Experience Range

And now for something different. Wines in this range demonstrate Simon's innovative treatment of specific parcels of fruit and his willingness to challenge the 'everyday' winemaking process. Simon loves to experiment while capturing the raw, ethereal and sometimes undiscovered qualities of individual grape varieties.

Wines in the Experience range all come in 6 packs and are the Noble Riesling, The Rocks Pinot Gris and Astrolabe Farm Riesling

    Aroma: Sweet vanilla, butterscotch, nougat and light peach. Palate: Richly textured, with layers of fruit, oak and yeast autolysis nuances. Peach and nougat dominate. Serving Suggestions: Try with smoked salmon or eel, or with creamy pasta dishes.

  • 2007 Noble Riesling

    Aroma: Rich fragrant apricot and citrus aromas. Palate: Sumptuous sweet fruit, with apricot and citrus peel flavours, and a honeyed texture. This will continue to develop rewarding flavour and and bottle complexity with ageing, but is showing the most pronounced varietal characters in the first blush of youth.
