PINOT NOIR $25.00
CHERRY - RASPBERRY - EARTHY - SILKY
Pinot Noir is one of the most Noble of grape varieties and is
well suited to the cool climate of the Southern Highlands. Four
weeks of perfect weather prior to harvest ensured this year’s
Pinot would be dominated by fruit! A bouquet of raspberries
and strawberries, firm tannins from extended skin contact and
maturation in our new French Oak Hoggs Heads, this wine has
body. Easily the pick of the reds for the wine connoisseur and
well priced for a Pinot Noir, this wine is certainly worth considering.
With excellent depth and body, this wine will benefit from careful
cellaring for a further 7-10 years.

SAUVIGNON BLANC $25.00
AROMATIC - LYCHEE - HERBACEOUS - REFRESHING
Sauvignon Blanc was the stand-out variety for 2010.
Harvested with perfect ripeness and clean fruit, this
year’s Blanc boasts an exceptional aromatic bouquet and
palate. The usual characteristics you have come to
expect from a Marist Blanc are present; lychee, pineapple
and tropical fruit. The difference this year is the weight
on the palate and passionfruit flavours. This is easily our
best vintage so far and this wine is best consumed fresh!

RESERVE MERLOT $22.00
BLACKCURRANT - SUBTLE - FRUIT - SOFTNESS

characteristics of a great Merlot: marvelous fruit intensity
with a bouquet of raspberries and blackcurrant; a soft but well
structured palate with wild berry characters finishing with
the smoothness of dark chocolate. Carefully monitored maturation
in American Oak, this is an intense and complex wine bursting
with flavour.

Sparkling Pinot Chardonnay $37.00
BREADY - MINERAL - SHARP - SUPPLE
It has been 3 years since our first release of sparkling.
A traditional method sparkling wine made from Pinot Noir
and Chardonnay grapes which were hand picked and
pressed immediately. The Pinot Noir for this variety comes
from a special clone planted in the first 20 rows of the Mittagong
vineyard. Traditional Method demands a
minimum of 9 months ageing “on lees” in the bottle.
This means that the wine is left in the bottle following a
second fermentation and the yeast slowly breaks down adding
a “bready” complexity prior to disgorging. Full
of flavour and balanced by a smoothline of acidity, this
sparkling is perfect for gifts or celebration.

$25.00
LIQUORICE - PLUM - SPICE - FRENCH OAK
An exciting blend incorporating the round berries and subtleness
of Merlot along with the backbone and body of Cabernet. Deep
red in colour with aromas of blackcurrant, liquorice and spice.
A full bodies wine with a palate of plum, red berries and
mocha. Firm tannins provide well defined structure and, coupled
with French oak characters, create a stylish wine with outstanding
flavour.

2010
Vendange Tardive Pinot Gris $18.00
MARMALADE - VISCOUS - HONEY - SWEETNESS
In a style made famous in the Alsace region of France,
this is a new addition to the Marist repertoire. This wine
was harvested with a botrytis mould on the grapes. This mould,
known as “noble rot”, enhances the concentration
and sweetness of the grapes by dehydration.
Water is sucked out of the grapes leaving the flavours and
sweetness. Following fermentation we are left with a
viscous and succulent wine with fruity sweetness balanced
by cool climate acidity. We are one of only a few vineyards
producing this wine and it is certainly worth a try! Ready
to drink or will develop complexity over the next 5 years.
