Koonara

The Golden Orb Sparkling Shiraz

Completely opaque in colour. On the nose it's effectively Christmas Cake! Black fruits, spice, cinnamon. Medium finish, dry with soft silky tannins and a hint of vanilla. I'm presuming this wine has seen a bit of oak given the complexity and it is so well integrated with the fruit. Pretty awesome wine considering we retail it for just over $25 — 11 years ago

Jacques Selosse

V.O. Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

A colossus, the Jacques Selosse V.O. Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut is, as with all of his wines, a Champagne of immeasurable depth and complexity. Expressive notes of buttered croissant, Meyer Lemon Budino, golden apple, marzipan, Madagascar Vanilla seed pod, and smoke. A rich golden orb in the glass with a fine perlage, it is intense and powerful. Crafted in Selosses' slightly oxidative style, a taught, electric mineral vein of acidity that cuts precisely and cleanly through it's core, leading into white grapefruit, lemon thyme and chalk. Great length. Disgorged 10.28.13 — 11 years ago
