BRONZE MEDAL 2008 International Riesling Challenge

BRONZE MEDAL 2008 South Coast Wine Show

WINE

This wine is a multiple gold medal winner and the signature wine at CTH. It is starting to display all the characteristics of a premium aged Riesling, with a deep golden hue and a complex, almost creamy palate of toasty lemon butter, yet still displaying those same citrus and floral notes of its younger years. There is a level of acidity typical of its varietal concealed subtely by the fruit sweetness and overall perfect balance. This wine shows exceptional quality.

AROMAS

The nose is alive with the flavour of lemon and lime and, with a distinct flavour of roses, and has a faint aroma of kerosene synonymous with aged Rieslings

This Riesling is intended to compliment food and would be perfect for a day by the water with a seafood picnic.

Intense nose of ripe blackcurrants and blackberries, with cool fruit characteristics, a hint of leafiness, yet without herbaciousness.

2005 RESERVE CABERNET SAUVIGNON

AWARDS

award

BRONZE MEDAL 2008 South Coast Wine Show

WINE

The 2005 Cherry Tree Hill Cabernet Sauvignon was produced from select grapes from the Sunflower Paddock at CTH, ensuring the quality of every grape pressed to bottle this indulgent wine. This exclusive vintage is a legitimate reserve wine and thus deserves the tag. Bright cherry red in colour, the palate has medium fruit weight, firm drying tannins and medium acidity. It is a medium to full bodied wine with a warm rich velvet texture. Blackberry and cherry characters nicely balance with toasty oak giving the palate length and richness.

AROMAS

Typical leafy cassis notes on the nose.

FOOD

A fine cut of fillet steak followed by cheese.

DRINK

Perfect drinking now after breathing in decanter or glass. Will cellar for at least 8 years.
