish and aftertaste—lengthy, mouth watering, and just plain delicious. (Vic Harradine)
Hallgartener Jungfer Riesling ‘Halbtrocken’ 2012
Qualitätswein Germany $17.95 11.5% alcohol
Lime and mineral aromas precede a racy, tang-infused flow of lemon, lime and white grapefruit pith streaking across the palate, infusing the crisp, refreshing aftertaste. It’s light-medium bodied with delicate texture and oodles of nerve and verve. Serve with grilled garlic prawns and a squeeze of fresh lemon or scallop ceviche. (Vic Harradine)
Rosé Wine
Quinta de Curvos ‘Rosé’ Vinho Verde 2013
DOC Vinho Verde, Portugal $13.95 11.5% alcohol
Aromas of strawberry and red berry fruit adorned with exotic spice abound. Strawberry, rhubarb, blood orange and red grapefruit pith streak over the palate infusing the crisp, fresh finish. This is light on its feet with a mid-length, dry, racy aftertaste.
Red Wine
Cantine Colle di San Domenico Aglianico 2013
IGT Campania, Italy $17.95 12.5% alcohol
Campfire smoke, charred toast and roasted herb aromas herald a mid-weight tangy, warm river of briary berry and blackcurrant syrup cloaked in mincemeat pie spice. There’s good texture with flavours replayed on the finish and aftertaste. A still-resolving tannin base suggests a two-hour aeration/decant. (Vic Harradine)
